I made the most amazing chicken Parmesan for dinner tonight with spicy marinara and low carb linguini.

It was spectacular!!! I kept eating to the point of discomfort, take a break, and eat some more.

The portion was minuscule compared to once upon a time, but the behavior is what worries me. It really is my best chicken parm ever.

I had to walk around and take deep breaths to keep from sliming and puking.

I am 9 days post op and I totally licked the seasoning of a dorito... And took a tiny bite of my husbands chicken salad. Chewed the heck out of it before swallowing but it was sooo good.

Okay' date=' sorry don't believe that crap. I've lost 103 pounds. 3 plus years out. Drink about 150 ozs or so a day and it's ALL THROUGH A STRAW! I have great restriction and no reflux!!! :)[/quote']

Thank you, thank you! I have always been a "straw drinker" and I'm glad to see it hasn't affected you. It's really weird for me to drink from a glass...I like my drinks to be COLD but the ice from that hurts my teeth - hence the straw

I have had Velveeta Shells and cheese. Just about a cup and I was stuffed. Logged it on MFP and it wasn't nearly as "bad" as I thought. Even had Protein. I find that eating it and then logging it takes the "badness" factor out and I don't need to feel guilty. I'm in control' date=' not the food.[/quote']

I saw a recipe tonight that put those frozen lil breaded shrimp on too of Mac n cheese...sooo if you do that, you will for sure get your protein ;-)

Honestly' date=' after reading all of this I don't feel bad or guilty or dirty anymore. The fear is that one "mess-up" will lead to more and more, and it is important to stay on top of emotionally unhealthy eating behaviors don't get me wrong. But it can also be pretty unhealthy to beat oneself up over things. It's that kind of thinking which can lead to binging in me. I would have felt much better if I'd just had the slices of pizza that I wanted and not worried so much over having to eat it all since I'd already begun or to prevent eating only pizza every day for the rest of my life omg. I could have had three slices or whatever and not felt bad about it, just enjoyed it. So I made pound cake today. I made it a couple of weeks ago and had a slice or two every day and felt guilty and like I was ruining my weight loss. Well today I planned for it and I made it and it's delicious. I've even decided to give half of it away and I've just packed it up, but not because I'm afraid I'll ruin myself but because it's good and I want to share. I don't have to feel bad at all about those slices I've already eaten. They feel darn good in my belly right now.[/quote']

Mmmm homemade poundcake. Haven't had that in years. Please post your recipe...

I drink beer over ice and have no problem keeping it down. I don't do it often but when I do its so good.

I've heard of this before. Why does it work? What happens to the carbonation?

10 months out and still I find myself battling with craving crappy food most days are okay but then I have a day like today that sneaks up and slaps me right in the face.. Today I did great until I opened the freezer and there were the Peanut Butter cookies.. Two of them found their way into my belly.. Then I was cleaning out the camper and we had chocolates for smores... two small chocolates made their way into my belly... then this evening I had two girl guide Cookies which my father in law brought by for the kids :( haven't had this bad of a day in a long time... logged it all into my fitness pal and it wasn't as bad as I thought... I wasn't stress eating which used to be the culprit..I was eating out of bordem.. I have cleaned out the crap from all of these places and I need to find something better to do with my time. I am at goal and I think that maintenance is playing with my mind a little.. Thanks for sharing everyone, its kind of nice to know that there are others out there like me :)

Just curious as to how much you had to make the nausea come on? Or is it just the fact that you ate it at all (or was it the carbs)? I love chik parm and I am trying to get a gauge of if I will never be able to eat it post sleeve.

I believe it was mostly the Pasta. Low carb. High carb. Whole wheat. It doesn't matter. Pasta lands hard and fast. I didn't eat much at all. But it was too much.

I made a pot roast and homemade mashed potatoes for the family night before last. I can tolerate beef very well but that chuck roast immediately evacuated back through the way it came. I figured it was just a bad night as I have those from time to time, but I tasted it the next day and BOOOOOOM, out it came.

The mashed taters were the same. They made me feel as if I had swallowed a rock. SOB!!!! I am in serious denial right now.

We had filet mignon, broccoli and loaded mashed potatoes last night. The only thing I can say is, at least I used 2% cheese, turkey bacon and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the loaded potatoes, lol.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
