You can't deny yourself everything. You'll go crazy. I still occasionally have pizza or even a cookie. Why? Because if I don't one day I'm going to binge.

But now it's a slice or two of pizza - not half of a pizza. And it's one cookie - not half a dozen.

Thank you. I'm feeling better today. Allot of walking. Must want to make sure i haven't stretched pouchy. Today shakes and Soups. Tomorrow back to the plan...just going to watch my portions.

I just hit my Protein goal for the day without any protein supplement! My nutritionist wanted me to start weaning off the shake and today it was possible! It will be hard to do on work days since I had the time to cook a protein rich Breakfast and lunch, but it's one step closer to no more protein shakes!

Fellow Junies-- I need advice. I'm battling serious head hunger lately. It feels like I'm ravenous, sometimes right after eating. I'm getting all my Protein and doing well otherwise. Help!

Hi Lisa

There could be a physical reason for the hunger. My clinic has told us that at about 7 to 8 months the nerves around our pouch that signal hunger, begin to function normally again. This is why for the first 6 months my clinic has such a very strict eating plan, they want to take full advantage of this time when we are not feeling physical hunger. I don't think most of us are at 7 months yet, but I am sure this is based on averages, so I am sure there are some people that face it sooner. I would recommend a call to your NUT to see what they would suggest.

If it is head hunger, then RJ's advice could not be better. The only thing I would add is that is when I sometimes am able to down a big glass of Water. The water fills me up until the head hunger passes. The smell of food, like pizza, chocolate, and frying bacon, really get to me! Keep up the good fight!

I just want to tell everyone thank you for all the support. I honesty don't think I could be doing this without y'all. I'd be totally lost.

I have no family, except my kids and very few friends. None of my friends have gone through this and would have no clue about the struggles we face almost daily.

So again...thank you!

Speaking of new clothes... Has anyone noticed they need to buy smaller shoes? I wore a pair of boots last night from last winter.. They were too big in the calves, no biggie i tucked my jeans into them. But as the night went on my feet started to hurt and I think it is because the shoes are now too wide for my feet... crazy! :) Time for new boots!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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
