1st time I've felt the restriction :)



Recommended Posts

So I'm almost 2 months out (Feb. 11) and I had posted pretty soon after surgery about not being sure that I had very much restriction (I was still on liquids at the time). Anyway, I've been carefully weighing and measuring, so although I would sometimes start to feel full, I had never had an "old normal" portion of food on my plate since surgery. Today I forgot to bring my Protein shake for lunch :( As a teacher, I decided to look at the lunch menu to see if anything would fit in with what I needed. They did have a cheeseburger option (trust me, it's not worthy of the name), but I decided to eat the meat without the bun. I COULDN'T EVEN FINISH IT :) :) :) I put it in mfp and I'm so happy because I didn't go off track and eat bread or breaded items that were available; I got really full off a partial hamburger patty; I'm still on track with my nutrition tracking and my Protein goals for the day. I feel lucky!!

I'm 15 weeks out and craving a burger really bad. I don't have restriction either. I'm going to order a small one tonight and eat a little of it anyway....I've got to get it out of my system!

I also had my surgery in Dec. Any chance you'd like a new MFP friend?

Well I tested my pounch really well this weekend. Last night I ate 1/2 hamburger bun and all. And a handfull of fries. No problems. Today I ate a few Cookies and cupcake for my grandson's birthday, no problem! Now mind you I do not intent to eat like this except for rarely. Not sure that I like the fact I have no restriction and don't seem to dump!

      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.

      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

      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! 😞
