Question: i still eat very fast in bigish bites. when will my band stop me from doing that? i have 5.6 in i believe (2 fills)..going for my 3rd.

i've been as high as 8.5cc in my band, and now comfortably @ 7.2. i too have a tendency to eat fast - but meats ALWAYS check me it seems, and i have to slow down a bunch. so far i've had 8 fills & 2 unfills, and it was around fill #5 that i couldn't inhale my meals:eek:, hopefully fill #3 will work for ya!!!

See meats don't bother me. It was only the one time i wrote about with the Breakfast sandwhich lol (the one bite i took). I don't, however, eat steak. Well i'm hoping it gets me in check..we'll see on Wednesday i suppose!! I can eat my entire meal in 15 min flat (and i usually do) and when i'm done--every single i'm i'm like "crap i should slow down"...

Do you put your fork down in between every bite? I used to eat really fast and getting into that habit has helped a lot!

Georgia---have you already had dinner? ???????? or are you projecting what you will have?

No, I had not had dinner yet. I would be starving if I ate that early, lol. I usually know what I'm going to eat in advance though. I tend to eat better if I have a plan and stick to it.

Hehehe, I gotta ask....what are naked nuggets??? The name makes me giggle!!

I giggled too. :thumbup: Georgia, I really love to see what you and BlooeyeZ eat everyday. I don't like to cook, so I'm not very creative as you can see what I eat. You should see me in the grocery store trying to find some of the things you all eat. I still cannot find "greek yogurt" yet. I live in a small town and a lot of the foods I can't find.:sad:

Today

B- coffee, 1 boiled egg and 3 slices of bacon

L- 2oz tuna, 1tsp low fat mayo, 1 tsp relish, (it was that tuna in a kit) and 6 wheat crackers

S- The last of the nut mix (almonds, raisins, brazil nut and peunuts)

D- 2 chicken strips (1 came back up:mad:) so I'm having yogurt and cottage cheese (2 ozs ea)

I just found greek yogurt. I live in a relatively small town too and the Walmart here just started carrying a greek yogurt. I grab them up everytime I go in because there usually isn't very many in stock, lol. I love getting ideas from this thread!!

Georgia Girl,

They are chicken nuggets without the breading.I picked them up at costco and they are called naked nuggets...

LOL, okay....that makes sense. Is the meat processed, like a real chicken nugget? If so, that would be really good, especially on days I can't handle a lot of meat. Does it go down with no problem for you?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
