Recommended Posts

vent away - i might have been odd man out, but i had to have 8 fills (8.5ccs) before i got restriction.....it was a LONG wait, so i understand!!

It's reassuring to know that I am not the only odd man out when it comes to not having much restriction in the beginning. Thanks.

Well, I've had 1 fill - 4cc in 10cc band. I feel a bit of restriction but I cannot believe how little you guys are eating. Do you feel full or just decide thats all you're going to eat? I guess I am anxious to eat less but kinda scared too - it goes so much against what I've been taught to do - you know food groups, fruit, veggies , meat for a meal. That kind of thing. Breakfast yesterday - 2 toast thinly sliced (homemade bread) with p butter, snack - sliced peaches, yog and a few nuts, lunch - 1 slice pizza ( my boss buys pizza lunch for everyone, last thurs of every month) snack - repeat peaches, yogurt, and supper - french onion Soup and 1/2 grilled cheese. Whoa - when I write it down and look at it, this is a lot of food!!. So do I consciously look at portions here or when I have better restriction this will take care of itself. BTW, I am hungry for this - no force feeding necessary. Please help.

both,:tongue2: i'd start journaling & measuring your food @ each meal. i find if i'm not eating at home & can measure, i will eat more. i use my measuring cups as my serving spoons & use a salad plate most times.

once you get restriction this will be a LOT easier & you definitely won't be able to eat that much bread:tongue:

good luck to you!!!!

I bought some hummas yesterday. I have always wanted to try it and it really doesn't taste bad. I never knew what I could eat with it. Thanks for the ideas. I think there is a post on here about it.

Hey everybody! I haven't posted here in a while... But I wanted to say that I have been reading a lot of your posts and they have really inspired me to keep better track of what I'm eating. So I have started a food journal; I am going to plan out my meals the night before when I'm not hungry :thumbup: and I'm determined to stick to them. Today was my first day...

()=calories

Breakfast: 1/2c cottage cheese and 1/2c lite peaches, rinsed (170)Snack: 1 hard boiled egg and 1/4c trail mix (both= 190)

Lunch: 1/2c tuna with 1/2 tbsp of mayo (185)

Snack: 10 cheddar mini rice cakes (85) YUM!

Dinner: Not sure, My wonderful boyfriend is making dinner... :) Probably grilled chicken or beef and veggies...

Total calories so far today:630 so that leaves me about 570 calories for dinner. I aiming for 1200 calories a day.

How am I doing so far? Today was easy, the hard part is sticking to this plan...

That sounds like a great start! Maybe I should keep track of calories also. I do know that when I keep a food journal I notice when I 'm having too many Snacks. That was a problem for me!! I still allow healthy snacks still. Good Luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
