Thanks again!!

I try to log calories but because I sometimes can't finish food, or my restriction is more/less some days, I find that I don't think the calories I log are very accurate! I know I will get used to it all as time goes on.

Early on when I did not finish all my food, I would weigh what was left and subtract it.

Breakfast

Weekday: 2% Cottage cheese

Weekend: 2 scrambled eggs with either 2 pieces of sausage or some cheese

Weekday: Usually left overs, sometimes deli meat/cheese roll ups. This week I'm trying out Quest Protein bars.

Weekend: Something home cooked, chicken/fish/beef. Started adding some broccoli with my regular meals.

Weekday: Home cooked chicken/fish/beef with some broccoli. Sometimes this will be left overs from the weekend.

Awesome! Some people are so super strict - I wish I was. I am not slacking off, but I certainly can't stomach a lot of Protein, and cottage cheese, ughh!

I normally use half and half but the grocery store around the corner was out so I got heavy whipping cream. I have been way under on calories for days so this was a day I was trying to hit my calorie goal. If I don't eat enough calories, I don't lose. This was over the weekend.

Could you please let me know what app you're using? Thanks.

The one thing I have learned with my sleeve is, if I don't eat something then I have a hard time with. It almost seems like you have to use/exercise your sleeve.

I can tolerate dense Protein because I eat it every day. If I am not feeling well for a couple days and I don't eat much of anything, like just have Protein shakes to get by, when I start eating again, I have to start all over. Building myself back up to how many ounces of protein I can have at a time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
