I'm still having trouble with this!!

I opted for the sleeve bc I was never a "sweets", carb person but I could EAT...alot. a "volumous" eater, I used to joke. lol

however, its not funny anymore... although I do eat healthily, avoiding carby, doughy, sweety (anything I basically should be). I feel that I am able to eat TOO much of anything.. I have a food scale & containers w measurements of what I should be eating, but I have yet to put them to use..

I rem learning that if you "eat properly" (we all know Protein 1st) the sleeve will do its job!

I just feel like I am able to consume too much @ one sitting, therefore my calories are prob through the roof.

what I ate today, really most days..

2 (medium) fried eggs, 2 small saug patties 1/2 dollar size..

lunch was rotessire chicken & salad w feta, toms and organic dressing.. dinner will prob be more of the same

did I weigh/measure anything?? nooo... so I'm sabotaging myself :( ugh

I can't eat two eggs. One is my limit. I don't weigh anything, though I do measure when I can. I'm not super diligent about it, I can now visualize how much I can eat--it's not much at all. I use smaller plates too.

You know what you need to do, so I'm not going to repeat it. My scale is my friend. However, consider giving yourself a "reboot" and do a week of liquids. That might get you back on track.

At christmas i purchased some new pryex on sale. At first when i got them, i thought what the heck am i going to do with these tiny 1 cup bowls. Well, turns out they will be perfect for my Portion Control when i can't weigh. Perhaps get yourself some small containers, measure out your meals a bit to see what ones they fit in and at least you will always have a guide by using the same containers for your meals.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
