Hey y'all. Hope your Saturday is going swell. I've done laundry, dealt with a 4 year old tantrum, re-did my budget, and made some dinner. Quite a normal day I guess. Dinner was awesome. If I had my regular stomach I would've eaten more. Lol. Lemony Quinoa with spinach feta and Beans. So good! And so easy. Found it on Pinterest of course.

I was curious given how my week has gone...felt awful, bloated, tired, Etc. so I weighed myself this morning. I lost two lbs. it just gave me a pep in my step, that I needed. I probably won't weigh again though until my next appt. But I have decided that if there's another challenge after the Sail one, I'll do it. Ileven if it means I have to weigh in. I think I need more accountability. My local group that I helped started only meets once a month. I need stuff for in between. BP is my main though. I need to be here daily.

Anyway, enjoy the pic of my dinner!

I wish I could eat this right now lol. My mouth is watering.

Congrats on losing 2 pounds this week @Newme17. That is awesome☺️

I am averaging 1-1.5 lately with 10 days of no loss in between. I am fine with that.

I really wish we all lived closer so we could meet up and support each other. You all keep me motivated and I thank you!!

I was 183 this morning so 25 lbs down since surgery. ?

Yes we are!!!

I'm still having a hard time eating. Is there anyone having the same problem?

Today was a busy day of nothing at work. Lol. It wasn't until I got off work that it truly became busy. Went home and cleaned out my daughters room (they won't even know what was thrown or given away). Decided to make a new recipe for dinner. These days every dinner is a new recipe. I'm loving it. So, today's is Roasted Teriyaki Mushrooms and Broccolini Noodles. I substituted the soba noodles with fettuccine, cause I didn't have any. Now, I'm am not a pasta fan. AT ALL. I have always passed it up. I'd make spaghetti for the family and I'd eat something else. That was pre-op. I still feel the same way. Anyway, I took a pic of my food. It was soooooo good. Tasted like high quality restaurant food. Yum. My whole family ate it up...well the girls picked out the pasta.

And guess what was left? The pasta! Lol

Is it specific foods or textures or everything you're having a hard time with? I still don't eat more than about 2 ounces every time I do. Maybe I've done it one of the times I felt like I overdid it with one bite, but it's hard. Have you called your doc for some info?

The only issue I have with eating is when I forget and eat too fast. I end up with this tightness in my chest and I have to walk around for a few minutes. I have been trying very hard to avoid this.

what exactly has been your problems? Have you talked with your doctor about it?
