So I am 6 weeks post. And I feel super normal. Like, according to my Dr. I should be still not able to eat much, not be able to handle carbs or sugars. But NOPE. I can eat whatever within reason... still get that full feeling and when eating too fast can overeat and get that gross pain feeling.

Anyways, I am now capping my calorie intake to 1000 because if I don't watch it, those slider foods/grazing can definitely sneak my calories higher than that.

Not that I'm complaining too much. I'm down 59lbs as of today. Which is awesome. But I am a little jealous of those who still have zero desire for food or that still have those "danger zone" foods that the stomach doesn't like. Let the mental games begin...

Oh my Lord go troll somewhere else. If you don't like this post than go away. This is childish to sit here and respond over and over throwing stones. It's your personality that's being reflected here not his. Find another post to hijack.. you made your point here, no one cares!!

Wow I seriously wasn't trolling! Just explaining what my guesses were based on. Look at my post history and you will find I am quite helpful and share lots of information and support.

Again shows you can't read tone of voice.

And if you'd rather jump to conclusions without knowing anything about me, even about what I post on this message board, then BLOCK ME. Instructions are above.

Each thread on here is for the whole group and all the hundreds of lurkers and the hundreds who will come later, to learn from. No one owns a thread.

I own it. Bought the copyrights to make the movie.

Honestly @jess9395, time to move on and concern yourself else where.

Jess has been here a long time and is well respected...

Jess for me has been one of the nicest and positive posters on this Site since I've been around. I don't like to see my friends abused. Everyone just chill out.

I'm not sure who is reading what, but there is no abuse... and half my posts come tongue in cheek. Lighten up.

Jess is friendly and I have zero issue with her even though she made a ton of assumptions earlier in this thread that were completely absurd and out of line.

I am the same way.. can eat anything.

But, it's a great thing because we get to learn how to exist from the very beginning.

I am pretty much the same. Nothing really bothers my sleeve, but I do have restriction and I purposely don't eat more than 4-5oz at a meal depending on what I am eating. This way I am satisfied, but not over full.

@Apple1 Yea, I'm glad I'm not alone with that. However on these forums it feels that way, which is why I originally posted.

My guess is that there are many people that are the same, they just don't post. I log everything I eat in a food journal and I weigh all of my portions. It helps keep me accountable and accurate. I think we all need to do what is going to help us be successful. I have followed the advice of veterans that were successful and I know that has made a difference for me.

Yeah, the only things I haven't tolerated the taste of are protein shakes and cake and ice cream, and noodles. So.. no big loss. No dumping or vomiting, just taste preference. I think lots of people would starve without the shakes, but it just forced me to eat real food asap.

My 11 year old son caught a trout today. Ate that sucker up! (Ok, half a small one, but still...) Liked it better than preop. Do you know rainbow trout are related to salmon, and those in the wild have pink flesh?

@Berry78 Yea, shakes are my staple still. Easiest way for me to get 50g of protein.

Trouts awesome. I caught lots when I lived on the west coast. Now where I'm at we have lots of white fish like walleye, pike and perch.

I think she was referring to the person who called me a troll. And I don't think she meant the cute ones.

Have you tried the Parmesan crisps? you can buy them at Costco or make them and they are zero carbs! I eat keto so the fat doesn't prevent me from eating them.. and they are crunchy, like a replacement for chips.. also you can have pork rinds.. high protein and no carbs.. hang in there! You're doing great!!

I second the parm crisps. I'm doing keto ( or trying too very new to the program) but it's a great protein packed no carb snack that gives you crunch and salt like a chip but much better. I think just 6- 10 crisp are like 10 grams of protein.

You can also make your own with shredded cheese in the oven on parchment paper or even in the microwave. Experiment with timing. Pepperoni also makes "chips" same way. And Sargento ultra think cheese slices work too!
