How did it go.

I've definitely had "omg i'm starving" hunger feelings, but 4 oz of protein nipped that in the bud. So thankful that I don't need a huge meal to feel full anymore. Let us know how you feel after you have a little protein

I will! How many calories are you taking in per day? I feel like I was high today at around 700 (I've met my protein goals), but still hungry. Blerg.

My estimate for the rest of the day, including dinner, is about 850. Here's a pic of my food diary from today!

So, as it turns out, I made some chicken with veggies in tikka masala sauce, and I measured out my 4oz and got all excited, dug in... and ate ONE PIECE of chicken. Like, three bites. FULL. Loving this wacky weight loss journey

Had a couple spoons of Peanut Butter and went to bed early. Woke up feeling healthy and happy.

I just went to my soft foods class yesterday and I was surprised they had peanut butter on the "no" list - even for soft foods. They said it is too sticky and get stuck. In the past couple weeks, I have used the powdered peanut butter and mixed it with fairlife milk to give me the peanut butter fix. It is not as sticky as real peanut butter, and did not give me any issues thankfully. You can also mix the powder in about anything to get the fix. The nutritionist recommended the powder as well. My wife made sugar free vanilla pudding and put some of the peanut butter powder in it - it came out like peanut butter pudding - very yummy!

Is this an app you are using or a website for tracking?

It's both! That's MyFitnessPal--there's both an app and a web-based version.

Thanks. I am finding the need to track my protein intake now that I am transitioning to soft foods and not so easy to just add up the Premiere Proteins for the day through my drinking app.

Absolutely--even the basic version shows you the macros of the food that you're logging. You can scan barcodes easily, and it's just a really great tool. They offer challenges and coupons, and it's another really great support system community over there as well.

What app are you talking about

My Fitness Pal - allows you to easily track food/drink/excercise - put out there by UnderAmour. It is free, or you can pay $9/month for premium (or $99/year).

Thanks bunches

Hey everyone I got sleeved 11/21 and I'm about 16 days post op. So far it's going good .. just started the soft foods stage. I'm down 25 pounds since surgery

Me weight is stalling a bit but I'm not too worried about it. Still on pureed food until next Wednesday and I'm sure I'll see the scale move even more once I'm back on soft solid foods. Feeling pretty good other than some nausea and dizziness last night. Had a couple spoons of peanut butter and went to bed early. Woke up feeling healthy and happy.
Cheers!

What APP are you using to record your food?

Surgery date was 11/15/17 in Mexico. Had a great recovery. Got home, did not feel like eating much and honestly still don't. Delicious smelling food is tempting but I just remind myself of the sick feeling I have when I try to push the limits of foods and it takes all the fun out of eating for me. But I suppose that's why I signed up for this, to break my old eating habits and be more realistic when eating as opposed to eating only for fun. I have lost a total of 30 lbs since the start of my fasting period pre-op! Along with 2 to 3 inches all over my body. I have gone through a couple days of no weight loss, then all of the sudden 3 days later after changing nothing, I will drop 3 lbs. My advice is keep thorough track of your weight and inches, and pictures. When you take weekly pictures and measurements, it reminds you why you are doing this. its hard to see the changes when you are so close to the situation, but easier to see the results when you have side by sides to compare. Good luck to everyone getting it done. I'm very happy I've made this decision in my life and hope you all end up feeling the same!
