Had a few leftover vegetables to use up before they went to God (or the bin) so decided to make a 4 egg omelette. Celery, capsicum, tomatoes & cheese. It split when I was flipping it so looks a bit messy. Had half for lunch yesterday & will have the other half tonight.

Mr. felt for French Toast so we went to one of our fave coffee places for Breakfast (at like 8am! which is weird cuz we don't eat breakfast lol)

I ordered a Shrimp Cake Benny and had like half of one and a bite or two of the potatoes and salad: calculated 322 cals for what i ate.

He got his french toast (see the bottom pic), and ate it all plus my leftovers. I am honestly amazed at how much the guy can eat and remain normal sized 😳

...also!

Interesting eating strategy i discovered:

For those who have challenges with slowing down their eating, eat with your non-dominant hand!

I am nursing an injured arm (its in a sling), and i have to eat with my left hand (im right handed). And man does it ever slow things way down. I probably also ate less than i normally would cuz i think i just got tired of the process.

I'm always surprised how little some of you people seem to eat. Like one of my meals is more than others are eating in a day??

😕

well, i DO eat "little" at one time/sitting, but i eat these little meals like 5-6 times a day so i figure it all adds up?

its not that im trying to eat less, i just get full quickly. and i HATE the feeling of being full (its very physically uncomfortable for me...)

Yeah, I stopped looking at this thread because I always feel like I am eating way too much seeing how little some people eat before feeling full. But then I compare what I eat to what other non-surgically enhanced people eat and i think ok I don't eat that much really

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
