I’m 7 months out and 120 pounds down, I have been sitting at this weight , up and down a few pounds, for roughly 2 weeks now, the thing is I really don’t eat much but now that I can it’s hard to put things down when I start to get full, until it’s too late and I feel like crap, has anyone gotten to this point?

How many calories and how much Protein do you plan to eat each day? If generally you aren't eating enough you are more likely to eat more than you had intended when you do eat.

I'm not to that point yet with my surgery, but it sounds like you continue to eat out of pleasure or habit. (Habit is bad, pleasure is human :)). There are a few tricks to help beat the habit. Most of these are from my old WW days.

If you're at a restaurant, ask for a to-go box at the start and put your "leftovers" in it before you start eating. Out-of-sight, out-of-mind. Do not go back into the box at the restaurant. If you're out with others and don't want to go the "box" route, once you've eaten enough, surreptitiously over-salt what's left on your plate so that it's inedible. That will stop you from picking at the food while the conversation goes on or while others continue to eat.

If you're eating at home: Do NOT put serving bowls on the table. Serve from the stove, use a small plate and don't go back. After you eat your plateful, go brush your teeth. Food tastes terrible after you brush your teeth.

Find some sort of ritual to formally "end" your meal. It can be a small dessert, a cigarette (if you smoke), etc. It has to be something you look forward to.

I'm sure others will have more suggestions (which I will be following), but I hope this helps!

And congrats on your success so far!

Yes! I'm having the same result. I'm afraid my surgery is not working anymore.

Well the surgery is just a tool. Consistently practice good eating habits and exercise and don't think about the surgery. Make good decisions when eating and drinking and make sure you're getting enough hydration. The loss will start up again!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
