Visiting some friends over the weekend that I haven't seen in 4 years. They are totally stressing about what food to have in the house for me. Mind you, I am still on puree due to my ulcer. I keep assuring them not to stress and that I'm bringing my shake mix and some ham salad but they don't believe that's enough. lol! Seriously, dudes. It is. They have NO concept as to how little I eat. I was like "if you NEED to get me food, get me a can of green Beans. it'll last me 4 days." lol!

I mentioned to my best friend yesterday how I had 3oz of chicken breast and a few slices of cooked zucchini (against doctor's orders, I know) and was SO FULL (I got foamies) and she was like "there's something wrong! that's too little!" No it's issssnnn'tttt. No one gets it.

Visiting my grandmother on Xmas and plan on just nibbling my ham salad and maybe some dip. That side of my family has always been obese, except my father who is rail thin oddly, and they eat A TON at a time.... so it is going to be one. interesting. experience. I am now tiny nibble lady.

Good for you. LOL. Now I'ma spank you...3oz of meat at one sitting is too much for you right now. Dial back your jets to 1oz Protein + 1oz well cooked veg and chew until it's puree. Make sure whatevs you eat is smashable/mashable with a fork, then chew to wallpaper paste. :)

6-7oz by volume or weight? At 6 weeks seems very aggressive to me. Even my massive tum only did 1/2c of food at 6 weeks. :) That's only 4oz by volume. And in the early days most food is figured in volume rather than by weight.

Like I was told to get a food scale. Measures by weight and has a bowl for liquids for volume.

But regardless, I'm nowhere near that. Even if I was allowed it... I can't stomach more than 3oz of anything at this point. I do do a yogurt and can do 4oz of cottage cheese. Nothing else though.

I seriously spent way too long googling volume versus weight. I am just assuming liquids are volume and dense stuff is weight. Unless it's in between, like puree or cottage cheese. Then either works. HA. Science.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
