First thing you ate when you were cleared for normal food



Recommended Posts

I got cleared yesterday for regular food. I had some large shrimp from Whole Foods. My eyes were bigger than my stomach putting 6 on my plate. I managed to get down 4 and didnt think twice about even attempting the last 2. The cocktail sauce was INTENSE and I almost fell over in the chair the first bite.

I am very concerned with what happens now that I am cleared I want to keep losing like I have been since I am just under half way to my goal. I will never make the best choices but I dont graze and I listen to my body on Portion Control.

A system I used with the band was if you think you're hungry or want to eat drink Water, lots of it or hot tea. Tell yourself you can eat but just not right now. It is all about delay and not deny. The best taste is the first 2 bites, the rest you really don't enjoy, so savor the food, only treat yourself to the best. You deserve only the best food and no more mindless eating.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
