I had my fill done and the nurse said to eat the 6 oz three times a day and advance my diet now. So I came home and measured out 6 ounces in little bowls. I guess I never realized how much 6 ounces was. The piece of meat was something my husband would take in one bite. I decided for my breakfast I would eat the egg because bagles are a little hard to swollow down(but a good source of protein). For lunch I would do the 4oz of meat and 2 oz of vegs. And for supper have the full 6 oz of meat because I work evenings and want my energy.I really need to get back into the protein shakes now that I can open the container without a gag or two I really haven't been two hungry except when I have to work and get home late. More then anything its in my head because I use to eat when I get home. Bad habits die hard!!

Here I go again! My insurance requires a 6 month weight loss/education process prior to surgery. This is probably my 5th time starting this process. Years have passed between my first time registering and my restart this year in April. I am determined to follow through this time. I have continually gained weigh over the years and I am now at the point where I have to make some serious changes. Although I wish I would have lost weight over the years, I'm kinda glad I waited because I feel at peace with having the sleeve surgery and I didn't feel that way about any of the other surgeries. I'm inspired by everyone's stories and success. I'm excited but I ha know I have to stay focus. I'm ready for this life change.

Hi Everyone, As you can see from the title of this entry I finally got around to measuring myself again. Oh boy am I glad I did. I have gone down another 3 and 3/4 inches over my body. Yea! So I have lost a total of 9 and 1/2 inches off my hips. Isn't that fantastic, I am jumping up and down like a lunatic. So even though the scales haven't moved in a very long 5 weeks I am still losing inches. Not sure why the scales are not being friendly, as I am still walking, stepping, and now jogging (a little). I am eating healthily, drinking plenty of fluids but it refuses to budge! In fact I was getting a bit stressed so I put the scales away today and won't get them out again for another week, when I hope it will finally start co-operating with me. I think my body has had long enough to 'catch up' and really ought to start getting with the programme! I know lots of you have had stalls for a few weeks but has anyone gone as long as 5 weeks? If so, could you let me know how you got things moving again? I know that eventually with the small amounts I am eating and the energy I am expending it has to happen sometime but I want it yesterday!!! I also need loads of patience, so if anyone has any to spare could you please send it my way, my stock has run real low. Apart from that, things are tickety boo, (9 and 1/2 inches) Yea! Phoenix :wub:

Congratulations and wishing you success in your journey. Welcome to the group.

I wish you the best of luck. I remember the first few weeks after surgery I dopped twenty pounds, but I was so glad when I finally got to eat those soft foods.
