You are planning your food! That is not bad! As soon as you get the sandwich cut it in 4ths. Wrap up 1/4 to take home and then enjoy every single bite of the other 1/4. Eat it slowly and savor every single wonderful flavor - even the rye bread! See this as a liberating experience and a sign of how far you have come. What a difference from gobbling the whole thing to slowly savoring 1/4th! This is what eating should be about - enjoying the "normal" portion and eating with "normal" control. It is a victory!!!!!

Buying clothes in a size small and not even trying them on because I know they'll fit. LOL Woot! No longer suffering from pseudo tumor cerebri! Can't wait to do roller coasters again next summer and wear a bikini. Also just generally way more active.

Im amazed you were able to keep it down - Im out 6 months and will tose up a roll or hotdog bun with ease - I doubt you did in long term damage, Like stated above its a journey and there is some big ass bumps in the road - we all have been there

I agree with AJ, if you can't get the support you need at home, get it here. We are all here for you!

Pho broth was a lifesaver for me.

Wow! I have acid reflux and burning everyday. I have started iv infusions and d3 shots because of not being able to do vitamins. I have passed out from low magnesium and blood pressure Twice been in hospital. I wish I could have my old life back. Have u been week from no vitamins?

Yep. I included avocado from the beginning. And later grape tomatoes. They are my "treat" after protein and veg is done. But even now, I limit them to 1oz each by weight on a scale. They are total slider foods and measure about 1/4c by volume. At first I only did 1/2oz avocado. You def need to make it fit within your calorie window. I used it as my fat for the meal.

Thank you @Orchids&Dragons I need to avoid slider foods because those calories can sneak in..Or at least just stay verrrry aware, lol.

@nice1 I just got out of surgery today. I had all kinds of emotions pre-surgery bad and good. I was a nervous wreck. Now I'm done and feel so much better about my decision.Good Luck to you.[emoji103] Sent from my LM-X420 using BariatricPal mobile app
