learningintuition

Don't look at my progress as an example I was done back in 2011 and Dr. Alvarez and his team were wonderful. Hubby went and we felt very safe, comfortable and cared for.

I'm down near Galveston (I know its far ) but I could use a buddy myself. I can tell you what NOT to do And I would love to hear a fresh perspective.

You can do this. Good luck getting back on track and back in the swing with your tool

congrats congrats congrats!

awesome! thanks!

That's an awesome change! congrats!!!

ya! good work, both of you!!!

I feel you. I've stopped losing at 31 lbs and I wrote my nutritionist, will go back to group sat and will start exercising..but I have the fantasy too. Hugs.

mine has group on mondays, tues and sats and events...I will be going this sat.

I used Dr. Vuong. I loooove him. it's worth the money

i was just going to post something similar. I'm finding now that I feel hunger and thirst the same way--a burning in my stomach. so now i'm drinking drinking drinking. I'm trying to do just the 3 and no bored eating. So you're not alone

Hey ladies, just giving a shout out that I'm here.....back to reading everyone's posts.

Just went over this with my doc in group today. Protein: Broccoli, quinoa, fish, chicken, beef, eggs, dairy, beans. Whole grains have some incomplete proteins. I drink as i eat, and i wake up and go to sleep drinking. I drink during the 5 hour lapses between the 3 meals.

My drugs were good. i woke up thinking I was still waiting for the doc! So I didn't have any type of tube memory!

Yes! Mine came on right after, and it wasn't even time! So yeah!

Eureka-C is right. You can do this. Just take your time. it's done and not reversable so just keep movin! it gets better soon.

Okay, they offered them at 35 bucks but I've never been a vitamin person. Are any of you guys on the post-gastric surgery vitamin? Does it help you any?

Every time I eat I can only get 1/4 of a cup of whatever down. I feel like I'm not getting my calories so I sip Protein drinks during the day. I had some spicy food and it's made my stomach sensitive. So today all I wanted was icecream. I 'm tired of eating. I'm tired of finding things to fill my pouch and the slight discomfort. I know I'm learning my body but I just wish I could get a break from the work.....I'm just venting. I know if I dont' get all my cals, I'll stall...I'm just tired of thinking about it.

yes, I'm learning that the process of eating is SLOWWWWW...I'm not used to it either. I put some babyfood meat into potato Soup and blended it...it was okay....any meat I eat or anys olids have to be very liquidy (sauce on it etc.)

Ah....so my body was telling me something. I had a shake for dinner with the optifast from before. and my body loved it...no pain or pressure. slow slips and I know I go cals. ya!

I know that my NUT said max around 800. But I had another woman who was eating 300 to 400 and she stalled. She increased and then lost. I'm confused too.

Congrats Cinderella!

So I'm about 20 lbs down already. My life has changed. No more puffy bloatedness when i wake up in the morning. No more sore feet in the morning when I wake up and try to walk. No more adjusting my belt and pulling my restrictive undergarment over my stomach roll. Today I ate at a restaurant and had my first peice of toast, eggs and grits. I HAD to drink Water the whole time, helped it go down. So I'm learning. I'm very thankful.

dont forget whipped cream...and jello.....Happy bday!

Omigosh! I was coming to say the same thing! I had fish for lunch and it was "okay" wasn't really tasty. So I finished and ate some rice. I know my stomach was full. I started to have head hunger and I wanted a peice of bignets. I don't know what I was thinking. I felt it get stuck and I had just enough time to make it to the restroom. My stomach was full and didn't want any more I have to chew and wait now too. It's like "are you full now belly?" but I just pushed too far. We'll get used to it.
