Ms skinniness

I just learned another lesson yesterday. When to my in-laws, and I didn't want to eat there because my father in law was being brought home from the hospital. Other family members came and left. Our intentions were to visit and head up to Laguna Beach and have something to eat. I was so hungry that when we left the house, I told my husband that I really needed a snack. He said he wasn't hungry and grumbled a bit. But I was so hungry. I went into 7 eleven and tried to make a really good choice. My hunger and since of being deprived, I chose big bag a peanuts and a bag of Dorito's. I lost control of me. I ate a couple handfuls of peanuts and didn't feel any restriction, then ate a few Dorito's. Still no restriction. And of course, my husband was starved and kept eating peanuts. Then 30 minutes later he wanted to go get something for dinner. We got some California rolls and yes, I had head hunger, I ate the insides too. Then when I came home, I made some Chili. It was really good, but did finally reach some restriction, but too late, I was too the brim. It was back to where it was sitting in my esophagus. I hate when this happens. I know that I have had periods of deprivation because my husband doesn't admit to when he's hungry because he doesn't want to buy anything when he's out. Then I react by getting frustrated because I'm hungry and he doesn't care. It's a vicious cycle That was a double whamy. I had to ask myself how I got out of control. LOL I will always be prepared with a Protein bar in my purse. I just need the discipline to redirect myself. I hope this will get easier as time goes on. There is no reason To get to the point where I was, period. Sorry about my rant. But I think we all have things we will need to work on.

This is a fantastic NSV! I do have a question for you. When was your surgery? I remember reading something from you very recently that you had just had surgery? Maybe it was an old post? I'm feeling somewhat confused. Thanks

This is totally amazing. I just realized that I have only eaten out with people who know that I have the surgery so I can't really speculate on how I will feel. On the other hand, I would like getting some free meals though LOL. You did a terrific job! Congrats!. I do love ordering a meatball sandwhich without the bread! It looks beautiful on my plate when it comes covered with marinara sauce. I do miss eating the bread, I was such a bread lover. Now I'm fearful of even eating it. LOL

i'd be in the ER in a heart beat with shortness of breath. It's a very serious complication. I always think, "Safety first." Let us know how you doing bc we care about you.

CONGRATS! Welcome to THE BIG LOSER'S BENCH!

OMG! Celebrate your successes! That's what I'm doing. And I will continue on celebrating. I do feel bad that others are having some complications, but I'm still feeling really good about mind. :wub:

Your friends really love you alot and are trying to wrap their head around this procedure we've chosen to do. It is still frustrating to have this be the topic every time your together. I are with longer-life, change the subject or tell them in a nice way that your over the talk about the surgery your going to have. You are doing really good. I just realized that I had changed my view about food before my surgery. I was totally eating less portions and alot more happier and my transition after the surgery was relatively easy. Very grateful for this transition. Hope my belief about food stays. LOL ') Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

Just protein drinks and soup broths. Pure liquids.

When I eat salmon, I seem to loose a pound. It must be the omega 3's. I will be taking fish oil caps for now on. This has happened on 3 different occassions.

Congrats! You look fantastic! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

There are a few people on the site that have experiences similar to yours. Peacequeen would be a good one to ask. I feel that your having a horrible time with this, but it will get better, there is hope. It is depressing to go through all this and not knowing if there will be another major surgery. Please keep us informed to how your doing. We do care.

That head hunger is hard to fight! Sounds like over all your doing really great! Keep it up. Welcome back,

I would call my doctor. You are drinking a lot of fluids, and exercising. It may be time for some blood work. Let us know, we are all invested in you.

I love VS. I was so shocked when my M blouse is a little big. I highly suggest you go back and buy the 14 pants because they will fit you any day now! LOL CONGRATS!

awwww, that your feeling emotional. Exercise does help alot though and it will pass.

I only take capsules only which seem to help, but I take the when I'm drinking my protein drink.

Wow, do you have a nutritionist you can see. I wish I could help. I think you should be increasing your protein drinks to up your protein intake.

I don't believe there are limits too our sleeve. I believe it gets harder when we get closer to our goal weight, but the sleeve doesn't know any limits. I will always be Rockin my Sleeve. Never give up hope. It depends on the choices we make in eating.

Yeah! GO Heather! Kick a.......!

I'm 4.5 mo post op and still losing alot of hair . Hope it stops before I'm bald.

Thank Goodness you weren't eating cookies! That was totally a nightmare, cheating on your new lifestyle in your dreams...... LOL

You look so rad! Are you use to your new body yet? This is quite a transition! Love it! Keep Rockin that Sleeve! LOL

I am 5'6" and also have a goal of 130. Right now I'm hovering at 158. My surgery date was 10/4/11. I know it will come off, it's just becoming a little more difficult to get there. I wear 8 slacks and m to s tops. Love it! I'm looking really good right now!
