Congrats on breaking the plateau! I try not to eat after dinner but I too have those days where I am always hungry! I find that protein is the only thing that helps me too. A few slices of turkey or chicken usually help.
Thanks for your post!! I sometimes feel guilty about doing this but I have been good about distinguishing between head hunger and real hungry. Lately...it's definitley been real!

Thought for the week ...
Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday.
I love that. I may adopt the same daily mantra! Thanks for sharing.

I think we all have very high expectations, especially in the early months. But your doing well....very well. 2lbs a week is really all you can ask for at this point.
Congrats!

I recently went somewhere to eat and they brought out complimentary french fries and for a split second I thought..."well if it's free then I don't have the log the calories". I quickly laughed at how my brain works hard trying to keep me fat and tossed the fries after all.

This is great news. It's amazing what happens when I actually pay attention to my body!

Yes it is an emotional journey. I promise you will look back and be grateful you had some time to get used to the idea if WLS. It took me 10 months to get banded from my initial exciting consulatation with my surgeon. In that 10 months...I cried, I beat myself up that I got so fat, I convinved myself I had no self control, I was excited, felt guilty, etc. etc. etc. But even with all those emotions....I started to learn to eat slower....take small bites.....chew my food....drink more water. I cherish those 10 months before the band. Because when the surgery finally got here....I was more ready than I was ever going to be!
Be kind to yourself.....use this as a chance to slow your eating down...take smaller bites.....chew your food (regardless of what your eating or how much)!
Sending good thoughts your way today!

I have been there myself. But I am not sure that I even realized that's why I was uninterested in attending. I commend you on your awareness of this. Looking back on the times I declined something....it was all about how uncomfortable I felt in my body and what would I wear that didn't make me look like 1000lbs.
I will send good energy your way for a speedy approval. Keep your chin up and be nice to yourself.

Thank you for the summary of your visit. This was very helpful.
My weight loss has stalled as well. I have bargained with myself to put the scale away for now. Now I just need to do it.

Thank you for sharing this. I agree with the "stinkin thinkin" for fat people. What a nasty cycle. We are our own worst enemies. Congrats on all your successes......you are truly an inspiration for us newbies.

Congrats on being banded. They never promised us it would be easy...just worth it.

Wow! I am on Day 12 of pre-op and really, really needed to read this today! Feeling sorry for myself why? The reality is..I'm not starving. My body is getting the protein and fuel it needs. Is it uncomfortable....yes! But people endure so much more and live to talk about it.
Thank you for this!! Good luck....your journey will be worth it! My surgery is scheduled for Thursday...and I am thrilled!

Woot, woot! Now that I know you teach nutrition...I am blowing up your inbox!! Just kidding. I am sorry you were pushed to ever write this post. I agree.....if one is upset about someone's post......it's time to do some internal inventory and figure out why.

This is exactley why I am doing this. To regain control...not to be in a bikini by summer. For the long haul...thanks for the post.

I have been practicing with both. I like the chop stix for some things and the baby spoon for others. Your breakfast sounded delicious by the way.

I am certain we have all encountered all of this! I agree with you and applaud your honesty.
I just keep telling myself that what works for one doesn't always work for me...and this is my journey and not someone else's. I take what I think can apply to me...and I leave the rest!
You are a great source of inspiration for us newbies...please keep posting and shedding light on the day to day trials and tribulations!
Thank you!
