Sensations in eating feeling unnatural and unpleasant still!
Chancie replied to LAN2k's topic in Food and Nutrition
Sweetie- Everyone is different... just as long as you "know" your full- and not over doing it.. you're ok... Listen to your body... I don't know how far out you are.. but there are times I can eat ALOT.... and then on other days.... hardely anything... a few bites of something.. and I am done. I went for chinese last week.. really hungry- got take out figuring I could have it for a few meals.. well I could only eat about 3 bites.... LITTERALLY and i took it home. there are days I just can't swallow it... or I know I will be sick. I have learned that feeling.. the way it tastes .. and I have to quit. So there really isn't a "normal"... it's what your body responds to. -
OMG....... don't turn in your "man card" There was a book out about 20 years ago ( gezzzzzzzeeeeee.. showing my age) "Real men don't eat Quiche"-but ya know what? They do!!! LOL ( It REALLY is good ) Just don't think it would be the thing to take on a hunting trip tho. Belive me when I tell ya- I liked the "man food" all too well........ ( just look at my before pic) but your new stomach will let you know how much of it you can have. But- with anything- this surgery is a "tool"- and yes... you can gain weight with any weightloss surgery... so it is a decision you have to make how much to eat etc. G'luck to you!!!

NewMom I'm so glad you're feeling better so soon.... I had to spend 5 days in the hospital because ofthe nausea and vomiting. I wouldn't wish that on anyone- it wasn't jsut from the sleeve- it was also the anestesia. I never had problems before- but I did this time- and then I also had a reaction to the pain meds they were giving me.. so a double wammy. Cnagrats to both of you AND sooooooooooo glad you are feeling better!! -
Caroyln- I bet I got 10 years not documented... or hidden behind the camera or behind a body! Kinda sad.... I have about 30 rolls of film i found and am getting about 3-4 developed a week........ my boys and I kinda like it.... "mystery Pics" found some good ones and ones that I didn't think I was that big... I WAS......... so time is deceiving... As soon as I get this computer situation fixed.. gonna have them all filed... and fill in some voids...

Hi Lan- I'm sorry you're still having troubles with eating. But like Vegas said- try to focus on what you CAN eat. It might be a bit boring if it's the same thing over and over- but you can get thru this. I was sick the first 3 months- but fortunatly I was able to drink Protein drinks- or protein shots to help with my protein intake. You had this surgery for a reason- think about what those reasons were..... (((((((((HUGS ))))))))) -
Hi Dan- Welcome to the forum! And congratulations on your decision to become healthy! I'm really glad I made the decision to go with the sleeve. But it is a personal choice- so I hope you do your research and make the right decision for you. Congrats on the 10 pounds too! Keep us posted on what you decide... and your progress!

congratulations!! That really is a wonderful thing G'ma did for you!! You're a lucky girl! As coroly said- many don't have that support system! Good for you!! And keep us posted!!

Fall and winter clothes available
Chancie replied to Bob_350lbs's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi Steph- Please forgive my lack of manners! I wanted t say thank you for sending the clothes my way. I will have to pay some forward, a few things were too big. Also- I have clothes I need to send out, but with first my car and then computer problemsn and Holidays in retail... I'm run a bit ragged!! lol I promise I will get things out after Thanksgiving. -
My Christmas goal is to be 180:lol0:ok ok ok 190!! I want to sit down with my boys, eat dinner and do it "normally" Not have that gorged feeling...to be able to talk and visit and not focus soley on the food. Play rock band and alaugh alot 'cause I stink at it... but have fun!! Get back to basic.......in my job, my exercising,my life...... Take plenty of pictures this year... and not be "hiding" behind someone. I want to contact old friends that I have let slip away because of my obesity- people quit asking after awhile..... I want to face my fears, and not be fears anymore.... I would love to meet some of my friends here! I could go on... but will stop here...

I really can't answer your question.... I don't snack. In fact we had a food drive at work and I had some popcorn that I gave away. Someone should come along and help you out with your question tho.
-
Ha........ I thought this was kinda funny for my situation, since thats what I really liked to eat PRE-sleeve....... MAN food ( as you referred to it ) lol I was a meat and tators kinda gal- LARGE quantities...But since my sleeve- my thinking has changed, I'm 9 months out and can just about eat anything,.. but I don't even want a steak. Have had one, maybe two- but not much of it. My taste has changed along with my thinking. It's a conscience decision every day. You really don't want to go back to bad habits after going thru this do you? I have had chicken wings, don't even want a burger-havn't had one, BBQ made me ill- and I have had fried chicken, but prefer grilled. You'll be quite surprised at the difference this surgery does to your eating... especially since like me- you said you were a volume eater

WOW Ash Isn't that A GREAT NSV Moment!! I bet you were grinning from ear to ear!! I LOVE hearing these stories! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Joann!! Welcome to the losers side and so glad to hear things are going well for you!! It just gets better and better! I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving
-
Yes- this is very normal- and you'll also find that things you once loved, now not so much and vise versa. Just take your time and introduce new foods slow- and if they don;t agree with you, try again in a month. G'luck and keep us posted on your progress!
-
Hey sweetie!! Yep- the "head" games we play are are worst enemy- just gotta take it day by day and face our fears. Glad you're doing better! Keep up the good work!
