No game

IM NEVER HUNGRY!!! Hehehe....

Yep that's all we can do is keep our eyes open and talk about it here and with a counselor. I also talk to my husband about it. It's helped so much because part of having this surgery was also coming clean to him about my eating habits. How food me feel, how I think about food and most importantly is the fact that I ate alone. I would "steal" food from our cupboards and eat it when I was alone. Sometimes I would sneak into another room and eat it really quick I mean stuff it in my mouth... A hard thing to admit to, but true. We CAN do this though. We have to just keep working and learning

I wrote this on another thread about "always thinking of food" but it fits here also... Yes I think it's disconcerting to be thinking about food still. And as you know I still do. Having this surgery has you thinking about it naturally because of the timing and amounts of food figure into your daily life even more now. But as a food addict, it's more than just timing and measuring of food that consume me at times. I still, even though I don't... think about eating all the time. Is it because I have a tendency to have obsessive thoughts and actions (OCD diagnosed and runs in my family) I've thought about the oral fixation I have too, I mean literally oral! it's my mouth, I feel the "need" To have something in there (no wise ass joke men please) at all waking moments. Like I said on the other thread... I still go to bed thinking about food and wake up thinking about food. Am I destined to fail? Depends on what I do with it. My eyes are wide open and I will continue to learn about my complicated self. As always my name is Laura and I am a food addict and a work in progress.

I think your friend has some serious issues with self esteem loneliness and perhaps jealousy that it was you he "talked". As for him? I wouldn't give him a second thought he is nothing to you in your life. Not even worth being upset with. I don't know how well you know your friend but she sounds lost and defeated

It doesn't work for me either.. it may for some but I know myself and its just better to stay the course. There are several schools of thoughts here and I admire those who can eat anything but just smaller amounts. But truthfully certain foods are just triggers to me. Maybe one day I can... I don't know... But not now. And the fact of the matter feeling healthy right now is top priority. I think about being off of my meds and being able to keep up with my family. Eye on the prize girlie! Easier said than done somedays but we got to keep fighting for it

Are you guys actually arguing about a scum bag with a horrible pick up line to you, a married woman??? I don't get it? I mean I read the last thing (he is gross) but your friend is grosser for defending his position and WTF does it matter what he said or how he said it?? you are married?

It's hard sometimes, but I try not to keep to much junk here to tempt me. But the reality is that I live with normal weighted people and nights like tonight are pizza Tuesday. I eat my dinner while its cooking so I won't be tempted. Now some people just say eat it in moderation. But really that doesn't work for me and I don't "need" pizza once a week

I'm 7+ months now. Today I measured out 4oz of chicken and ate 3 1/2 oz before I got really full I still get full on a shake or a Fage Greek yogurt You need to know it also depends on the food. The above things I mentioned are Protein. But if I were to eat processed or junk type foods like chips or Cookies watch out! So I try to stay away from those things. Last week was my birthday and I ate a piece of apple pie no problem....

Lol not anymore!!! But in the early stages and just starting purée yes. And even if you don't "feel" full in the beginning it's really important to measure and stay there because the stomach doesn't always have full sensation back by that time.

As long as you are following the drs diet plan thats all you can do. My weight fluctuates a bit day by day so don't let one scale reading depress you. Make sure you are drinking lots of water it's just as important before surgery as it is after surgery.

Just measure! 1/4 cup. you can purée meatloaf with gravy or a meatball. I even did chicken and gravy and ate them all with glee just to have "real" warm food was so good. Yes also chili or refried beans

I did the magic bullet and quite honestly only really used it in the purée stage. It worked pretty well even with chicken and gravy. Nowadays only my son uses it to make his fruit smoothie concoctions. 49.99 at target...

Ok it's been pretty easy today! I shopped all day! it's 5pm and I've had 157 calories for lunch so dinner before 7 will be a feast! Water is great today already at 70+ ounces

I wonder of we should all stop at a mom and pop bakery this week to show our support?

Hey girls how goes everyone's Tuesday? I'm having my first meal (I wanted to wait until I finished my workout) Having my chicken, cole slaw mix and I dug some rice vinegar out from the cupboard and tried it, all I had was some olive oil so I tried that with it and a pinch of salt and pepper Not bad!! Yes I'll eat anything

f**ker! Lol!!!!!

Ok checking in... I'm STILL doing week one. I'm still thanking the blue skies above every time the 30 minutes are up and I'm still alive and kicking.

No the big box stores are just starting to take over. One stop shopping, a case of toilet paper and a case of baked goods all conveniently located...
