I'm eating pretty much whatever I want. I ate with the family on Easter. I had ham, mashed potatoes, corn, creamed spinach. VERY little amounts of each. My 5 year old ate way more than I did. Most days I'll have a Greek yogurt or a scrambled egg for breakfast, some soup or chili for lunch, and whatever I want for dinner. Maybe some salmon, chicken. Last night I ate some turkey and cheese from the inside of a sub my family was eating. I even ate 3/4 of a soft taco from Taco Bell one night. I know I'm full when I start getting an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and feel like I either need to burp or take a drink to get it down. That's my cue to stop.

I was sleeved on the 8th, and have no issue eating. As long as I eat slowly and chew my food thoroughly, I've been able to handle everything I've tried. If I eat too fast or too much, I get an uncomfortable feeling in my chest, but that's my sign to stop. I haven't felt nauseous. I'm sorry you're having trouble.

I make a dish by cooking up some spaghetti squash, then sauteing it with some garlic, then I add some frozen stir-fry vegetables, imitation crab and shrimp. I'm not sure the actual nutritional values of it, but it is delicious. It is like a seafood pasta, but with spaghetti squash instead of pasta.

Anyone who is already a member can add someone. You don't need to add each other as friends if you use an email address.

I have sent you an invitation, futuresleever

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, Beby, where did you get this info?

I understand real, not processed food is the answer. I'm just questioning the nutritionists recommendations of low fat and sugar free things. Not just my nutritionist, I've seen many people told to eat sugar-free Popsicles and sugar-free Jell-O in the early stages, and was questioning the amount of artificial sweeteners and chemicals in those products. Of course it is always better to eat things that you know the ingredients of, but that wasn't the point of my question.

I won't be on a computer until tomorrow. Can someone who is already a member of the group add her? There is a place toward the top of the group to invite someone by email. Thanks!

I agree, I'd prefer to eat real foods, was just puzzled at the recommendations because they go against everything I've been told before.

I honestly have no idea how it will show up. Does it appear on the left side of your Facebook, under Groups? I tried inviting you again, but it said an invitation has already been sent to the person you are trying to invite. I'm not sure, but if you gave me a different email address than the one you used to sign up for Facebook, maybe that could be the issue?

That's putting it mildly! Haha Seriously, no problem, I wouldn't have taken it on if I wasn't willing to deal with the chaos.

OK, I think I'm all caught up with the Facebook page invites. If I missed you, I apologize, just contact me and I'll get you invited.

Yes, it is private, no one can see your posts. You can't even find the group in a search, you have to be invited in.

I added you to the group. Those of you giving me email addresses will have to wait until tomorrow to be added, I can't add using email addresses from my ipad for some reason.

It is private, that's why you can't search it, and why you need to go through the steps to get invited. Anyone who is a member already can invite you.

And if you use either of these methods and I don't add you right away, it means I'm not on the computer and will do it as soon as I can.

OK, here are the directions again for those who can't find them. If you'd like to be added to the Facebook group, do one of the following: 1. Add me as a friend by following this link: https://www.facebook...ahl?ref=tn_tnmn 2. Send me a message on here with your email address and I can invite you using your email address. If you choose option 1, I will delete you as a friend once adding you to the group, unless you request otherwise.

Miss meow, that was the page I created first, then when people said they didn't want others to know I created a private group that you won't be able to find, you need to be invited to. Look up in the posts to see how to get invited.

Tim, I added you using your email address. You're the first one I'm doing this way, so let me know if it works. Thanks.

OK people, if you'd like to be added to the Facebook group, do one of the following: 1. Add me as a friend by following this link: https://www.facebook.com/joe.stahl?ref=tn_tnmn 2. Send me a message on here with your email address and I can invite you using your email address. If you choose option 1, I will delete you as a friend once adding you to the group, unless you request otherwise.

Tricie, I already added you to the group, you should be able to get in now. It should appear on the left side of your Facebook page, under Groups.

No problem, I understand completely. I'm sure I've lost a few friends over it, but it's something I'm passionate about and won't change. You can also do the email option so you don't have to friend me.

Weird, I get no results when I search for your name either. Try this: https://www.facebook.com/joe.stahl?ref=tn_tnmn

Tricie, I will be deleting the page, and sticking solely with the group. So you can either friend me on Facebook, or send me your email address so I can send you an invite to the group.
