It was a military thing for me. I say ma'am and sir a lot. However I cuss like a sailor when I'm mad! lol Ya'll I picked up in NC but have lost that one being back in the Northwest for 7 years. I have not lost soda tho, here is pop. I'll correct that....I wasn't military my husband was. But I lived it too damn it.

I might add that I seem to eat a bit or two more than I used to....

It might be worth a try. I'd call your nut and see where they want you. But I'm with ya. I feel different all the sudden. Not sure if it's TOM or not. I didn't miss eating at all but I find lately I'm thinking about it and hungry it seems. I'm positive it head hunger right now. I still don't "feel" hungry if that makes since. I eat when I know I should. I have to pre plan my day on MFP!!

Ya That was my idea. But even that's hhhhard lol its probably mental. I cant seem to wrap my head around upping my calorie intake to lose weight. Goes against everything I have ever done. LOL But it seemed to work so far.

Yes please do ask. I'm interested in knowing there advice for you

I'm at 3 months and 700 calories too. Hmmm maybe time to write to my doctor and ask She said something to the effect that at that low of calories it's hard for our body's to sustain that few calories and loose weight. Possible that our body's will get to that starvation mode if we hold that few for so long. She liked it to doing p90x. Said its great and works but you cant do it forever. It's just not possible for out body to keep doing that routine daily and function correctly. That even the trainer has to incorporate other actives or he couldn't sustain that amount of cal burn or body. Does that make since? I understand but dang it brings me to a whole new food area and I'm comfortable here. Which is probably why I need to move on and keep learning.

It's going to be TOM for me too and I'm feeling the hunger creep up slowly. Can you increase fat and Protein more? Did they say why you need to increase calories at this point? I'm assuming I can increase all. They said at my 3 month apt that I was way to low at 700 calories and needed to be around 1000. So I'm trying to up it but seems upping comes with more carbs ect.... My day tomorrow looks pretty good carb wise but I have to sit and mess with it to get the cal and carbs where I wanna be. However upping my cals so far had broke me outta the week and half stall I was in.

That's about where I'm at. It's harder now that I've been told to up my calories. Its a struggle. It puts me in a whole new food area. I also am feeling way more hungrier today. Like I cant get enough to eat. Still only a 1/2 cup of soup's and soft stuff but I feel like I need to eat more often. I think I had to many carbs and It has had a negative effect. Upping my calories has me upping my carbs it seems.mmm Could be TOM??

So how much is everyone eating portion wise 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or a cup per meal?

Are you having your surgery there also?

Yay!! What a wonderful feeling!!! And The scale is the devil I tell ya. Clothes are the true tell tell!! Congrats woman!!! Your doing amazing!!

Woman your gonna do great!! There is always the fear of what if....your going to do amazing! In a few months you will barley remember your pre op because you will be so full of life and looking for the next adventure. Looking forward to hearing how it goes. Hang in there your life is about to change for the better for ever!

So awesome. Yu look so cute and happy! Congrats woman!!

I'm doing it now also. I know due to TOM I'm eating more carbs but I'm trying to not notice that for a few days. HA I thought my plate looked over full but couldn't eat it all and I know I measured my food to my 1/2 cup portions. Our over active brains are a strange thing. We still have Apple pie in the fridge untouched....I told my husband today that if he doesn't eat what he wants tonight it goes in the trash in the morning. He thankfully understood.

Ok, I need some help with recipes specific to cooking venison and elk meat. My husband got his buck over the weekend and is on his elk hunting this week. We have 200 pounds of venison.....sigh I am not a fan of venison! (never have been) Do not like the gamey taste AT ALL. Elk however I do really like. So I have never cooked either. My husband fries them in butter and season. "YIKES" So my question is there anyone who can help me out by sharing recipe's that are sleeve friendly Any replies are a huge help!!!

I'm going to post your pizza Monday! lol

I did have to open the capsule and swallow the little tiny pills inside. I wasn't allowed to swallow the whole capsule. Is the reflux bad?? It was for me the first month. I ran out of my Prilosec a month out and never refilled it. I was able to control it as long as I ate regularly but it's been coming back and I now hafta get a script again. Sigh That's crazy, see my dr said I can't take anything liquid, but I c lots of people taking it so I'm gonna get a prescription too! And I started birth control with out asking, I'm only 4 weeks post op!

I got a script filled for Prilosec before I left the hospital with instructions to take when I got home. Birth control I started 2 1/2 months out but that's not because I couldn't it was because I never took it before and needed a script.

Happy Birfday Fluffy!!!! And ps the inside of pumpkin pie is the best bites

you look amazing!!! It's so noticeable all over!!! Your doing a traffic job!!!

I made a turkey pot pie soup!!

Hey, I attached a pic. Didn't show up. What am I doing wrong? I cant figure out how to attach a photo either...grrhh

I don't know- I go for my 3 month check-up dec. 12th; I'll find out then- it's so interesting how everyone's doctors orders vary; really trying to stick to them- but I'm doing horrible with the exercise- have only exercised a couple of times since the surgery- For sure follow your surgeons guide lines. but your right it's strange how they very so much. I walked a lot my first two months. kinda petered out the last 3 weeks and can really tell with the loss slowing way down. Just started again sigh thinking I need to start trying the gym. hmmm

Do you drink coffee? if so adding a scoop of protein powder to it flavored or not works for me. Or there is chike protein coffee that is yummy I think. I add a scoop to my coffee. (GG got me hooked on that stuff)

Love it!!!! Looks like such fun!! Happy Turkey day!! Beautiful family lady!!
