HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

I didn't see the psych post op. I am 7 weeks out and I still like to snack and pick...I don't know if it will ever go away, but I concentrate on drinking sugar free drinks and SF popcycles at night to help with the need to have "something". I eat pumplkin seeds (break them out of the shell), I can't eat too many of them so it doesn't impact my weight loss, but the activity of shelling them helps with hand to mouth fixation... I am suprised more people don't have something to say about the mental eating...I am sure so many of us must be dealing with it in some way.

I'm 5'4", I have always been a little overweight, but I was okay with my curves until they became lumps, bumps and rolls. I do not think I will be cute at a size 6-8, it may be too thin for me. I am setting my initial goal at 165, size 10-12. I will see how I look and feel when I get there. If I think I need to go further, I will adjust my goal...for now, I would be thrilled to get in a size 12!

I have always enjoyed going out and having some cocktails with friends...having the sleeve has put me on a hiatis that I did not mind at all. However, 4 weeks post op I kind of felt ready and had 1 glass of Muscato sweet white wine. I typically do notdrink white wines or sweet wines, but after reading about what I should drink I figured that is what I should try out first. I sipped it so slow that I hardly felt a buzz and it made me tired. No side effects and no harm done, but I am not in any hurry to get drunk...maybe at Christmas I'll loosen up a bit more. I'm 4 weeks out, I think this is too soon.

4 weeks post op, down 20 lbs! ) Yesterday: Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg coffee w/ cream & splenda Snack: A few very well chewed pecans - no the best idea, I don't think I am ready for nuts Lunch: Totilla pizza (Pizza sauce on a torilla shell w/ lowfat cheese and Margerhita Turkey Pepperoni - only 2.5 grams of fat per 14 pep slices, but I could never even eat that many!) I only ate half of this and it had about five slices of the pep on the half. This was great! It felt good to eat pizza and not have any guilt! Snack: 2 sugar free popcycles Dinner: Turkey Chili - with Chobani Yogurt (instead of sour cream) total amount of food consumed was about a 1/2 cup...chewed well and ate very slow Snack: Special K Protein Water

I made this and it was delicious! I actually made it twice...since I am now in the pureed foods stage now, the second time I pureed ham and added it...this is one of my favorites! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I usually don't finish...but I can have up to 4 oz sipping slowly..I started puree this week, have gone out a few times and ordered Soup, I barely make a dent in the resturant serving!

Just a freindly reminder...its very helpful to add how long post op you are ) Week 2 post-op Breakfast: 1 egg fried in olive oil 1 oz ground beef 1 c. tomato Soup Blended and strained through mesh strainer...protien rich tomoato soup! Lunch: Advantage chocolate protien shake made w/ skim milk 1 tbsp Peanut Butter half banana Blended in blender Dinner: 1/2 c. ricotta 1/4 c. alfredo sauce 1-2 oz ground up chicken (I made this very thin, and it was still delicious!) Snack: Blueberry Greek Yogurt

That is one hell of a list! Thank you!!
