      I think we all have to do that at times...

      You've recognized it and caught it early...

      Now you can get on top of it and stay in track...

      Well done and good luck!!!

      I have the same issue, I just can't seem to get enough water in my system! Ugh...I have recently begun to give myself reminders to drink, I use my iPhone to notify me after an hour has expired to DRINK!

      It seems to be working, I'm starting to be more aware of getting water into my system now. Hope this helps. Good luck!

      my surgeon suggested that i keep a bottle of water with me at all times regardless of where i am or where i go and that works for me. i can't forget to drink if i always have a bottle of water with me.

  3. First holidays post vsg. Thanksgiving wasn't as difficult as I expected it to be, hoping Christmas is as easy.

      Oh yeah! Just a warning, it is not a low calorie snack. According to the website I got this recipe from its about 180 cal per cookie.

       

      Chocolate PB Protein cookies ( makes 12 cookies)

      Preheat oven to 350 degrees

      Mix together :

      1 cup smooth peanut butter

      1/2 cup sugar

      1/2 cup chocolate protein powder

      2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

      1 large egg

       

      Form into small balls and place on baking sheet , flatten crosswise with fork

      Bake about 10 minutes

      Let cool for about 15 minutes to harden

  12. Manager bought bagels and cream cheese for the office. I hate everyone just a little for the moment .

      There are always some type of snacks in my office. The way the people in my office eat, It amazes me that no one else here is overweight !

      donuts are available about every week where I work. I consider it a challenge to look and walk away. I haven't caved yet!

    Still fat mentally?

    I am going thru a similar thing. I still feel like I'm fat. I'm still not at goal yet, I'm about 10 or 15 lbs away from goal. My husband and my mom call me skinny. Granted i feel much better and i know i have lost 81 lbs but my brain seems to be lagging and hasn't caught up with my body yet. I do have some days where i feel thin, and i think it's just going to take some getting used to, especially since so many of us spent more time as bigger versions of ourselves.
  14. 10 more lbs to go until I reach my goal weight!

      I second the motion for PB2. It's yummy and a lot less calories than regular peanut butter.

    3. Medi619

      Medi619

      I'll try that PB2. Regular peanut butter is just not agreeing with my sleeve.

      Wascott, it must be a Washington thing...........any PB, mmmmmmmmm

  16. 3 months out and I'm losing all taste for food. I now because I have to. I don't really enjoy anything now. I hope this passes. I mean its good for my weight loss but it sucks to feel like I dont like my food all the time.

      For me I would rather have this new relationship with food and lose weight than be hungry and tempted by food. I needed this better relationship with food because the one I had was unhealthy.

    3. Medi619

      Medi619

      I dont mind the change in my relationship with food. I just mind not liking what I have to make myself eat. Im actually glad the sweet tooth is gone though. I dont miss that.

      I feel the same way so unless it's really flavorful I just don't care if I eat it. spice rack has grown.....

  17. still having trouble getting in enough fluids :-(

      I am having the same problem I can get the protein in - just not the liquids :(

    3. Medi619

      Medi619

      I think I'll try the G2 to see if it helps. Unfortunately I'm not really big on flavored drinks. I'm also having some trouble getting in the number of calories recommended by my NUT. It's because of trying to get in my fluids and my sleeve just wont let me eat very much. But i think im getting a decent amount of protein even if its not the 70 grams I was told i should get daily.

      It can take some time (weeks, months) before you get there. Just keep doing the best you can with fluids and protein - they are the priority.

  18. after having no caffeine for months, this chai tea has me buzzing lol

      I'm a little nervous to try coffee. Not ready for that much caffeine yet Lol

  19. ate dinner a bit too fast...so much regret after

      I feel your pain. If I eat or do something that Miss Tummy does does not like, she makes me repent for hours.

  20. still working on eating slowly. it's more difficult than it seems

      Old habits die hard! 2 wks out and I have to remember to space my sips of clear liquids lest I get full too quickly

  21. 3 weeks out and still having a hard time with getting in all my liquids

  22. I am only 3 weeks post op and I have had feelings of failure too. I've been wondering what I got myself into with this sleeve surgery because I can't seem to get enough fluids in yet. But I keep reminding myself that I did this because I want to be healthier. I know there are days that we are going to struggle with this but we didn't go through major surgery for nothing. 75lbs lost is great. Try to focus on the positive and don't be sorry for venting we all need to once in a while.
  23. I never thought I'd be full from a spoon of peanut butter

  24. Almost 3 weeks post op, feeling good but still having trouble getting in all my liquids
