Yep there is all kinds of real food. The only thing that affects me is anything deep fried

I am 5 months out. I have amazing amounys of energy compared to before. I was 12k steps a day now. I can walk for an hour and not be winded, out of breath or tired Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

1 cup oats 1 cup coconut 3 scoops (90g) chocolate Protein powder Tablespoon cocoa powder (or more to taste) Blend together in food processor Add in 1 cup sultanas 1/2 cup prunes Blend again. Add a little Water at a time till it looks moist but still separated. ( you can also add some coconut oil if you like) Stop and make into balls. Makes 30 balls at 50 calories each The amount of water is dependent on the fruit. So go slow. If you can squish the mix and it stays together then it's right. You don't want it too wet

Diey jelly made with the Water but then adding greek yogurt to it mmmmmm. Roasted chickpeas are also great. I also make choc Protein balls which i love for a sweet fix Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

4 months out Breakfast - 100g of greek yogurt mixed with vanilla Protein powder and 1/2 a banana or some berries or i have the fruit with Protein Powder and Water in a shake lunch - all sorts of things today i had a beef and vegie Soup, tomorrow is chicken laksa, i often have the little tin tunas with salad or chicken meatballs with salad dinner - again all sorts of things. Tonight was laksa, last night malay chicken curry. I also have three snack a day. These are usually things like roasted chickpeas, protein balls, sliced deli turkey, 1/4 of a Quest bar - approx 50 calories a serve. I average 650 to 700 calories most days. I cook on weekends and freeze individual portions so i have tons of variety in my freezer like chilli, beef stew, roasted beef and gravy, chicken catattorie, chicken curry, lamb madras etcetc Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Tries to understand how having a food addiction and having no issues with food can be congruent.... Oh wait they can't.... Gina I'm sorry you are frustrated, sick, sad, angry and all the rest... But the first step is being honest with yourself. You have said a number of contradictory things about yourself and your journey. You are placing blame because you can't cope with the idea you played a role in your situation. Your lashing out at others while understandable is not acceptable Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

scales are an indicator. Just pick the scale to use as you baseline. They are calibrated differently so will often gjve different numbers. My surgeons is always a few kg more Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I'm almost 4 months out and had a niggle or regret the other week cos I was in a stall and frustrated. But it passed very quickly. It's a long road and it is going to be bumpy but most of the time I've been really happy with my decision Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I refuse to think of less nutritional food as "cheating" or even self sabotage. I have eaten pizza, hot chips and even ice-cream since surgery but I plan them into my day and calories. I am aim eat well 95% of the time so I can occasionally indulge. In some ways this is harder because the tempting foods are present and they aren't 'banned'. But in life there is always temptation and yummy not so nutritious foods available and I'd prefer to work on my self control than ban food or feel guilty when it's eaten Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I had some nausea in hospital which was managed with some meds. Minimal pain. Was on paracetomol when i left hospital. No vomiting etc. I was sore for about three weeks but nothing horrible. I was tired for about the same amount of time Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Im australian and live in adelaide. I had my sleeve at the beginning of may Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Homestly if you have been backed up for a while you will likely need a supplement or med first to clear everything out Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Thats a LOT of weight to have lost in a few weeks!!! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I took 2 weeks but wish id taken three Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Omg thats gorgous id love it but the postage to australia would be horrendous Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Im 2 months out from surgery and 50kg (110lb) down from my top weight ( 1/2 lost before surgery). First few weeks were a bit rough, but now i feel AMAZING. It just keeps betting better. I still have the same again to lose (or a little more) but the change so far is fantastic Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I have rewards for every 10kg i lose scheduled. My last was a manicure, next is my hair done ( probably some curls permed in), i also have an overseas holiday in there as my treat when i get down to goal Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Weird NSV but i purchased my house 3 years ago and have never been able to fit in the bath. 50kg down and i fit!!!!!!

Pre op i had an Optifast shavke for Breakfast, a cup if vegetable Soup ( only certain vegies, no potato, corn, pimpkin, sweet potato etc) homemade with just veg and stock plus a Quest bar or optifast bar for lunch and 150g of lean Protein and vegies for dinner (again no high carb vegies) Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I was cleared to swim at 10 days post op Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

It took me over 100lbs to drop two dress sizes..... but my start weight was on the high end Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

You arent really doing the pre op diet if you are eating things you shouldnt ???? you are likely eating more calories than your surgeon wants Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk
