diet? no diet? life change? bad mood?
mimorison posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I need opinions please help me. I started with 186 at 5"2, currently I am at 160.8,, 7 weeks out. I am super happy with the loss although i only lost 4 lbs this month.. I only can eat very little, and I am super full, which I love it. I eat very little carbs and only cheated couple times...My cheat consists of 1 bite of Pasta, seriously 1 spoon... I am a little upset, because I did this because I hate diets, and I failed at all of them. My goal with this surgery was to restrict food portion and lose weight but eating so little that I would lose regardless. I am learning that no matter how little you eat, you might not lose? Am I right, or I am stalling? If I used to eat 2.500 cal perday before surgery and now I eat 700 but I have carbs I still wont lose because if you eat carbs you wont lose? I am so confused... I thought calories were a number.. regardless of what you eat...if you eat 800 calories in a day and burn 3000 cal you lose even if you ate a burger... I am just venting because I hate diets and i feel i am in a endless diet...Maybe i am stressed..I have to plan every meal i eat, plan the carbs, Protein....we ended fat for a reason, and the reason is that we are terrible at diets..Aren't we on a diet again...Ok you will tell me we are on a life change, I know..I am, I dont eat anymore...I eat protein now...but the measuring what, why and when...do you identify? -
I'm 1 month out and when my stomach is empty in hungry but how much you eat there you go....then after 3 hours I'm hungry again then I have my protein shake. I eat every 3 hours. Three meals and 2 snacks...but I still get hungry right before the 3 hour mark.

I had my surgery 8/26 and I losr 1 more lb than you and I am super happy. I would never ever would lost this weight on my own( i mean on my own without the sleeve) , plus we are smaller so 10% of weight loss is amazing...calculate % of weight loss, and not actually a number of lbs, someone that weighs 300lbs might lose 30Lbs this is 10% of their weight...You did great!!! Can you imagine in 1 year? This is how I think!

Can you give us the recipe? -
Surgery 3 weeks ago my doctor allows us patients to advance a stage so I had Beans swrimp with a little melted cheese but I think just the swrimp would be enough I'm so full...I'm still learning
-
My plan is bkfast 3oz of an Greek yogurt triple zero oikos 12:00Lunch pure protein usually 2 oz of tuna 15:00 protein shake eas 100 cal 18:00 dinner 2oz protein+ 1 kitchen spoon of beans mashed 21:00 another 100 cal protein shake sometimes I can't because I'm too full but my doc suggests 2 shakes a day
-
Of course I chew a lot I added the bean because eating only 3 swrimp for dinner I'm afraid to faint

I bought them ready to eat puréed at whole foods
