I feel hunger sometimes. But its over with a few bites of food.

22/24 looks different on different people as all bodys have more weight on some areas than others, so how would anyone know were you carry most your weight? I think you should ring the company your flying with and ask if your weight range is fine not clothe size if that makes sense. , i dont know what a 22 is all round the world.

How about she was eating alot of gummy sweets and forgot to brush her teeth? Not judging but if you say this happened within a year and she gained weight back plus some, we all know sugar does not help our teeth lol. Sounds like some denial is in there, WE WILL NEVER KNOW!

It is a huge realization that though it feels slow we have all come along way! The last update : 15th september, i was 213 and now ( evening weight not morning) I am 199lbs) I see why people say do not look at your weekly achievments because I was not losing every week, but the whole month even though people may lose faster than me , I am really happy with that! This ends on the 20th so.. We shall see what Friday holds! GOODLUCK EVERYONE

199lbs - 4.40pm weight so excited what the morning will say lol i know its not friday haha but i think i will be at my goal by friday maybe of the 197lbs which i thought id never achieve lol

It makes me feel sick thinking about it. I am still tempted for bad food but I don't want to waste my money buying something I will have one piece of and I won't go the effort to make it lol. I've never heard of a side of okra next to fried chicken! This conversation is making me hungry actually but my first goal to get to 197lbs before November is more important lol

That's amazing! See doesn't defeat the purpose for your journey ! So people should be careful what they say. I may need it a year in when I can eat more

I was 244 5 foot 2 and only didn't get bigger because I dipped in an out of dieting but I used to order 3 burgers and nuggets and fries I am so disgusted. I don't know if I regretted it honestly. It was a binge and then I'd forget about it as it was obviously the last binge before a diet lol. Always. But never.

Because she feels now she is about to imbark on this journey that her frame of mind would be changing by now. She feels she shouldn't have almost done what she feels she should not be doing on this new path though she has not had the surgery yet. What is so confusing ? She could have eaten the whole meal but she wants to change her way of eating and eat healthier before surgery which is commendable. I on the other hand did this a lot before surgery and was scared it meant I wouldn't do well post surgery. Luckily the sleeve stops me from eating the wrong things. I needed more than willpower alone. I am admiring this lady for still being able to eat this kind of food. But still chose not to. Amazing.

To have that willpower before your sleeve is amazing. Don't beat yourself up even after its hard to forget old habits. But it hurts the tummy to much to give in for me. I have forgotten I had a sleeve when I first was on normal food. Ordered a small burger and fries. A few bites I vomited. Didn't even touch the fries lol oops. Point is your a human and you got through it and you should be proud of yourself. Now I don't go Mac Donalds but i have since that event got a burger a small one and ate half the pattie for lunch. Half the pattie for Dinner. Without the bun or sauce lol. Did it for me. No fries. In the uk we don't get ice tea at mcds that's interesting.

That's a good point. I don't excersise so may lose weight faster than someone who is building muscle.

Well Ended up getting weight loss surgery after to that's your answer haha. Honestly the headaches paranoia and shakes were not worth it. I'd die feeling like that plus not eating much lol

My diet is on plan. and is not low carb. as my plan isn't low carb. And weightloss is still happening. But I understand its a good tool to speed things up. Well I'm not intentionally low carb I eat what ever is on my plan lol and I don't eat bread because it fills me but I'd eat fruit if I had space lol

Goodluck. He knows best. I would never use it after wls the small amount you can eat that heavy drugs you will be shaking. I tried it before wls. I started of 244 3 months later I've lost 42lbs. I had a sleeve. I would be frustrated if things moved at your pace but I heard the same about light weights. And still you have lost a considerable amount of weight. I don't know meal sizes for RNY but if I was still in the weight loss phase and in a stall it would be 3 ounces protein 1 ounce low starch veg each meal. If you don't shift a lb then something is wrong.

You for sure do not need to be eating MORE from what you have mentioned. You are still healing so your tummy will feel extreme hunger and growls and its part of the healing process, track your calories. goodluck

Sorry I am hearing 6 ounces and 8 ounces and your only a few days in, have you not got a limit your surgeon said you should follow? Stock is like water but I was not allowed more than 4 ounces per sitting of soup/yogurt/cream of wheat but could not manage that amount of soup. But its all fine aslong as your plan allows for that amount. How many calories is that a day? I am 3 months in and not. allowed over 800 cals, what you describe sounds more than that. Though all plans are different. You are not hungry you are still healing so the growling feels real but it settles. Eating after 10pm is a bad idea, hunger will not kill you so if your hungry after 10pm next time just wait till tommorow, you need to get into good habits.

How far in are you into your journey? Bare in mind , you do not need extra tools, at first when you have a sleeve, people may need an extra tool after some time say if they need to re focus. BPC is alot of calories and early on your total calorie for the day is not very high. You make it out of coconut oil & butter. But I don't have it now I have had a sleeve.

Again, as I said , how do you know it defeats someone elses purpose if you do not even know there purpose. It defeats your purpose, and I know were your coming from. Alot of people follow different people/ DRs and your way is not the only way. I would not do a BPC post surgery as its not for me , but many people use BPC to prolong a fast, when they do longer fasts like one meal a day, and because it does not cause an insuline spike which is the point of fasting their fast is still successful. A water fast till your window opens, is simply that, nothing but water till you open your window, but there is no guarantee any one is more successful than the other , depending YOUR PURPOSE. Not anyone elses. You can not decide what is the best for anyone else. Some people would even say your herbal tea is not fasting there is 2 calories per cup. So if you want to be a purist you should not be drinking herbal tea or it defeats the purpose if we are on your train of thought I think its important to know there are many routes and it does not all fit you , but no need to lecture someone else or tell someone it will defeat their purpose when you do not even know them or their purpose. I think its important for people to not try and be experts for someone elses plan.

Hi , congrats on yoru surgery, geting liquids in is the most important right now. what are you eating? and how much and how often

I'm only allowed 20 minute's to eat. Don't force it. Maybe you would be done at 1 ounce.

Your a man though. I'm a small woman. So not surprising you can eat more than me. My response was for the lady above you.

I didn't think it matters as such the size of bougie as I don't think I have the smallest. But still at 3months half an egg is my limit. No accompaniment s like avocado. Only if I have egg whites I can add something l

Dont over do the deli meats though. High in sodium I think and can cause water retention. All in moderation.

How many ounces did you eat? Are you not still on soft food ? I was on normal food at 5 w but not steak as it is hard. But I couldnt eat a whole patty now at 3 months

your doing great i dont excersise at all i will closer to my goal
