Eating small bites and chewing is hard!!!



Recommended Posts

Reprogramming the way I eat is hard!!!! I'm still on liquids but I find myself pounding sugar free Jello like its going out of style. I also took 2 bites of my son's fish...guilty conscience. I guess this is where I need to focus on why I'm eatin the way I am...

just go one meal at a time, its all you can do.

i had to change my entire attitude, my thinking along with the amount i eat.

i wanted to loose weight bad enough that i just do it....hang in there..its a learning process...def do not beat yourself up..just do better.

Same here, I did it actually today, made some huge gulf shrimp and ate them like I used too, big bites, only got 2 down and then the Pbing started, so no solids for the rest of the day. It takes time to relearn, but you will be able to do it eventually and may run into hiccups along the way (I knew better than what I did today, but was not thinking).

Shrimp is hard on new bands! Be careful!

Glad I'm not alone for the most part. I ate the fish because I was weak minded, which is why I decided to get the band in the first place. I have poor self control, which I am trying to work on. I know I should not...just like I know I should not eat that chocolate cake, etc before the band. BTW I found this awesome low carb yogurt that is only 60 calories for 6 ounces and 1.5 grams of fat. 1 net carb. I think carbs always have been and always will be my downfall and if I can manage that I will do better rather than worse. I am at the 2 week mark and down 10 pounds though :)

What is this yogurt you found? I like my Danon light and Fit Greek because it has low carbs and high Protein, but would be interested to know what you found?

Congrats on your loss. I just asked about the fish because I was worried about you doing damage to the band this early on. Stay focused and stick to your drs orders,..you will be fine

My nutrutionist said do most of the work on the plate, until you get the hang of it, or always if you want. She means cut the food into bite sized pieces (size of your finger nail) so it is easier to make sure you don't take too big of a bite.
