Fill

[suzzie33 37]

Well i have an appointment with my surgeons asst tomorrow. I am prob getting the .05 put back in that I had taken out ! I feel I can eat too much like tonight had a tiny pile of Pasta ( once in a while thing ) a half of a pork chop and and a small ear of corn. Just think I need more in. Don't think i found that sweet spot yet. Ugh

Almost 4 Years later ! Ugh I am broken. I can eat bread as well ! I feel lien a idot. I was 241 at my highest. Now I am 154 I am tricking to get to 140 but I am not budging ! Ugh

When you see the doctor, talk to them. I had Pasta for dinner and I eat bread but only in restaurants and then it is the crusty parts not the doughy part.

Good luck tomorrow.

Why would you think you're broken? You are down almost 90 lbs! I think thats great. It took me 3 years to really get to a good point with my band....and my head. You can do it! Never, ever give up.

Hope you feel better because of what others have posted. As for myself I've only lost about twenty pounds so far and I feel pretty good, would like more weight loss but like I told the Psychiatrist I'll take twenty pounds if thats all I get!

Ohhhh I refuse to give up! I run 2 mikes 3 x a week. Also I may start roller derby. I just think I can eat too much !

" I just think I can eat too much !"

Thats what I discussed with my surgeon a couple of months ago....and he added .2 cc's. Made a nice difference for me!

Why would you cheat? Make sure you tell your doctor that you cheated. Non-compliance in the first six weeks is a no-no. Stick to your guns and try not to cheat anymore. Good luck!

I eat a VERY wide variety of food for dinner. (These sizes are appx...as I no longer measure/weigh food. I did for long enough to have a good idea what the amount is.)

Choice of:

4-6 oz if its a red meat....which has become less and less frequent....my choice.

4-6 oz of chicken breast. Or about 4-5 chicken wings.

8-12oz of fish, more if grilled, less if fried.

6-8 oz of shrimp....scampi style.

2 crabcakes...appx 8 oz total.

Then add in maybe a small salad, or a small potato, and usually some kind of bean/lentil.

"Lunch" is usually pretty light, depending on what I'm doing.

If I'm working,

A few slices ( appx 2-4oz ) of turkey breast/couple slices of cheese/half dozen crackers, then usually a few grapes/half an apple/or avocado.

tuna salad/crackers

Blackened fish with maybe a small salad.< /p>

OR - a small bowl of chili (homemade!) or wendy's small if I'm out and can't find anything better.....like Long John Silvers "hold the batter" (baked) fish plate with green beans/slaw.
