Eyes Way To Big Still !



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months out and just got back from lunch with a work associate and even though I am 3 months out I still order way to much food...... Or maybe its I cant eat as much so no matter what I order I have to take 3/4 of it to go , which usually ends up getting thrown away since I don't like left overs.....

So for lunch I ordered a" Pho" salad and a fresh spring roll (which was only 2 pieces of shrimp and the rest was vegtables).... after eating the spring roll I was totally full and couldnt even touch my salad and meat , so I got that to go but will probably not eat it for dinner and throw it away. Its so much food it would take me 4 days to eat it all and that would be for every meal....... I love that my stomach is super small and I am loosing weight but I feel guilty like I am always wasting food espcially when I go out. Some places will let you order off the kids menu and other places won't , I found the fast food places that have the dollar menu are ok on portion size but terrible on fat content..... I work in sales and eat out allot since I am on the road driivng all day, sometimes I take my lunch with me but eating in your car when your driving all day isnt really appealing to me and gets very cramped.

thanks for letting me rant...

I am in the car traveling for work a lot too.

I have gone through the McDonald's drive through for their yogurt parfait, which is under 200 calories. I also stop by convenience stores and get a Muscle Milk Light if they have one. As a stand-by, I always keep a few sample Protein powder packets and a mixing cup with the mixing ball in my car. I can stop at the convenience store and get Water and ice, then mix a Protein shake on the go.

You can also carry Ostrim with you in your car. High Protein, low fat, not too many calories.

Don't feel bad, I'm out 3+ YEARS and still my eyes can be bigger then my tummy (literally) I KNOW I can only eat 1 egg, still I make 2. I KNOW I can eat 1 1/2 slices of bacon, still I cook the whole package. I KNOW I can only eat 1 piece of bread, still I toast 2. . . ugh, old habits die hard. . . I just save stuff for later. You should see how funny I look at the buffet! Now there is another story. . . . hahahaha you can just imagine!

I am a visiting nurse and live in my car 4-5 hours a day. I found for Breakfast I have a pure protien RTD can with 23 g of protien and 110 calories before i leave for the day. then ilater I might stop at Dunkin and get a Breakfast wrap with bacon egg and cheese. Absolute perfect size. By about 2 i am ready for something else. I might eat a filet of fish without bread or tarter sauce , or a grill chicken no bread or mayo. I try to get home before that so I can eat something at home like those tiuna salad foil packs. Some days I can eat more than other days, it evens out. I am 2 months out and lost. 32 pounds since surgery and 50 pounds ll together.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
