I don't know how I do it. Just a little bit at a time and I eat slow. I just started being able to eat mire then 2-3 ounces. This was 4 ounces patti before cooking. Ate 1/2 then the other 1/2 a little later. I'm still pretty full 3 hours later

That's cool. I've heard about other people eating 2 or 3 ounces at my stage and earlier and I wonder if something is wrong with me! I just can't eat more than an ounce of anything... usually less. But, I'm doing well, as far as having energy and stuff. I wasn't trying to say you are eating too much.. not at all because I know others do it too. I'm thinking my issue might be that I am so short and maybe my stomach was really short too and now that I'm sleeved, I just don't have much space in there... I'm looking forward to eating slightly bigger portions. :-)

SURGEY date: 3-1-13

Down 48 lbs (18 was pre-op)

Ate 1/2 burger with bun for lunch. 45 minutes later ate the other 1/2. Why? Because I am stupid and weak. Ate it for sport. Please Lord, give me the strength not to try to outsmart my sleeve.

Anyone else do this sort of stuff?

Thanks

I am almost three years out and last Sunday for the first time since surgery I actually ate a jr. burger, with American cheese and the bun. I have to tell you, I felt a little guilt too. Ugh, I have ordered a hamburger before but usually I'll take a bite of it and then take the meat off the bun and just eat it. We were out with our new Sunday school class after church and I just didn't feel like taking it apart, so I got the little one. Neither one of us got fries, so I had nothing else. I was full but I will not do this very often, I feel better just eating the meat.< /span>

Pray that you can always just eat a little, it's wonderful and what we paid for, forced Portion Control. At three years out I cannot eat a full cup of food per meal. I WISH I was still just eating a half cup per. Early on, I could only eat an eighth of a cup, then a fourth.....etc. I can't complain too much, I still have good restriction.

Hahaha!!!

Don't you love it??

Someone here last week asked me how on earth

Can I have eaten a WHOLE BANANA!!!

(For those of you wondering how.. I peeled it took a bite chewed and swallowed then took another bite, chewed and swallowed till it was gone )

She was 11 months out, I'm 5 months.

She then told me "well I guess I could do it but it would take me a whole hour!"

So I guess I'm a freak of nature :P

I must join you as a freak of nature because I can eat a whole banana with no problem...l can eat a whole BIG softball size orange as well... When I eat a whole banana I feel full but a good full not overly stuffed, same with the orange! These are my go to snacks!

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
