I had my surgery on the 24th in Nashville. I am doing well. I am still trying to figure out what to eat each day. How are you doing?

I am down 30lbs and my blood sugars are perfect!!!!!

I'm doing good , down 30 lbs also. I feel great most of the time , but occasionally struggle with getting tired . Absolutely no discomfort , and still trying to figure out a meal plan/ schedule. I am tracking my calories and find it difficult to go over 600 cal per day. That's probably why I'm still tired! How are all doing ?

[wishin n prayin 10]

Doing really well. I have my good days and bad days as far as how much Protein I get in! I know I need to get into a routine, and door the most part I do. Most of the time I am just not hungry!

Hi all. I'm grateful that I don't seem to have any major issues. I worry more that I'm going to eat too much and not lose. I'm a snacker and nothing seems to upset my stomach so it's a mind over matter challenge to not snack on sweets or bad carbs. I hope the willpower lasts long term, I've already cheated enough times to make me feel quite guilty and depressed.

Yes, I have those moments when I struggle with will power too. Since we are over 5 weeks out we physically feel good, so we think we can pick up anything and eat it. It is a mind game.

I am trying to remember that I have been given a second chance and I don't want to blow it. I am trying to be accountable to someone.

This is the last chance I have to loose this large amount of weight, improve my health, and feel good. I want to take this opportunity and run with it. You can do it too!!!!!

I was also sept 24th....I feel great. .no issues with food. Am doing 38lbs as of this morning....best decision I ever made.

I was on the 26th. I find I can't eat a lot of food still. But I've been doing good other than that. 30lbs down. What is everyone eating? I've been eating cheese and deli meat. Crab and chicken.< /p>

[Slurpee_girl 22]

I'm a bad example but i eat Protein meats first... Ground beef with lots of crushed tomatoes ( spaghetti sauce), salmon, cheese, Greek yogurt, chicken, hummus, guac, Tomato Soup, meatballs, cauliflower mushed up, eggs. My Nut said I can eat most any protein/veg as long as it's soft and I chew it up good.

I just came back from a girls weekend in Atlantic City. At 6 weeks post op, I was so worried about would I eat - or what could I eat? I also didn't want to be the center of attention when we were picking meals. Guess what? I found I could eat pretty much anything I wanted, albeit tiny portions. I enjoyed some eggplant Parm, Veal cutlet , eggs, bacon, mini cheese burger( no bread) a glass of wine, some pancake, and a little Pasta over 2 1/2 days . I also brought my Protein shakes, apple sauce, instant cream of wheat as a safety net . My portions were small , but I was satisfied. I even sampled a cannoli!

Bottom line is at 6 weeks, I can enjoy many (most) foods in small quantities. I also came home 2 lbs lighter.! I try to make good choices, accept my portion limits , and I realize an occasional indiscretion won't derail my weight loss.

[Slurpee_girl 22]

That's awesome. I like your attitude and approach.

Hello to all those done in September 2013, especially 9/24/13. How is it going? I seem to be at a plateau. I am down 42 pounds but have been here for about a week. I find that struggle with wanting to snack at night. I do try to eat Protein first still. I hope to drop a few pounds soon. I do feel great. Merry Christmas to you all!!!!
