Question: i still eat very fast in bigish bites. when will my band stop me from doing that? i have 5.6 in i believe (2 fills)..going for my 3rd.

i've been as high as 8.5cc in my band, and now comfortably @ 7.2. i too have a tendency to eat fast - but meats ALWAYS check me it seems, and i have to slow down a bunch. so far i've had 8 fills & 2 unfills, and it was around fill #5 that i couldn't inhale my meals:eek:, hopefully fill #3 will work for ya!!!

See meats don't bother me. It was only the one time i wrote about with the Breakfast sandwhich lol (the one bite i took). I don't, however, eat steak. Well i'm hoping it gets me in check..we'll see on Wednesday i suppose!! I can eat my entire meal in 15 min flat (and i usually do) and when i'm done--every single i'm i'm like "crap i should slow down"...

Do you put your fork down in between every bite? I used to eat really fast and getting into that habit has helped a lot!

Georgia---have you already had dinner? ???????? or are you projecting what you will have?

No, I had not had dinner yet. I would be starving if I ate that early, lol. I usually know what I'm going to eat in advance though. I tend to eat better if I have a plan and stick to it.

Hehehe, I gotta ask....what are naked nuggets??? The name makes me giggle!!

I giggled too. :thumbup: Georgia, I really love to see what you and BlooeyeZ eat everyday. I don't like to cook, so I'm not very creative as you can see what I eat. You should see me in the grocery store trying to find some of the things you all eat. I still cannot find "greek yogurt" yet. I live in a small town and a lot of the foods I can't find.:sad:

Today

B- coffee, 1 boiled egg and 3 slices of bacon

L- 2oz tuna, 1tsp low fat mayo, 1 tsp relish, (it was that tuna in a kit) and 6 wheat crackers

S- The last of the nut mix (almonds, raisins, brazil nut and peunuts)

D- 2 chicken strips (1 came back up:mad:) so I'm having yogurt and cottage cheese (2 ozs ea)

I just found greek yogurt. I live in a relatively small town too and the Walmart here just started carrying a greek yogurt. I grab them up everytime I go in because there usually isn't very many in stock, lol. I love getting ideas from this thread!!

Georgia Girl,

They are chicken nuggets without the breading.I picked them up at costco and they are called naked nuggets...

LOL, okay....that makes sense. Is the meat processed, like a real chicken nugget? If so, that would be really good, especially on days I can't handle a lot of meat. Does it go down with no problem for you?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
