sleeve32 27 Posted June 18, 2015 Just out of curiosity do any of you feel like some days your restriction is more than other days? It seems like some days I can eat way more. For example: today I may be able to eat an entire small bowl of oatmeal but another day only be able to eat 3 or 4 bites max. I am 7 weeks post op. I wonder why that is. I am never hungry but I eat when I know my body needs it. Usually something like oatmeal or an egg for Breakfast and a Protein Shake for lunch and a small Protein healthy dinner.

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah, me too, and I am 15 months out. I have noticed that a boiled egg fills me up, but a fried egg makes me associate it bacon and cheese on a 1/2 sandwich. I can be full on two ounces of chicken, but uncontrolled, I could eat a grilled bratwurst with the bun and onions, kethcup, mustard, and a few Beans on the side. I still have to be careful to not get tripped up on these food associations. This is a forever walk, and slip-ups sneak up on when you aren't looking. One other thing have to watch out for is that on strength training days, I definitely am hungrier. I just have to make sure that I eat Protein and not mashed potatoes. Man, this is work.....nuthin' easy about it. Out of necessity, I am become a nutritarian and paleo fanatic. So, at least if I do eat more, it has some nutritional value. I have even started putting spinach in my shakes that I have on my strength training days. I was wary at first, but it actually has no discernable flavor.

Willow822 24 Posted June 19, 2015 I was just saying this same thing to my husband today... We went to Outback for dinner last night and I ordered the 6 oz. filet. I could barely eat 2 oz. Brought it home and heated it up for lunch today and I was able to eat the rest of it (4 oz.), minus one large bite that he had. Some mornings I can eat a whole egg with low fat cheese and then other mornings I can only eat about half. Unfortunately I have found that chocolate donuts are a slider food for me though, I ate 3 in one sitting last week and could've eaten more. They are no longer allowed in my house, lol!

sleeve32 27 Posted June 19, 2015 I'm happy to hear it's not just me then. I was wondering. Lol. It's crazy how one day differs from others. I still wonder why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
