I'm still having trouble with this!!

I opted for the sleeve bc I was never a "sweets", carb person but I could EAT...alot. a "volumous" eater, I used to joke. lol

however, its not funny anymore... although I do eat healthily, avoiding carby, doughy, sweety (anything I basically should be). I feel that I am able to eat TOO much of anything.. I have a food scale & containers w measurements of what I should be eating, but I have yet to put them to use..

I rem learning that if you "eat properly" (we all know Protein 1st) the sleeve will do its job!

I just feel like I am able to consume too much @ one sitting, therefore my calories are prob through the roof.

what I ate today, really most days..

2 (medium) fried eggs, 2 small saug patties 1/2 dollar size..

lunch was rotessire chicken & salad w feta, toms and organic dressing.. dinner will prob be more of the same

did I weigh/measure anything?? nooo... so I'm sabotaging myself :( ugh

I can't eat two eggs. One is my limit. I don't weigh anything, though I do measure when I can. I'm not super diligent about it, I can now visualize how much I can eat--it's not much at all. I use smaller plates too.

You know what you need to do, so I'm not going to repeat it. My scale is my friend. However, consider giving yourself a "reboot" and do a week of liquids. That might get you back on track.

At christmas i purchased some new pryex on sale. At first when i got them, i thought what the heck am i going to do with these tiny 1 cup bowls. Well, turns out they will be perfect for my Portion Control when i can't weigh. Perhaps get yourself some small containers, measure out your meals a bit to see what ones they fit in and at least you will always have a guide by using the same containers for your meals.

      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.
