Had a few leftover vegetables to use up before they went to God (or the bin) so decided to make a 4 egg omelette. Celery, capsicum, tomatoes & cheese. It split when I was flipping it so looks a bit messy. Had half for lunch yesterday & will have the other half tonight.

Mr. felt for French Toast so we went to one of our fave coffee places for Breakfast (at like 8am! which is weird cuz we don't eat breakfast lol)

I ordered a Shrimp Cake Benny and had like half of one and a bite or two of the potatoes and salad: calculated 322 cals for what i ate.

He got his french toast (see the bottom pic), and ate it all plus my leftovers. I am honestly amazed at how much the guy can eat and remain normal sized 😳

...also!

Interesting eating strategy i discovered:

For those who have challenges with slowing down their eating, eat with your non-dominant hand!

I am nursing an injured arm (its in a sling), and i have to eat with my left hand (im right handed). And man does it ever slow things way down. I probably also ate less than i normally would cuz i think i just got tired of the process.

I'm always surprised how little some of you people seem to eat. Like one of my meals is more than others are eating in a day??

😕

well, i DO eat "little" at one time/sitting, but i eat these little meals like 5-6 times a day so i figure it all adds up?

its not that im trying to eat less, i just get full quickly. and i HATE the feeling of being full (its very physically uncomfortable for me...)

Yeah, I stopped looking at this thread because I always feel like I am eating way too much seeing how little some people eat before feeling full. But then I compare what I eat to what other non-surgically enhanced people eat and i think ok I don't eat that much really

      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.
