will I gain?

sunsett · October 9, 2005

Ok now I'm just starting to eat food. Boy this phase is scary!

Todays menu, please tell me if I'm being terrible!

1 string cheese=7 pro

8ox protien drink with 1/2% milk

almost half of a turkey wrap

20 peanuts..ummmmm (maybe less)

5tsp of creamy onion Soup (Outback)

3 small bite pumpernickel bread with a dab of butter

less than 1/4 chicken cutlet

5 bites of sweet potato

1/4 diet low everything Ice Cream with a Tsp of DCool whip

I did not drink anything with the meals.

I think I only drank about 36oz of Water today.

So am I ok or am I screwing up already!

I don't know - I can't even figure out how much mush I'm supposed to eat!!! But it sounds like 1/2 of what I would have eaten pre-band. I think the ?'s to ask yourself are do you feel satisfied - do you feel full? I'm trying to get in touch with my brain (of course, this hasn't ever happened in 26 years!!!)

I dont think so

How big are you.. that kinda matters.. If you dont mind..

If I ate that little I would loose like 20 pounds in a month I bet.. lol

GOOD LUCK

DONT WORRY

Your gonna be GREAT!

I'm not sure your Protein is where it needs to be (did you hit 60-80 grams?). BUT, I think you had a great day! Look at what you ate when you went to Outback. I know for myself (pre-banded) I would have eaten 5 times that at Outback. Doesn't it feel great to go out to eat and not blow the whole day?

Make sure you're taking your Calcium supplement and Multivitamin. It's hard to get in the fruits and veggies...

Now that you are on solids, you may see s slight wieght gain but not to worry this is so normal...your body will ned a few days to adjust to the new food it is getting, once that happens you may see the scale going in the downward direction again, you have no fill which means no restriction, so be patient once you get your fills and the band works like it was meant to work things will change. This is not a race we have a lifgetime to lose this weight, enjoy your band

I started at 268/then pre-op scales I was 257 when I looked on Friday 244.

I hate the mental part of all of this! I mean in the real world I would have had a few pieces of bread a salad all the fixins on the sweet potato, instead of asking for the fixins on the side, and a blummin onion!

I was bulimic years ago and at times durning my ups and downs I had times that I was afriad of food. So now I'm starting to feel afrain again! Which I sure don't want to. I've just been hungry the past few days. Plus you hear things like people only losing a very small amount in a year. Do they eat so much more that what I ate yesterday?

Will I feel full when I'm restricted alot quicker?

Is this food fear just me?

Ok so far today I ate

protien shake 30gm P

Terriyaki chicken cutlet, I hate less that half the cutlet

a few bites of veggies

about 8 mini oreo Cookies..the devil made me do it....

protien shake 30 gm P

What I'm I gonna do on the cruise? Will I even be hungeyer then...

AHHH

Thanks so much for your encouraging words! and for all of your support!
