Topic: Do you weigh your food?
every single time if you do?
I'm starting to think I need to do that. I feel like I'm now able to eat less food than when I first started this journey, right after surgery. Mind you, it might be the texture of the foods, but dang, the last couple of days, I'm just not able to eat "as much" (which is a good thing), but it hurts for about an hour till I can pass some gas. I just can't seem to eat slow enough or something. You'd think I'd learn to eat slower and not take as much of a helping. Guess I need to back it down to 1/2 cup and eat a little bit more if I'm still hungry.
There just doesn't seem to be a happy medium for me. And just when I thought chili and I were buds. How can we break this cycle of eating too much!! :( You would think I would have learned by now.

Topic: RE: skin pains
yep, that sounds similiar to what I've been experiencing too, but I've been really bad on exercising. All things considered, I still think I'm doing pretty good :-)
I suppose if I exercised. I might be able to get into those size 18 clothes and lower lol
and feel those bones I know are tucked in there someplace :-)

Topic: RE: Happy 6 Mo Post Op Girls!!!!
that's fabulous. It's great when you have the "next pair of jeans" in the wing, just waiting to be tried on and voila, you're able to zip them up. It's pretty cool that I have to tell myself NO when I'm in K-Mart checking out the new jeans. I'm half tempted to buy a size which I know won't fit me now, but then I think, well, I think I'll just wait till I can try them on.
I can't wait (well, I can), till I can get into a size 14. Amazing how different all of our body masses are and what we can and can't fit into just yet. Heck, I'll be happy to get to a size 18 at this rate :-)

Topic: RE: Before and six months post-op pics
congratulations Leanne - sounds like many of us are right about at the same place. I've got 29 more to go before I hit onederland too and am looking forward to it. I'm amazed because just in this past week, lost 5 lbs. It's getting to the point that I'm going to start "measuring" from Sunday to Sunday as far as my report to family. Even though I still weigh myself every day :-)
way to go girl. Keep up the good work.

Topic: RE: Meat is no longer my friend
I hear ya Leanne. I know I didn't sign up to be a vegetarian either, but the pain is just not worth it to me sometimes. I've also discovered that it's difficult to eat chili, then more protein. It just amazes me how little I can now eat, compared to pre-surgery. I get that feeling of being way too full before I'm anywhere near having a taste of everything. I think I understand where I'm failing there, it's that 30 minute drinking rule which I have been slacking on. I'm going to make a new post on that topic though.
