For the Veteran VSG'ers
1 yogurt and a very small piece of fruit, that's it
1 egg with cheese , full
1cup salad , almost to much
I can eat everything except ham and bread, they don't agree with me.
Popcorn, I get a small one at the movies, I can fini**** by the end of the movie.
I have to eat the 5 small meals a day, and make good choices, which I have not been doing lately.
My weight loss has been slow, and if I don't exercise I to am in trouble
I am almost 2 yrs out and still want to lose 40 more pounds, and I know it will not be easy.
I'm just over a year out ( beginning of april, 2012) and I notice my ability to eat more started around 6-8 months out . Totally makes sense to make the most of the honeymoon period . I think I lost like 80 lbs in that first 6 months and then the last 20 in the next 6 .... crazy. I can really pack in the slider foods if I let myself.
I also find waiters don't ask me if something is wrong with my food as often... totally a sign that I eat more... I still have to pack up like 1/2 my meal but it does look like I've ate a good amount.
It's weird too ... I find my restriction changes day to day and time of day. Usually I can eat way more in the evening or at supper than at lunch . But sometimes it is totally the opposite and i can eat more earlier and later I have more restriction. Keeps me on my toes
