I just don't get it no matter how much I preach to others and myself that I didn't have surgery on my brain.to ask myself am I relly hungry? why do I want to pick? or better yet why did I try that? I am starting old habits back and I don't want to . I have picked and picked all weekend. I am really suprised at how much my stomach can hold. Is that normal? I ate a whole cup of macaroni salad that makes me nervous .Pasta is heavy. granite before I would of had more but 1 cup now at 3 months out? Today I spent the day hanging new curtains and cleaning I am not hungry...I justneed to take one day at a time anyway thanks for listening tina

Hi Tina, Isn't nice to have a place where you can vent and people understand? I can tell your worrying, which in itself is not a good thing. I haven't had surgery yet....soon...but from what I've learned at meetings, eating 1 cup at 3 months seems alot. The best place to get the right answer to that though, is from your surgeon. I just read a chapter in Dr.Phil's Ultimate Weight Solutions book about positive self-talk. Choosing your thoughts chooses the consequences that go with them. When a bad habit shows up, talk yourself out of it by using some positive self-talk. But don't just talk, take a walk away from whatever you were about to indulge in. Keeping busy definitely helps refocus your thoughts too. Are you making sure you drink enough? Sometimes dehydration will make you reach for food, when all you really need is liquid. Also, I don't know what the rules are for your diet, but my center recommends NO pasta or any starches until 1 year out or at least 50% to your goal weight. Keep hanging in there. And call your surgeon's office to make sure something else isn't going on. Blessings, Yvonne

Hi Tina, I get scared too when I think I've eatten to much. I'm guessing the pasta salad had some sort of dressing on it so it was probably "wet" and slide right down with no problem. I don't know if 1 cup is to much at 3 months post o*****t, but I know that when I eat "wet" things I can eat more at one time and they go down to easy and it's scarey. You're doing the right thing by taking it one day at a time. That's all we can do. We gotta keep the positive thoughts. It sucks that theres no meeting until July 10th. Seems so far away. You have my phone number and my e-mail, you can vent anytime you need to. I hope todays a better day for you. ~dori~
