healthy diet easier to follow after Sleev ???
i am an Addtict to this site.... i wanna understand one thing.....
i see people can easily follow an healthy diet after Sleev .. as in first protein , than less of carb etc... is that people dont crave ?
all i wanna know is if we know how to follow an healthy diet .. cant we still follow the same without having an surgery?
if yes thn why surgery
if not how can surgery help you to stick on to your health diet
have also people posting that commitment is on top priority after surgery, i guess everyone knows commitment is very important which is very difficult to keep up now ( without surgery) how is that aspect changing after surgery ? how can one keep up their commitment to follow particular diet? is it easy? after surgery
:)
anyways have my surgery scheduled on 13th guys :) love you all
I find that as long as I still measure my portions, and eat the protein first, I'm good. If I guess at portion size, I sometimes go over what I should have. I've been at goal since June. I don't feel like I am "dieting" anymore - this is just my new normal way of life, but I do stop and think (most of the time) before I pick the bad stuff. I eat more veggies than I ever did and way less junk than I ever did. I will continue to track my intake. It's easier to maintain if I make small adjustments now and then to calorie/carb intake. I do have treats now and then. I don't keep many snack type foods in the house because once I do have them, I crave them. But overall, I find it much easier to maintain than I expected.
I forgot to add that when I'm having cravings or really hungry, I start off by having a cup of tea or other drink. If I'm still hungry after that, I might have something. The hunger varies. Sometimes I go more than half the day without eating, and then need to play catch up with the protein. It's so hard to imagine what it's like after the surgery. I think you just have to experience it firsthand to understand.
It has been such a blessing for me. I am so much healthier than I was when I started. I was very fortunate to have such a great doctor and that everything went well for me.
Good luck!
I am having surgery on March 7th! I hope this is how it will be with me!
