Sounds like you had a great day. I agree, I think eating dense protein and veggies fills you up faster and your stomach gets used to it and shrinks back down. If it can stretch out when we eat too much, it surely can shrink back.

Could be all in my mind.
My weigh in will be interesting this week. TMI my cycle was on this wk as well.
Due to the constipation, I had to incorporate some foods, veggies. I am pretty much doing the liquids all day. I did have some peanut butter crackers.
Tonight I had a my "Applewood chix strips/ salad.
I guess I should leave the "cob" part out?
Tasty. Got super full, really fast.
Lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, blue cheese feta, sweet onion dressing.
B- Protein shake, Vits.
L - Green tea/water 1/2 gallon today.
S- Peanut butter crackers
S- Fiber One bar.
D- Applewood chix. strip salad

Family functions can be hard.
Don't beat your self up, you were able to jump right back on the wagon.
It happens. I used to work in a bakery. I work in a grocery store every weekend. (Cashier) I see all kinds of foods, the good, bad, and the healthy selections. Food is all around us. My mom wants pasta tuna salad for Mother's day? What shall I do?
I been starring at all the good lunch the kiddos had for lunch this wk. at school. It was really hard when I had lunch duty this week.
We are here for you no matter what.
Peace

Sounds like a plan.
I was never good at actually measuring.
Even tonight I called my self making a part 2 of my cob salad. Was eating 5 mins. if that and got super full.
I just stopped. It was may have been 2 cups of salad if that? Dense protein with the applewood chix. strips? I had eggs on it too, but I did not eat all the eggs on my plate.
And the experts on the MB claim that you can't shrink your pouch by doing the liquid diet?
Well then someone explain why after a few bites am I full like in the beginning after wls.
If this helps me to my new goal, then I am all for it.
No matter what I am taking it day by day.
Peace.

Hi Botts,
Today I've decided to start having 2 shakes a day and 2 meals. It will be easier to get my protein in and lower my calories create and habits that will work for me long term. I'm also going to measure my food more carefully, no more than a cup of food, dense protein first. Also I'm terrible about drinking water so I'm making sure I get my 8 glasses in.
B shake
L 1 egg, 2 egg whites, 1oz cheese and half a cup of veggies
D 3 oz ground meat, 1/2 cup cooked carrots and 2 oz baked sweet potato fries
S egg in a hole
Dinner changed, ended up having 1024 calories and 79 protein
Take care,
Edie

Good to know. I will try measuring 1 cup of food and see if it helps me. Thanks, Tri

The experts on the MB, claim your pouch can't shrink?
However I am thinking differently after tonight.
I had a 3 egg spinach & onions omelette. Next 2 eggs I was being greedy! It was so good. And I am very full. Actually stuffed, so you tell me.
The experts also said, something about eating the more protein dense foods, will keep me full longer, but that no restriction shrinkage was not going to happen.
I don't agree at all. I feel the difference. Literally. I don't care what the so called experts say? Perhaps it's all in my mind? What ever works at this point.
As they say everyone is different.
Thanks for your support.

I was finally able to get some Maralax! Works wonder.
Thanks for your contiued support.
Yes, I feel safe here. Thank you!
Since my "stuck" incident. I am sticking to the liquids during the day, and some veggies & more protein in the eves. I don't ever what to experience that again in life.
Day 2 of a walk today.
I got my son's his new bike, for an early bday. (It's in June). So I am easily influenced to go out after school.
Especially on those nice days. Nothing drastic, just getting into the grove.
Today was:
Vits. PS, green tea, water, (2 fiber bars!! ) after school snack.
Dinner: Spinach & egg omelette with onions, blue cheese crumbs, and sliced cherry tomatoes.
It was so good! 3 eggs! I am super full, being greedy. Next time 2 eggs only. Waiting to make a small PS.
Feeling much better today.
Chat soon!

Hi Botts,
Yesterday was not a good day for me food wise. I made potato salad and baked a cake for my sister's birthday party. She loves to bake and does everyone else's cakes and does a beautiful job. I made hers because you shouldn't bake your own birthday cake! But I decided I'd better stay away from baking, it was way too tempting for me.
I'm sure I had too many calories but I also know it could have been a lot worse. I took a bit of everything but didn't eat it all. Today was not perfect but much better. I have to be careful not to slip into bad habits again.
B McDonald's breakfast burrito
L half Wendy's chicken and mozzarella salad
D pork chop, rice and peas
Take care,
Edie
