14 pounds down already!

[StaceyAnne]

I had my band op 6 days ago and since I started my pre-op diet I have lost 14 pounds. So pleased ?

Brilliant news. We aren't to far apart on our dates I had mine on the 19th.

 

[StaceyAnne]

And how are you feeling? I am having trouble moving on from scrambled egg and soup at the moment!
Going to try some fish in sauce tonight for dinner ... See how I get on with that!

I'm going ok. Had a different procedure to you I had a bypass. However I had lsd where I lost 14lb ish in 11 days then post operation first week after -8lb and this week -6lb so that's 28lb in 25 days. I am finding it fine whilst I'm off work however the real test on my body will be next week when I start back at work which I'm a little apprehensive about

14lb is great StaceyAnne - sounds like you're doing brilliantly

Well done Stacey Anne! You must be very proud of yourself

 

[StaceyAnne]

I am pleased but haven't lost anything more for a week, but I am now on 'proper' food so that might be why. Dietician said that's normal and once my body adjusts I will start loosing again. I haven't had a band fill yet either!

Brill! Well done hunny! x

 

[StaceyAnne]

Thank you!
I must admit I am finding it hard to reconcile what I can eat and what I want to eat. I have my dinner on a small side plate and can still only eat half of it even though I want the rest. It feels increasingly wasteful to me ? but the dog is loving it lol

 

[Ohtobeslinky]

It's odd isn't it?! I've had a sleeve and my brain still tells me "yeah you can so eat all of that" - then I start and after a few mouthfuls it's all over! I worry my OH is getting fatter as she always finishes off my meals! Oopsy! x

Half a Tea plate is about my limit. I did start out with a full plate and leave half but I am learning the portion size better. Also the portion I can handle seems to change from food to food.

 

[Loving the Loop]

I try and serve smaller portions now I know what I can handle. I still have a problem leaving food on the plate even when I know I have had enough (I blame my mum for that one, lol), think its better if its not there in the first place.

 

[Ohtobeslinky]

Loving the loop - I'm so with you on that one! If it's not on the plate then I don't feel bad about leaving it. Went out for works lunch on Wednesday and had no control over the portion size - had to leave over half of the food on my plate and felt like a numpty when asked "was it ok?" and I replied "oh yes, delicious"! The waitress must have thought I was a right weirdo!
