Hiya
I am doing OK...I am about 4months on now since my op and have lost 4stone and am on target. I am not finding it easy though, it is a very emotional journey.
After my operation, I did think naively that it would do all the work for me because I was not hungry or interested in food at all, but now it is very different and all the old behavioural habits are still there and I have got to learn to work with it and in a way it is like learning to eat again. I am trying to be mindful about getting all my protein into my diet, which can be hard sometimes getting the right amount, but I am trying to look at the backs of labels to see how much protein is in there.
I do still turn to 'comfort foods' when I am stressed out/fed up/in pain etc and I know this is something that I really need to work on to change and find other ways of dealing with it.
Having this op has totally changed my life though, and it was definitely on of the best decisions I have ever made and I am so pleased I have had this done- it actually feels like I AM going to get there and that there is a slim and healthy me in the future that I am getting closer to all the time!!
I have attached a couple of piccies- one is of me before I had my op at my heaviest and the other is of me now, where I have just been on a holiday in Palma

Proudly maintaining
Lizzie you look so much healthier in the second photo! You can see signs of organ strain in your before piccie, but not in the second. Huge improvement, well done
Have you thought about popping on to the Bypass Daily Menus thread and recording what you eat? Sometimes it helps to see it written down, and if you want feedback you can ask for it. Or try a website like www.foodfocus.co.uk where you can log everything you eat for free and it breaks it down into calories/fat/carbs/protein etc.

Wow Lizzie, your pictures show that you are doing great hun. Shel has given some excellent advice. I guess its going to be a constant battle trying to eat healthily. Theres nothing wrong with a little of what you fancy - as long as you keep working towards your goals and dont lose sight of them.
