[Paula Garner]

Ahh it's lovely to hear from you Shelley. I hope your sickness stops soon xx.

I've been having a tight feeling around my pouch area lately. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I have a follow up appt at the hospital next week, so I'll mention it to the consultant.

Yummy menu Paula.

My menu today. Feeling focused after seeing my surgeon yesterday. Struggling with eating fruit at the moment as it doesn't go down well but will try again next time I go shopping. Managed not to be sick today.

Breakfast - 3 crackers. 2 with feta on and one with extra light flora.
Lunch - 1 slice of home made pizza toast topped low fat cheese, with tuna and olives. Eaten in two parts.
Dinner - will be home made chicken curry with kale instead of rice.

Tea, soy milk and a glass of trop 50 50

What's trop 50/50?

 

[Yvessa]

This will sound mad Paula, but I swear my capacity is now smaller than it used to be.

I've been feeling like that lately. It's a weird sensation. It feels tight and sore. I don't know if smaller capacity is a good or a bad thing though :-/

 

[shelleymarie]

Thank you. Yeah my capacity seems smaller now than it was, although to be honest it has always been on the small side I'm just wondering if you settle more to your true capacity over time. I don't know it's all confusing even after a year lol. One of the reason's I'm against having the Stretch done is still got a lot to lose so we will see how it goes. Oh trop 50 is lower sugar fresh orange juice. I can drink a small glass without dumping without water.

 

[Yvessa]

I think some of it may be due to being more aware of how everything feels and not wanting to push it. I know I had some inflammation due to recent meds which didn't help because I was getting pain with eating and nausea. I also think that in the hotter weather we're probably making drier choices.

 

[shelleymarie]

That could be it plus you definitely try more as types of food as time goes on.

I've just realised my bmI has gone below 35. No longer morbidly obese. Just obese lol.

 

[Yvessa]

Wow well done hon Still a ways to go for me :/

Ha ha celebrating being obese. It's these bits that keep you going. Can't wait to be overweight! If I can make it. I'm sure we all will.

HI ALL just been reading your posts, so sorry to hear you all not doing to good on the eating front. I do have restriction still. I think you are right Yvessa, the drier the food the tighter the restriction the less food we consume. I still have my meals on my tea plate, but still question am I eating too much, I enjoy dinner and have had shepherds pie for lunch, because it is an easy food to eat even with the veg, I can eat the plate, yet if I had chicken or beef slices, then I would not make it on to the carbs at all just make sure I ate meat then the veg. I am fortunate not to be someone who throws up still to greedy to be sick. I am doing ok though my weight has not moved hardly since Christmas just playing with same few pounds, but I am happy I am a size 18 5ft 6, weigh between 14st 4lb and 14st 9lb. Its not as low as a lot of people but I have to remember I have eaten healthy for years just in larger quantities, so for me my body is used to good stuff. The changes were made years ago on that front. I do treat myself to sweet things moist days now but no where near in the amount I would have had that goes for any food. My alcohol intake has really gone down as well. I did think once that I would be skinny but have come to realise for me this is skinny my body does not wish to go any further so I have become content with what I have achieved. Some days I feel bit jealous that most people get to be nice n slim I am always guna be on the larger side, but if I lost any more my face would become gaunt and I don't want that, everyone that knows me says I look really well and can't believe the difference so that keeps me going. THink my BMI is bout 31.

B 1 WEETABIX,
S GRAPES
L SHEPHERDS PIE, WITH CARROTS, ONIONS, SPRING CABBAGE, AND TURNIP

D 1 BAG OF NOUGHTS N CROSSES, DAIRYLEA DUNKER

Everyone is definitely different Chris. Not just how we eat or what we eat but our shapes and sizes. Because I'm so petite I still look very big considering how much I've lost.

The difference will always be knowing when you've had a rubbish day and trying to convince yourself you haven't. That you deserve a day off or what ever. You seem aware and plan to do better tomorrow. That seems normal to me. You can't be perfect all the time. If you know that, you can work on being the best you can be. I've have had take aways over the last year several times but I try and make up for it with exercise or being extra careful with food after. You can do the same for the rest of the day and so on and I know it won't help right now but gains are so normal. I've had loads but also tons of big loses. Time of the month etc. Anything can cause changes. Best of luck for tomorrow.

 

[Yvessa]

I agree completely with Shelley on this. And on the bad days - we all have them. Don't beat yourself up, let it go, better tomorrow

Don't beat yourself up over it Fiona. It's nowhere near as much as you would have eaten in the past!! Its still diddly portions! As long as you haven't made yourself ill, it's fine. You're not doing it day in day out, so I'd say its happened, and tomorrow is another day xx

 

[fjsinc]

Thank you, you're very kind. I'm not really beating myself up, as I know its just today, and there will always be the odd bad food days. That's life I feel pretty much in control of things, so I'm ok with my intake. What is doing my head in is that I have gained 4 lbs AND 4 inches! I know its water, I can feel it. I think I may be having something close to a "cycle" which is new for me, but I wont believe it until I see it. This may go some way to explain my uncharacteristic anger and food choices too, lol.
