I haven't been keeping up with it so far. But I've not been keeping up here either. I will give it another serious go this week. I'm trying to track more in general, as usual hahaha So far taking a moment to look through I can't see how to stop that. But I think I understand the intention of it because they "intend" you to…

Welcome!

It's fun! I've just started trying it out and like how it makes me think.

I know... Overeating way too much that one time was horrible.

So far I've not come across anything that give me trouble specifically unless I don't chew enough or have too big a bite without thinking. I've even been able to enjoy some diet gingerale again.

I've tried and just don't enjoy as much lol shocking, I know.

I had the lapband for 12 years and had it removed in the fall 2018. My sleeve happened April 19th of this year. I'm pleased so far.

Had a multi-NSV over the past couple of days. At the doc for a pain treatment and when I dropped my (way too big) capris, my panties almost fell off! I'm back in the next size down of panties again! The today I finally was able to fit a previously too small top on! Hubby says again he can see the difference. So exciting!

Ice cream has certainly been so lately ... It spawned so much secret eating. I'm talking with my therapist about trying to change that. Brutal...

I have had it once and it was totally from over eating and fast eating a treat of French Toast and bacon ordered in. Hubby was craving pancakes and I was all on board. Oh yeah and a hasbrown... Way too much food in. Horrible pain... Sliming like crazy. I had the band from 12 years and used to get 'stuck' a lot from not…

Welcome! How's healing going @jessi91473 ?

Oh the snack on the way to bed!! Yesss... I'm guilty of that too. Stuffing my face after he's closed the door while I tidy up the cat stuff. Such a bad habit. And this weekend the secret eating of ice cream was record high... :(

You have done amazing! You may be stalled but you will get there. Tracking is a big help. I know because my weightloss is slower when I don't track... which is often... >.> You got this!

Oh that is a tough one for me too. We haven't travelled in a few years now and have no plans to in the. Near future as starting in the fall I'll be getting my knees replaced... That said, hubby takes long weekends and we will indulge in uncommon menus at times. Like a tradition for the fourth weekend is hotdogs... Ice…

I would say that trying to practice mindful eating is a big one. I still struggle with it. A small plate and small bites of food then chewing really well is a good thing to practice as well. As said above, it is still harder to change these things after the surgery but different as well. Your body will tell you (after…

I'm not much for Manhattan. I've been less than a handful of time since moving here alm65 years ago. We're in a lovely neighborhood in Brooklyn. Great to walk around when I could walk... 🙄

Just the 14oz chocolate and a whole banana with 5 ice cubes. Sooooo good!

Welcome! I'm only 7 weeks out myself from my gastric sleeve. Happy for more folks here as well! Friend request coming! Edit: no friend request button. I'll check back later. :)

NYC here but originally from Canada. ;)

So I finally remembered to get bananas! This morning I blended my premier chocolate shake with some ice and a banana and wow is it yummy!

Ack! Sorry to hear you've been feeling bad. So when I have a sick day/bad pain day, I tend to shut down... I am often a real "push through the pain" person but somedays I just can't. You have to take care of you. If you're sick you're sick so you need to rest. Take time. Do a bit less than usual. That's more how I do. Like…

You got this! You recognize it so that is the first big step.

A big NSV for me was talking to the nutritionist and my surgeon for the month post-op milestone. I had been all in my head, worrying I wasn't losing reasonably and eating too much already. I'm apparently right on track and based on what I told her am eating the right amount at meals and snacks. Right now I'm aiming for…

Nice! Rock it!

Yep, IBS-C here... I've had Miramax in the past. Right now he's added a couple of weeks worth of the stool softener and I'm trying to bulk things up with metamucil a couple of times a day. Two tsp a day basically in between meals. I'm also trying to squeeze in some acorn squash when I can. I'm not a fan of beans unless…

Thanks. I do generally like meal planning and know it would help me tremendously overall. With eating properly and regularly but also to build routine, which I do well in. I need to stop weighing myself so often... It's detrimental, I know it. But I'm so eager to see the change! Gah! My constipation was relieved yesterday…

So far my planning has been non-existent... I just eat what I feel like whipping together when I feel like it. I'm worried... Am I already falling back into old habits? I haven't lost any weight in days now. It's disheartening.

I need to follow this example! I need to develop a good routine. I do better with a routine. I do tend to get enough sleep most nights. It's remembering to eat that is a struggle for me. I can't do much walking at the moment because both of my knees are so sore. I'm also still trying not to do tooich too soon as I'm…

Making a smoothie with Banana and ice... Maybe some peanut butter powder... With the protein shake sounds like a great idea! I hope it helps you if you try it. I think I'll give that a try myself.

Welcome! Always great to have someone else around!
