I hope everyone is well, I rarely check in because of my hectic schedule! I always tell myself to check in here because in the beginning I KNOW I wouldn't have made it without all of the support I found in OUR forum!!
I do have a "girlie" question. Do any of you notice that your cycles have become very regular? Well, mine has since I got below 300lbs back in October or so. HOWEVER, this month, I'm about 4 or 5 days late. Of course I took a pregnancy test because I am an adult that does adult things (stupidly). But, the test is negative which I was happy about. I know we shouldn't get pregnant for at least 18 months or so. Anyway, it's very strange that I went from an on-time exact 28 days to being late.....any insight?
Thanks and KISSES!
I eat Wayyyy more than 2 ounces. I eat until I feel full. Which is what I thought I was supposed to be doing. But I guess not, according to the nurse she told me that we can stretch out the opening into the stomach. Meaning more food passes through. It makes that feeling of fullness go away. She said that the danger is between 6 months - 1 year post op. I had no idea! I was eating because I thought this was what I was supposed to do. Eat until my pouch felt full. I was eating the wrong things (this I knew was wrong). Carbs mostly. I am off the carbs this week. I am going to try to eat just protein. But I am struggling with just 2 ounces. I am starving if I do that. :( So I am eating the protein and hoping this will kick my weight loss into gear again. I am so close to the finish line. I am afraid I am going to mess it all up. :( I don't ever want to go back to the way I was.

So far I have eaten chicken, and hamburger. And the only snack food I have eaten is sugar free popcicles. It's hard because I want to eat salty snacks. I will give this a try and hopefully will be back on track soon. It's day two and still the scale hasn't moved.
I am eating wayyy to much. The doctor tells me I should still be eating just 2 ounces a meal. Well I am eating way more than that. I am still hungry after 2 ounces. So did the surgery not work for me? Why am I still hungry?
Any advice? Anyone else having these issues?
I'm still trucking along. I've fallen into the habit of only eating a few times a day. I don't my protein in or my water in EVER. I'm still losing, but much slower than I was before. I also don't do any form of exercising right now. Stress crept into my life in a horrible way, and now I'm working on straightening myself out!
I know everything I *should* be doing, and I can preach for hours to others, but as far as taking my own advice..umm oops.
