WHAT ARE YOU HAVING FOR DINNER TONIGHT? Tell us! And how long is it since your sleeve?

First topic message reminder :

I thought this would be a good thread to give early sleevers some hope that eventually life will be normal again!

I am seven months and 3 weeks out, and tonight I am munching on melted cheese and ham on toast with relish (one piece is all I can manage). I might have a bowl (small) of ice cream in an hour if I get peckish later!

2 years plus.

Been at goal for 12 months....added a little weight (10% common and allowed for this).

Tonight I had a woolies bought yogurt and blueberry thing. Should be for brekkie I guess, but it filled me up, had lots of calcium and did the job. Feel better for eating clean...

12 days out - early dinner of a smoothie with isowhey vanilla, 200ml milk, 2 strawberries, 1/3 banana.

Still drinking it 1.5 hours later!

It's my son's 13th birthday party. I just ate a piece of satay chicken pizza, which would have been ok but then I ate the toppings off half of my sons piece he didn't want. Never eat your children's leftovers! Now I'm extra full.

2 scrambled eggs on a bit of LSA. trying to cut the carbs back a bit. Had a couple of spoons of ice cream when I got some for my son's dessert........so much for trimming the carbs :(

Fell off the wagon, had a slice of pizza (thin crust).
It tasted good and has sat well in my tummy.

Will have to redeem myself tomorrow!!

Melissa I have found the same re the 3 bites of foodthing ...but the intake for me is still small compared to an unsleeved person. As long as your losing weight or maintaining I dont think it matters. I learned a long time ago that the worste thing we can do is compare ourselves to someone else.

I have also noted that the 3 bites syndrom is usually in people with the 32 bougie...I have a large 34 so more a 36 which allows for a bit more food...not heaps of food but more than your couple of Tablespoons... as my doc said as long as what I put into it is healthy and protein geared it wont ever be an issue.

heres to hoping so eh!

Oh and I would sooooooo travel just to eat that meal!

It was delicious, I live in Berry on the NSW south coast, we went to Berry Woodfired Sourdough Bakery, they have a chef that comes from Sydney 3 nights a week. I feel it is a little bit concerning though as some people only seem to have 3 bites of food and they are full, that doesn't seem to be the case with me, having said that some days I eat very little. Of course fine dining restaurant food is often like lean cuisine unlike pub food which mega sized am I doing a good job of justifing my eating lol?

Was planning on having steak, but Hubby came home from work with the 'man flu' and is not hungry. He ate a couple of sausages that I cooked for the kids in bread.

I am not actually hungry yet, so might have a poached egg a bit later.
