[b]So I’m on day three, I’ve had a lot of hunger during my 2 days of 5dpt, but I know that it is because I was (am) a Carb addict. I was going to do a 3^rd day of liquids but it is too much for me. So, today I had a soft boil egg and a protein bread (no flour bread) toasted. That is what I had after my WLS, I did liquids for almost two weeks because I had a leak, so I was not able to eat solids until the leak healed… ok, so today eating the egg and toast filled me up!!! I felt my pouch and that is what was needed, getting in touch with my pouch. WOW what a great filling, to feel full… I’m loving it



I am 10 years post op… and trust me it has been a while since I’ve felt my pouch. Due to all that snacking, I just snacked all day long; it is the way to regain the weigh… I call it the Snacking Zone. I will tell you the truth, I used to work out 6 days a week and dance 4 nights a week, so I was able to eat what I wanted, but then 3 years ago my life took a turn and I stop doing all the exercising, but kept on eating and here I am 50 pound heavier. I do not weigh myself because I found it made me loca (crazy) So I use my clothes to tell me that I’ve lost weigh. I do now that I’m weighing in at 185 because I went to the doctor two weeks ago… when my size 12 jeans fit lose on my waist I’m down to 178.

I need all the support I can get

I’m still new to moving around this web site. So I don’t know if I should say thank you to every reply. So I’m saying it ahead of time. Thank you for being here for me[/b]
