The excitment of the surgery is behind you and now reality is settling in that you'll still have to do the work. It gets better! Once you get good restriction, it is pretty easy to follow a reasonable food plan. I seldom want to overeat anymore. Maybe a couple of times a month.<br /><br />Although everyone is different, I haven't really changed my food and eating that much. There are no foods that I cannot eat. I eat the same foods I ate before the surgery, just much smaller quantities. I've always tried to eat helthy foods most of the time. I refuse to eat sugar free and low fat stuff. I think real food is much more satisfying than chemically treated foods. I eat regular butter, cream in my coffee, full fat cheeses, etc. I've lost 92+ lbs. since February and have just 8 lbs. to go!Amanda Kiskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035180757671095192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515870937034150451.post-42634229988655501782010-11-09T13:42:08.160-08:002010-11-09T13:42:08.160-08:00Hi Em.

My clinic recommends that book Knife, Fork, Band. I think I will try to get it. I've only had one fill so far and haven't had any PBing. YOu've just got to be careful at first like you were post op and then you get the hang of it.<br /><br />I am jealous about the attention from the opposite sex! I am so hoping that my band helps in that department. I have been single way too long.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />V. http://the-babbling-bandit.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862647761810468815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515870937034150451.post-59634504115960146542010-11-09T11:43:52.594-08:002010-11-09T11:43:52.594-08:00aww awesome stuff em, well ok, not ALL of it is aw...aww awesome stuff em, well ok, not ALL of it is awesome but ur making so much progress, ill come see u when i get back!!! xosophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368447341403994617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515870937034150451.post-45151322041779111352010-11-08T20:42:16.727-08:002010-11-08T20:42:16.727-08:00You are doing great em, and if you have been havin...You are doing great em, and if you have been having ladies issues for a few weeks there is a huge chance that you are low on iron... that in itself makes u feel tired, sluggish and emotionally sensitive (I know all about having low iron!!)
