Wow you can eat all that and still lose? I had visions of two tablespoons for

along time. Thanks for your response.

Hi Kathie,

We still love to eat...... of course now I look at what my family is

eating and think to myself.... " You're going to eat THAT......and you're going to

eat THAT MUCH!!!!!! " Your perspective on food changes but you'll still be able

to eat normally. You just won't eat as much. My hubby and I split entrees at

restaurants, it works out fine.

Love,

Genz

For a long time - 7 weeks or so - I had no desire to eat. Then the hunger

returned. I still eat.

I eat just about anything I like..but much much less of it. And when I'm

finished, I feel

satisfied. In another few hours I'm usually hungry again...so I eat again.

I still put lots of food on my plate. There's always a plate with Saran wrap on

it in the frig. I

only eat 1/2 of Lean Cuisine..I love to go out for dinner. I order, just eat way

less and take

the rest home for lunch the next day. My husband is gaining weight...because of

all I'm not

eating. But bottom line is that my taste seems to have changed and I am

satisfied after I eat.

Kathie,

The first positive thing my husband said was " I m surprised of how

much I can eat " Some meals I m eating like a queen.example 2 lobster

tails 3 oz eac salad with dressing half baked potatoe with butter and

a glass of water all with in 70 minutes, oh I had dessert also huge

strwberries 4. The food sat hi I had one strawberry too many but in

15 minutes and walking around I felt great.

I had head hunger the first month and did everything within reason to

satisfy my cravings. Sometimes the food sits heavy (with pork fried

rice) or if I ate too much and other times I have no problems eating

a regular normal to small size portion meal, ya know like an average

thin person would eat.

The first 2 weeks I was getting slight pain in my jaws from lack

of chewing but somehow that went away.--- I chew some more crackers.

Food is no longer my priority , it's my relationships with LIFE in

general that keep changing!

and I love it....It's like I m 19 again,

Good Luck

Prayers

Thanks Flo, This message wasn't intended for me but it sure is good news!

I'm only 11 days post and food just isn't my friend anymore!!!! I wondered

if food would ever be good again?

I'm at the unbelievable stage of saying " oh yeah I got to eat something!! "

LOL
