Topic: RE: ADVISE
Connie,
Put your fears to rest... Most of us have thought that at some time or another during our journey & rest assured, you will feel that way again! Just go through the library and check out all the "stretched pouch" questions and begin to read the plethora of answers.
At this stage - we ARE eating more. When I was a month or two post-op, I was lucky to get in 500 calories a day. My body would go into starvation mode now if I only ate that much! I try to aim for about 1000 calories, but allow my body to fluctuate daily as it needs to. Some days I eat a little more, some days I eat a little less. I stick to the rules though - protein first, veggies, then a few bites of starch or whatever else is being served.
Not to worry! I'm sure you are doing great - just believe in yourself a little more!
