Topic: RE: Poll- how much can you eat now
I can eat A LOT of food at once, but ONLY if I drink all the way thru the meal.
If I do the 30/20/30, then I can't eat much at all!! My nose still runs if I overeat and I still dump. I went thru a "spell" where I could eat any amount and anything and the dumping syndrome had left, or so I thought, but what really had happened was I was dehydrated and craving salt SO MUCH that I landed myself in the hospital.
My goal: no carbs/low carbs, PROTEIN and NO DRINKING with my meals
I still have a hard time with that because I eat everything spicy. lol
Topic: RE: Poll- how much can you eat now
I can eat way to much, a 6 inch subway sandwhich and an apple easily, and then eat other 6 inches 2 hours later! I eat round 2000-2500 calories a day, goal is 1500-2000, but only maintains my weight. I need to be around 1200 I think. I weigh 255 now so I'm not sure how many cal/protien I need a day
Topic: RE: Not sure what to do
I too have found myself gaining a bit of weight from 225 to now 255, that really hurts. I worked so hard (and so did you). I'm really searching myself for why I"m eating, and trying to remind myself of my goals, and what I enjoyed doing at my lowest weight. I am now looking into looking for support and meal planning to lose the weight AGAIN. I'll be your buddy!
Topic: year #4, pain after meals
Hi
Does anyone get pain after eating every meal, below waistline. Sometimes gurgly, then persistent pain that goes away in an hour or so and sometimes diarrhea or just the cramps that come before the diarrhea.. This is new to me and I am 4 years out from surgery date 1/19/05. I worried I am getting an ulcer

Topic: Not sure what to do
My surgery was Jan 2005. Alot of stuff has happened since then my smallest that I got down to was 230. Well now I am back up to 282. I am trying to regain control but it seems as if I have let all my old habits come back. I am complusively eating again.... and I hate it. I have started finding my self eating again anytime I am bored or overly tired. So I try not to let myself get there but man its hard. Does anyone else or has anyone else had this happen?
Any advice on what to do? I am scared that I will get back up to my heaviest weight.

Hi Mitzi,
I am eating only 6 to 8 ozs per meal. I use a small saucer as my plate. I get full after about 5 bits. So my stomach is still small. I eat about 1500 calories a day and that is my goal calories.
Best wishes,
Tammie
Topic: RE: HI TO ALL MY 3-1/2 YEAR FRIENDS!!!!!!
Aloha Pat,
I know what you are going through my pouch seems like I can eat eveything . After loosing the 100 lbs and I started at 331 lba and now I weigh 238 + or - a couple of lbs. But it really scary and I workout 2-3 per week when I wasn't doing that. But it seems like my menopause was clashing with my wls. the hot flashes are terrible The cycle couple on when it feels like July 2007, April 2008 and now here it is again Aug 2008. It's so annoying. Basically I am just starting menopause. 
The things we women go through. Good Luck

Topic: RE: Three 3yrs and Counting. Same Size Pouch!
greetings
wow, size 0 -- that's almost scary to me. i hope you can control the loss so it doesn't go further.
as to pouch size, i can definitely eat more than you are. i haven't done any of those many tests you read about on the main board, but just guessing, i'd say my pouch holds a cup to a cup and a third maybe. it seems to vary by the density of the food consumed, of course.
best of luck to you.
