Well...I guess I am eating more that most on this board... Yesterday, I ate 1/2 of a Lean Pocket for breakfast, for lunch I ate one whole soft carne asada taco and the inside of another one, for dinner I ate 1 whole Alaskan King Crab leg....Whew...looking back this is a great deal less than what I formally ate...but alot more than I should eat at this stage

Good morning everyone! Just returned from my surgeon's office and I am down 60 lbs. since surgery and 81 lbs. since my initial consult on January 14th. Blood came back and all levels are great. I am so excited, I am dancing today . Hope all of you have a wonderful day and a great Memorial Day weekend. Best wishes to all of you where ever you are in your journey. Hugs & Dana Lap RNY 2-21-05 260/239/179/130???? P.S. Only 49 lbs. to goal!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm about 3 1/2 months. yesterday i had B-1/3 breakfast burrito (no tortilla) bacon, eggs and cheese L-1/3 hamburger patty with 1/2 slice of cheddar and some brocoli S-Soy crisps, (a 1oz bag) the ones i had have about 14 carbs in a 1oz bag so that's kinda high..but i went to the gym so i don't worry about it much D-four saltines and 1/2 a small wendys chili This was a huge eating day for me, i normally don't have a snack but every now and then i allow one.

WONDERFUL QUESTION, DONNA. I just spent alot of today feeling like i'm eating too much. after reading all the posts i now feel more like i'm closer to normal or average. i have noticed what i can only consider a ravenous hunger. it's quickly quenched. i either chug water or tea. that helps. i had thought i was snacking too much but when i really look at it, i'm not - it just feels that way. i generally start my day at 6 or so with oatmeal, with walnuts added. then about 4 hours later i''ll have sf pudding cup and protein of some kind, about two ounces. by 2 or 3 in the afternoon i have a high protein bar. around 6 i'll have 4 oz of whatever's for supper. turkey, chicken, beef, mostly meat. i have had sf fudgsicle in the evening b4 bedtime (9) in between all of this i'm generally drinking 60 - 80 ounces of water plus 20 ounces of sf tea and 20 ounces of coffee my surgery was 2/8/5 and i'm down about 75 pounds now. i think i'm doing ok but wish i could walk more. i'm still trying to recover from the fractured leg and planter fasciatis in both feet. again, thanks for asking the question. it was good to hear from others at the same stage that we're at. dorthe
