I had my surgery the day before you and here is what I usually eat Breakfast- Yogurt with calcium citrate added snack- almonds or peanuts lunch- 1/4 to 1/2 cup chilli or 1/4 cup refried beans with cheese added to both, sometimes I just have shrimp with garlic about 5-7 pieces depending on the size snack-a couple crackers or nuts dinner- about an ounce of meat of some type usually pork(Goes in the best) a bite of whatever potato is made and a few bites of a veggie snack- yogurt with calcium citrate again I drink water all day long. I like plain water over anything else. some days I dont do the nuts or crackers but I always have my yogurt to get in the calcium. If I am having a low protien day I will make a fruit smoothie with protien powder added. It is getting easier now. I can eat just about anything I want to try. I do not however eat sugar. I have not tried it and plan to stay away from it. Some days I am hungry all day it seams, other days I get full faster. The yogurt never really gives a filling feeling unless I eat a 1/2 banana with it. Good luck. I have lost a total of 63 lbs. now-Kathleen

Topic: RE: How much can you eat?

I can eat 4-6 oz of meat. I usually have a protein shake for breakfast, turkey chili with cheese or Chikfila Grilled chicken (not the bread) for lunch, for dinner, I pretty much eat whatever boyfriend cooks. Usually chicken, pork, or shrimp. I don't eat potatoes, but I have sneaked and ate corn on cob....Oh it is so sinful and I can eat it without butter. Anyway, I don't dump either, but I allow myself the fruit popsicles or the fudge pops with no added sugar. I think my problem is the fluid. I get a chickfila cup each morning at work and drin****water w/ walmart's version of Crystal Light to go Fruit Punch. It is so awesome and sugar free. It's much better than the lemonade or peach tea, or even rasberry ice. The only thing is everyone in Charlotte is catching on to it and it is hard to get or keep instock at Walmart Supercenters. Somedays I eat a powercruch bar for snack around 3. (you can order it from the advertisement at the bottom of the screen) It taste like those cream filled sugar wafers and they are soooooo good. Anyway, obviously what I am eating isn't working since I am currently stuck in rut. But that's what I eat. When I am on the go or traveling, I usually try to get Chili from Wendy's.

Susan, no sweetie you are not the only one like that. I also have not felt hunger, or what I would consider hunger. I eat my 3 meals a day and every once in a while I'll have a 1/2 cheese stick or 2-3 almonds or beef jerkey. My meals are usually between 1 - 2 oz and I have to remind myself to eat. They consist of lean meats and green leafy vegetables. I am 13 weeks out also and down 56 lbs since surgery, down 77 lbs since first consult on 1/14/05. I have no desire to eat carbs and when I smell fried foods I get nauseated. I am so hoping that stays around for a while because pre-op I was a rice and potato girl.

Topic: RE: How much can you eat?

This is a good post, I often wonder what others eat. I only eat twice a day. I have still not had hunger, so that helps. But I have found my whole attitude about food has changed. I can only eat 2-3 ozs at best, and fixing food is a lot of trouble for such a little bit. I have two protien shakes made with Moo-topia (a milk my grogery store carries that is low sugar, added protien) and whey protien powder. That gives me 31 grams of protien for 8 ozs. Then I add a scoop of whey to 8 ozs of Crystal Light to get in 17 grams more. I have only had one protien shake so far today, no food yet. I don't know what I might have. Nothing ever sounds good! Am I the only one that feels like that? I am 13 weeks out today. I have lost 77 pounds so far. I reckon we are all just learning as we go, and doing the best we can! Hugs, Susan

I can eat all the bad food.

I'm a very bad girl when it comes to carbs. However those are the only food that seem to stay down and doesn't make me want to

I can eat 1/4 of a meal. About 3-4 oz of chicken with hot sauce. I don't know what is worng with me. But I always want hot sauce.

Plus I just started to notice that I am a late night eater still. So I'm going to have to stop that.

I'm just going to have to go to bed early now. So I won't eat late anymore. I keep hitting plateau and the weight hasn't move it 2 weeks. I'm very anger about that. But I just keep on trying. I know I'm going to able to lose all of the weight.

Topic: RE: weight gain

tell me about it. When it comes to unrealistic expectation I seem to be good at it. Anyway, I know the rest of this weight is going to come off. I just hope it is sooner then later.

I'm hanging in there. I'm not giving up hope. Thank you Maria
