What are you eating??

I'm coming up on my *gasp* six month mark and my Doc and Nut have said since I'm still losing I'm doing things right, but I still worry (obsess). I'm eating what seems like "normal" amounts of food...not much junk, except HC fudge bars...no bread or pasta....lots of fresh fruit and veggies, mostly ground beef for protein...oh yea, and I'm still doing a morning shake most days. I'm getting 70-8-g of protein, 70 or so oz water and 900-1100 calories a day. I'm doing the fit day thing religiously now. I just talked to someone who's date was close to mine and she's getting 600 cal per day and still doing soft foods. This kinda scares me, am I mucking this thing up? Anywho, figured I'd check in with other's "near" me and see...what are you eating in a day? Kel

I get about the same amount of calories, protein, and water as you. I occasionally have bread and pasta, I have fruit and vegetables everyday, and my main source of protein is fat free dairy. I love cheese, milk, and eggs! My weight-loss is doing fine, too. I also exercise everyday, maybe that is why I can eat this amount and still lose. Becky

Kel, You're not "mucking" anything up, you're doing just fine and look great. I don't count calories, I mainly track protein, which is what my doc wants. But I eat a lot of tuna and chicken, he's not let me have red meat yet so I don't do ground beef, although I would really love to have a good old juicy hamburger one of these days. I don't do bread or pasta either, the one time I had a few noodles in some soup, I got the worst pouch pain so I won't be trying pasta again. And I do a bar or smoothie several times a week when I've not gotten enough protein in a day. I've averaging between 60-75 grams protein and about the same for ounces of water. I really need to up my water. Remember, different surgeons have different diet and exercise plans, so don't worry too much about what someone else is eating. Toni

I feel that same as you. I was 5 mos. out as of yesterday. I am down 76 lbs. and losing steadily every week. I eat basically what I want, and I am having a little trouble wanting to snack. Apparently it is a coping mechanism. Cheri
