Topic: RE: diet after 2 years
so are you maintaing weight right now or are you still losing weight? I think I need to play around with the "diet" from my post and see what helps me to lose weight.
Thanks for your reply.

My doctor says never more than 1,000 calories the rest of my life. Always get 60 grams of protein and then nonstarch veggies then fruit.

For me it depends what the meal is. I have seen myself eat a salad and piece of meat one night and the next day eat an entire sandwich.
I have not been doing good with breakfast lately, they keep discontinuing my darn yogurt.
If I eat a crab cake I can do two three ounce ones and a salad but not to much more. I have been also drinking with my meals.
Someone at work is doing the Eat for your blood type diet but everything I love I can not eat. I am just at a loss as well and trying not to get to discouraged over 8 lbs. Holding onto this has not been to bad and it could be worse.

Topic: diet after 2 years
Hello all of you.
I have not been around for about a year now. No computer at home, it crashed. Now I have a new one but not internet yet, so I am at work. Any way the names on here do not look familiar to me so I am really lost.
I am posting today because I have a diet question. What and how much is everyone eating, the ones that are still trying to lose weight? I'd like to know about carbs, protein especially, how many calories and percents. I have gained 10 pounds back and so I have actually 20 pounds to lose. My surgeon is out of the country and I never had a nutritionist. So I am looking to all of you for some advice. Basically I had stopped weighing my food and really paying attention, I thought that I was really watching but not really, if you know what I mean. I just started yesterday with this plan:
B-3 oz protein
2 oz starch
2 oz fruit
L-3 oz protein
2 oz fruit
2 oz vegetable
D 3 oz. protein
2 oz vegetable
2 oz starch
I am hoping that I might see results but I don't know if I am doing it right.
Tahnk s for any help and I hope that I can get on more often and re-meet/meet new friends during all of this.
Thanks
Mechelle

I think we are all in the same boat, now the weight is coming back on. My lowest weight was 138, I weigh about 147. Ten pounds might seem not like a lot, but to us it is. Actually I do not look like I gained weight but my thighs and butt are not fitting the size 4's and 6's like they did over the summer and I am finding myself wearing 8's and 10's.
At my support group meeting last month, the moderator stressed just remember where you came from. I know where my problem is and I have to work on it. I am not in a happy place right now. I have an 18 year old daughter who is acting out! I am no longer in a relationship. I am eating rice cakes like no tomorrow which is increasing my calories and carbs, and I am not getting in enough protein. I have also been anemic becuase I forgot to buy vitamins and my iron went really low. Of course with cold weather heading our way, I am not as active with my exercise. My daughter's behavior is putting me in a really bad place.
My best advice to pin point where you are going wrong. I just mentioned what I am doing bad and I know I have to make the change but it is becoming difficult in the emotional state I am in. I know once I get happy again, I will be fine.

Topic: RE: ULCER
Hi Jennifer,
Sounds very familiar. I had a 3CM ulcer in the duodenom. Couldn't eat and lost quite a bit of weight. I got down to 127lbs. Ulcer is now completely healed and I now weight 142lbs. I had the ulcer in like January and it was completely healed on my last EDG in July. Hurt like heck and glad to have the sucker gone. I think it's a normal thing for us from what I am told. I took Prilosec (cheaper but slower healing than nexium) course in my case it healed pretty quickly. I also had Carafate. I would never ever let anyone redo my surgery. Hell it's the best thing that ever happened to this old lady given all the complications I have had. Still suffer from severe malnutrition and anemia though. I am under the care of an hemotologist. And since my plastics I have developed Lymphedema. BUT I still would do it all over again. Love being thin. Well not quite as thin as I was but still relatively thin.
Best Wishes!
