Topic: RE: How much do you eat at any one sitting?
Thanks...I think I'm getting nervous b/c my loss is slowing down and I don't want to work against myself. My magic 6 months are almost over. I had my surgery on 4/21 and am down 83 pounds but the loss has been very slow the last 6 weeks or so.
Anyway, thanks for the reassurance,

The more liquidy it is the more that you can hold. Last night I ate a whole frozen (I cooked it first) stoffers baked chicken breast with some mashed pots. about 3 ounces of meat..
thats why you were able to drink the full 11 oz of V-8 you probably drank slow enough it drained while you were sipping..
Its all in the chew and the solid/ form.. I can eat about 1 cup of hamburger helper if i take a long time to do it.

Topic: How much do you eat at any one sitting?
I think I may have stretched my pouch already. I can eat between 4-8 ounces, depending on the volume of the food; for example 4 ounces of chicken vs 6-8 ounces of salad...
Help, here's my menu from yesterday:
B - 4oz. Dannon Light n Fit yogurt
S - 8 baby carrots with 1tablespoon of vinairgette
L - About 1 cup of Leftover Hamburger Helper, but I didn't eat the pasta, so I probably comsumed about 1/3 cup worth of meat and sauce
S - 11.5 ounce can of V8 juice
D - about 4 ounces of chicken with 2 forkfuls of rice
Yesterday was a bad protein day...but let me know what you think...
Topic: wow moments
I really love reading about everyones wow moments. I had a few this week and would love to share. i started out really really heavy (420lbs) and am down to 306lbs as of today (5 /2 months post op). This past weekend there was a carnival at a field by our house, and my husband, kids and i WALKED all the way over there. I didnt once get winded, and he actually had to keep up with me for a change...wow moment #1.
#2 was i actually got onto and rode a ride for the first time in about 10 years, and i didnt kill myself.
...then wow moment #3 was my grandmother came out and wanted to take me to breakfast, and usually i dont go out to ANY restaraunts, but i wanted to spend some quality time with her so i went. we went to dennys for breakfast, and ordered 1 meal with 2 plates, but my wow moment came when they seated us at a booth, and i slide easily into the booth, with lots of room to spare between my tummy and the table.
I
was SOOOOOO excited. 


ok, well thats enough for me. everyone keep up the good work, i am proud of each and every one of you.
