Just Feel Llike I Can't Relate

I have to say that I too can eat more then most. I do not eat a 1/4 of what I use to but I know I eat more then most who had the surgery. I am worried that I have stretched the pouch but I am also making sure that I stop when I need to. I am working on stopping when I am full but I have been stressed alot lately and while right after the surgery I was able to ignore food. I have found myself eating more frequently lately. I am having better choices then I once had. Well I will stop here since I really only wanted to tell you that Yes I can also eat way more then others.

Hi Amy! What you are doing here is trying to cope with the road that we are on, same as everyone else. If someone judges you for what y ou eat tell them to scratch and sniff! You know what, i'm not exactly sure how much i eat calorically nor for that matter protein wise, i suck down a protein drink when i think i'm not near where i shoudl be or the exhaustion sets in...whichever comes first. I think you need to relax and let us support you in a manner to which you are not accustomed. Each of us approaches our lives in different manners, no one way is right nor is another wrong, it's just different. Maybe we need to embrace what makes us different instead of pointing it out in negative ways. I'm not sure what the right answer is but i'd like you to stay. ANDI

I would had to say that what works for me is not what works for someone else. you have to do what you have to do to keep you healthy. it is so frustrating for me, to see others be able to eat so much more. I know that I was totally confused when everyone talked about so much protein. If I get in 16 oz of protein a day, I am a miracle child. it was so confused early on because it didn't apply to me or worse people would tell me that I was risking my health by following my surgeons Rx. ultimately, I think that our board will drift away from the quantity and quality of food and get more 'on with our lives' and talk about coping and maintaining. or so I hope.
