Hi guys, Well I started out at 244 down to 239 at the time of my wls. I am now 148lbs. Ive only lost 1lb in the last 3 weeks On fitday.com I average 920 cals per day. I have hit 1200-1300...on a few bad days but then again sometimes I am luckey 2 hit 700. I can eat a small wendys chilli with 2 crackers. (8oz.) 4 chicken nuggets fills me up just right. On a good day I can almost finish a LC TV dinner (low carb) Wishing everyone the BEST DI~

Hi, Had surgery 8/8/03 and I am down 76 pounds to 196, wearing a soon to be loose 14W. I agree the energy is scary, I still have some lazy ways but once I get out I surprise myself by how fast I walk and do things! I just keep thinking about how hard it was to move and do errands when I was 271. I have hit a plateau though, which I think is due to snacking. I am going to just stop buying certain things from the market, I figure if I dont bring it home I cant eat it. My doc said no snacking and exercise. I cant wait till summer, clothes will be so much fun and I'm sure I will go out walking and get some exercise in. Congrats to everyone and keep up the good work!

Thank you all for the great posts. I feel some days like I am eating way to much or not enough and after reading this I am starting to feel more normal. I have lost 87 - 88 pounds and I had surgery on 08-19-03. I must say this is the best thing I have ever done for my life. I eat anywhere between 2 oz to 1 cup at a meal. Just depends on what it is. For breakfast I normally have a light yogart and that is 6oz and doesn't bother me. I need to stay away from the snacking and I am sure the weight will just fall off again!
