What is everyone eating these days?

Hi everyone, I am 2 years out like most of us that visit this message board. I was wondering if I was about the same as the amount of food I am eating. so...... Just curiuos as to how much you are eating now that you are 2 years out/ I know certain time during a month it feels like I could eat the house and home, and I am able to comsume more during those times. BTW- "normal day for me" Breakfast- protien shake Snack- fruit and a piece of poly cheese lunch -salad or sandwich (sometimes this can be a whole sandwich!!!) Dinner- 3-5 oz of meat vegs. 1/2 to1 cup Snack- nuts, pretzel, popcorn???? whatever I am in the mood for. I tend to get hungery at night Karen

I'm two years out as well ~ And LOVIN' it! My wife & I have each had LapRNY (hers was 12/04). I've lost about 192, she lost about 150. We both exercise and believe that is the key to major success. Last night we split a sandwich from StL Bread Co. It came with a salad but we each saved that for our lunch today. I eat an oatmeal raisin cookie from there about every day for breakfast with one cup of coffee...ok 2. I still occassionally have a Protien bar with peanut butter. It has about 250 calories but 21 gm of protien & it works for me. Night time snacks are a must for me too, they actually turn into a meal. But I think 4 or even 5 meals a day has been a part of my success. Healthy eating is a good thing; I eat til I'm full. Which is more than 4 ozs but nowhere close to what I used to eat. I still enjoy pizza but now it's thin crust and not the whole pizza! Lots of water!! I also like Water Sensations flavor packs. Or just buy flavored water. I probably drink a gallon a day. I also eat granola bars. Some have high sugar, so be careful and read package. Small amounts of sugar don't bother me though. Snacks include: cashews/ peanuts, pretzel rods, popcorn, cheese & crackers or I'll make my own nachos w/ shredded cheese. good luck Phil -190+

A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER WITH XL FRIES AND A DIET COKE. just kidding, I was having flashbacks of my old old eating habits. You look amazing. Happy anniversary. Take care and hope to keep hearing from you.

Yep, sounds just like me, Karen. I'm crazy about popcorn at night. It satisfies my muchies and gives me a good shot of fiber, too. At certain times of the month I eat like a horse and then worry that I'm getting back into my bad habits. I just make sure I eat pretty good choices and I've always stayed pretty much at goal. It's normal for me to gain about 4-5 lbs around the monthly time. A couple days later though, I'm back to normal. Pretzels aren't that good of a choice, unless you are eating whole wheat pretzels. They taste pretty much the same and fill you up way better. I ate an entire sandwich today at lunch, too! I feel like a horse, but I guess I needed it! Do you eat regular bread now or do you still use the low carb breads? I just found that Panera Bread has low carb Italian Herb. I had them slice it thinly and it is great. That's what I made my grilled cheese & tomato with today.
