I HAVE BEEN HOLDING MORE FOOD DOWN

I HAD THE SURGERY ON 9/25/03 AND I CAN SORT OF EAT MORE NOW ANYWAY CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EMAIL ME AND TELL ME IF THEY CAN EAT MORE I AM VERY NERVOUS BEGGING WEIGHT WAS 430 POUNDS PRESENT WEIGHT IS 245 POUNDS I LOVE TO EAT PISTACIOS MERRY XMAS

I am eating about a cup at a time now. This is all my surgeon reccommends....forever! Oh my. I usually do fine with a cup - and yes, I get nervous too. I am vigilant and keep asking God to keep me willing to eat right. My big thing is liquids. Protein shakes, low carb choc. milk, etc. I drink a lot of it if I don't keep myself in check, and though my surgeon says liquids won't stretch my pouch, I get very nervous because I can drink a lot. My goals? To get closer on track to 2/3 protein - 1/3 vegges, water, exercise, good sleep, vitamins, and cut back a bit on those protein shakes & low carb milk - for my own peace of mind. I've lost about 275 lbs - and though I have only lost one lb in the past two months, I have lost many inches. My surgeon says my body fat is now normal for my age and frame, and muscle weighs more than fat. I have been exercising about four times a week consistently. Still, like you, I worry too...all the time! I want to live, and I never want to go where I was before. Hopefully, I'll become more healed emotionally as time goes on. I almost died from obesity, so It's important I stay vigilant in the things that are good for me. Good luck ( Luck? My "luck" is God's blessings, lol) everyone - Merry Christmas!

I too ahve been able to eat more and my boyfriend is worried. I can eat about 8 oz of food that is about what my doc said would be normal!! But still is scary. I have only lost 120lbs and need to now "diet" I guess I shold be better at my food choices!! Laura
