Topic: RE: Should I be able to eat this much at 6 months out?
Sounds pretty close to what I can eat.  I notice that I can eat a lot more however I try not to.  My nut told me to snack on food instead of Protein drinks because we get full on food.  I am always eating beef jerky for snacks or carrots. 

I did go out to eat with my bosses for lunch last week and I ate fish, broccoli and some soup.  I was still a little hungry so I grabbed a brownie.  Well I ate about half of a square and then put it in my left over soup and covered it.  I know that if I didn't I could have eaten the whole thing so the best thing is to cover it with crap.  To funny. 

I will eat what I want to however I am learning portion control.  I might have to start weighing my food again.

Topic: RE: Are we newbies?
I agree I am still a newbie but feel like a teenager.  I will be a weightloss grad after one year.  I still feel we need to post to those that are going to have surgery or just had because it is so fresh in our minds.  I love to post pictures because pictures tell you a story and when I started out I just looked at pictures.  I do love to blog now not just for myself but to show the pre-ops what to expect and what I am going through.  I am not an exercise junky, I am young and still like to live life. 

Mrs. Mac this was a great posting.  You are awesome.  I wish I could exercise as much as you.

Topic: Should I be able to eat this much at 6 months out?
Hi Everyone,

I had my RNY on 9/17/08 so I'm 6 months out and down 106 lbs. which I think is good but this past couple of weeks, I've notice a big difference in the amount I'm able to eat.  Is this normal?  The last few days I've been able to eat bread which I haven't been able to touch at all since surgery.  I was able to eat 3/4ths of a 6 inch sub at subway.  Is that bad?  I'm just not sure.  Today, I ate two tacos for lunch.  Now, this is not all days.  It's weird because some days I can't eat much at all, but I've really started noticing that more days than not I can eat much more than I have been able to up to this point.

I go to my 6 month check in next week, but knew you all would have some insight and experiences that would help me.  Thanks in advance!

Laura

Hi There!  I've been looking for September people like me!  Thanks for starting this chain!  I had my RNY 9/17/08.  The day of surgery I was 325 and today I'm 219, so I'm down 106 lbs in 6 months.  I lost 80 lbs the first 3 months, but it's taken me 3 months to lose 25 lbs!  I have to admit I'm not excerising and much as I should be so I think that would really help get the next 20 off.  I just can't wait to be under 200 lbs!  Hopefully before summer!  You look AMAZING!!!  You are beautiful!  I feel SOOO much better don't you?  I don't sweat all the time anymore and I can sleep again without choking during the night.  Yea!  Bought my first size 14 last week!  Pretty great from a size 26 6 months ago.

All the best to you and hope to keep in touch with all the September beauties!!!

Laura

Being a size 10 was my all time goal.  I know I wanted to be down on the scale but to fit in the 10's was just awesome.  Keep up the great work.

Aloha,
