Topic: RE: What and how much can you eat?

I sometimes feel like I eat way to much, and wonder if my pouch is still a tiny pouch. But then other times I take a couple of bites and think I am going to burst. (today is one of those days).

Today so far:

Breakfast: Thin slice meat (6 slices is a serving) I could only hold four.

Snack:  I had a "light" cheese stick. Ate about 3/4 of it.

Lunch: I had about five bites of boneless skinless  chicken breast.

But I eat this way most days and I am on a stall right now. I have lost a little over 80 lbs. I have about 40 more that I want to lose and getting frustrated. I have been going to the gym and working out, pushing proteins and trying to get in more liquids. Do you see anything that may help me start losing again?

I just did a copy and paste?




14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey.  I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.

My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once.  I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.

I am actually having issues with this. I had my surgery sept 30 and have lost 65 pounds so far. HOWEVER i am noticing that i think i can eat WAY TOO MUCH at meals. for example, what prompted me onto this website today was that for lunch i was able to eat an entire lean cuisine, a bit over 8 oz in 15 minutes.

From people that i have talked to, that seems like a lot. I don't know what to do, I'm afraid I'm screwing up my last shot at this.

I have tried really hard to do better with what I am eating....Today I had a Carb Control Protien Shake with 27 Grams of Protien....  I Had a few green grapes, a slice of provolone cheese and some grilled chicken for lunch...for dinner I had a boneless pork chop and some saurkraut.  For a snack I had some cashews.....  So right now, I am right where I want to be with my calories, and protien.  I have FINALLY gotten to 188 lbs (70 lbs lost since surgery)  but still need to work HARD to get my water, because I still don't drink enough of anything!!!!

Topic: RE: I've put off asking for help...
I can really relate to your situation --- except you've made it to 60 lbs ---- I hovering at 50 and have been forever.   I really do everything right.  Keep track of everything on the daily plate.  Eat betw 700-900 calories a day, betw 65-85 g of protein, drink about 90 oz a day, workout a min of 30 minutes 4-5 times a week, eat absolutely NO "bad" carbs.  My %'s are usually about 50% protein, 25% carb and 25% fat.    I did read something earlier tonight that gave me hope.  I was heavy but had muscle.  Somebody wrote in another post that by losing slower we are maintaining that muscle --- and hopefully adding to it.  I have gone from an 18-20 to a 14 mostly, few 12s.   I'm not giving up.  I really believe this will work.  I went to the Dr for 4 month post op on 1/14 and had lost 49 lbs.  My DR thought that was perfect --- betw 10-15 first month and then average 8-10 after that.   I am just going to continue on this journey and not give up ---- don't you either.

104 lbs lost now Maintenance BABY!!!!

Went to the family dr today -- he's so thrilled at how well I am doing and ordered a slew of bloodwork.

Odd thing -- my blood pressure was up...never has it been up.  Will be interesting to see if it is ok at my next appointment.
