Topic: RE: How much can you eat now???

Judy, Everyone is so different. I am even different from one day to the next. I was eating pretty consistently up until about 2 weeks ago. I pretty much never ate breakfast... I'd have a frozen low carb meal for lunch and only eat the meat portion out of it. For dinner, I would have about 2 oz of protein and some (about 1/4 cu) veggies or salad or watermelon and then every night, I have sugar free jello. Then, about 2 weeks ago... I got really hungry. I had breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and snack again. That lasted a couple of days and then I wasn't hungry again. My birthday was Tuesday and my husband bought me a sugar free/crustless cheesecake. It was delicious (if anyone wants to blast me about eating this.... DON'T). I find that on days when I haven't had breakfast or dinner on the night before... I'm hungrier and it takes more to fill me at lunch time. You're doing fine. Jackie

I think it is also important to remember that each surgeon makes the pouch a different size. In my WLS support group... some people have 1 oz pouches all the way to 6 ounce pouches and we are all RNY. Jackie

Congratulations.. Thats wonderful, I can understand your emotions. I still have yet to venture out and buy new clothes. Mine are hanging off of my these days and people at my job tell me I need to go get new clothes because mine are getting so big. I am sure I'll be just as happy as you when I finally do go and try some new clothese on.

Congratulations Again. Barbara Watts

Topic: RE: Size 18 ---

Good for you. I started skipping sizes though. You may not need a 16. I went from 20 to a 16 and now am only buying 12s. Karen

Topic: RE: Aprils Goal is?....

Great - I'm proud of you for not being a member of Scaleaholic Anonymous! I am. Okay, I'm not a member yet, I haven't COMPLETELY admitted I have a problem! LMAO Good luck, I'll keep you in my thoughts to be at that 160 mark by July. I'm personally hoping for goal by then!
