Hi Lisa I am 6 1/2 months post op and down 86 pounds I am not a number counter but wanted to say you are doing great. When I check with fitday.com every so often to see where I stand it is around 900 calories with most of my calories going to protein and fats.(almost equal amounts) I eat very little carbs maybe around 25 gms a day. I do not count anything daily just protein first then veg/fruits. and then carbs. Janice

I've not been a number cruncher either, when it comes to that. They never stressed us doing that -- in my nutrition training, or by the surgeon. So I just eat what I can, and stop when I get full. I try not to get too much sugars or carbs ... other than that, I don****ch anything yet. I am 6 months out too -- well, a little over that now .... Susan
