Hello everyone, Ive been very hungry i can eat more than 1/2 cup could it be that im exersicing 6days aweek really hard and i need more calories??? i dont know what to do im getting really scared that im goin back to my old eating habits although im eating good food its just a whole lot more. Ive tried my protein first and i dont get full at all i hope i didnt streach my pouch

Caroline... It could be that you're not eating enough, though everybody's doctor has something different to say about that. I'm a few weeks more out than you and I'm eating anywhere between a cup and a 1 1/2 cups of food per meal. (~1000 calories) I did find out when I was working out so much that I had to increase my calories, but had to be careful that it wasn't junk. I wouldn't worry about eating more...in fact, I would probably recommend it. Good luck! ~Lisa -116.6 lbs 291/174.4 (doc's goal)

Hi Caroline, I've been feeling the same way that I am hungry now and scared about going back to my old eating habits. When I did lose weight before WLS I did my best on Weigh****chers where it was setforth how much I could have each day in the way of points. So I called my doctor and they said I should keep in the way of 1000-1200 calories a day and 60 or more of protien so I went to fitday.com and got a free account to keep track of what I'm eating and I just have to pick good foods. I can't say completly away from carbs so when I do have them I eat them last and I stay away from pasta (because I love it) and Rice. I think we are at the point where we really have to use our tool (or pouch) to work to our advantage. I think what it really comes down to is portion size and picking good foods. Drop me an email if you want to check out my fitday.com page I'll be happy to share it. Smiles, Jenny 282/187/150(my goal)
