HI!
I'm 3 1/2 months out and sometimes I think I eat too much, like a half cup or can of soup, 6 crackers and about 10 shrimps. Sometimes I can tell if I eat too much and sometimes I can't. Understand how you feel. Happy belated birthday to you and welcome to the losing side. Isn't it great!

Topic: Questions that has to be asked!
Hi Everyone,
I just went over the 3 month mark and was wondering how much everybody else was able to eat now too. It seems like I can eat a lot more now than when I was a month out. It was my birthday yesterday and I was able to eat the toppings of two pieces of pizza and a medium size piece of cake and didn't have any problems. I was curious as to how much each of you can eat?

Congrats Terri! That is really good!
I hope to be able to say the same thing, in the not too distant future. I had surgery 10-6-04, and have, as of today, lost 67 lbs. I am still 21 lbs over 200 though.
Good job!!

Hi everyone,
I just had to share with everyone that I am officially under the 200 lbs. mark. I am so excited. I can't believe it. I give all the glory to my wonderful heavenly father. Also it is so nice to be able to come to this site and read and learn from others that have been through WLS. I hope the best for everyone that is pre-op and I welcome each of you to the losing side and to all the people that are post-op I hope the best for each of yall for all the encouraging advice that has helped me in so many ways. I had my surgery Oct 14, 2004 and I have lost 57 lbs. I still have a ways to go but for the first time in my life I am a new person. I Thank God everyday for walking by my side . If there is anyone out there that is struggling or needs an angel please email me an I would be happy to help.
Many precious blessings to each and everyone of you.

Topic: What did you eat today?
TGIF - its been a long week and I am really looking forward to this weekend. I am finally feeling so much better.....no more flu or bronchitis or colds...
B - decaf tea
S - few bites of Chef Boy Ardee mac & cheese (still can't seem to stay away from nibbling on foods I prepare for the kids)
L - 2 slices home made pizza, only a few bites of the crust though, mostly ate the sauce & cheese
D - Smart Ones "Truth About Carbs" Salisbury Steak & asparagus (200 cal, 9 g fat, 9 carbs and 20 protein!!) I ate all but 1/4 the steak. VERY GOOD!!! I discovered these low carb ones last night at the grocery store and they've all got 20 or more gr protein! I am loving that!
S - protein drink
Totals - 623 cal, 18 fat, 48 carbs, 68 protein. A bit high on the carbs thanks to the mac & cheese, but I am not worried. I have not lost a single pound since Dec 29 - more than 2 weeks. Well, I have been having huge bathroom issues if you kwim.....so I finally could not stand that bloated feeling anymore and I took 2 tsp of mineral oil today (prescribed for my son, who is always wicked constipated) and within 10 minutes, I was in so much pain. The cramps were unreal, but they only lasted a few minutes and I am happy to report I think I have been "cleaned out". I about cracked the porcelain, let me tell ya'. Oh ya, Thank You Lord! I've gone about....six times since then and I really can't wait to get on that scale tomorrow morning. Now that I've entertained you with more information than you ever wanted to know......
