Sometimes I feel like I eat to much!!!! I will be fine with my eating, but then it seems like once in a while I can eat more then usual. Why is that? Usually after 1/3 cup I am full, but other times, it seems like I eat a cup of food! Anyone else have this? I am doing good weight wise. I had my surgery 10/5/05 and am down about 50 pounds. Any thoughts? Denise

Hello I am new to the group, and glad that a friend of mine told me about it. My BMI pre-op was 69 and now it is 49 I have lost over 70 pounds in just 9 weeks. Hope to read more reports and encourage others as we win this battle we have had to fight agains obesity.

Hey, hope everyone is ready for christmas! With our busy schedules I know it is hard to eat at the right time and the right food, well i hope it is just not me. Today I ate: Peanuts cheese soup doritos I thought I had ate alot, but looking at the list i don't seem like too much and might explain why i feel hungry. Too late to get something... Merry Christmas everyone. Lisa 382/328

Hi, Cathering - Just FYI, your nutritionist may not have known that Wendy's chili specifically isn't high in fat. It's (for a full cup) 220 calories, 54 from fat (25%), with 17 grams of protein and 6 g of sugar. It was one of the first foods I was able to eat, and I get it by default now when folks want to have fast food. Just FYI, don't know if your nutritionist wants you eating very low fat, but 25% calories from fat is below the 30% the AHA recommends for lowfat eating. Best of luck!

U GO GIRL!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
