I eat "normal" food. I can eat beef, chicken, and pork, but not fish. Actually chicken is difficult to eat. I eat whatever the family eats, but severely limit the amount of "white" foods. I have also lost 100 lbs. and exercise every day.

How much are you all eating at a meal? I almost ate an entire Lean Cuisine Swedish meatball and pasta dinner last night! I only left 2 meatballs and a couple of spoons of pasta. I could have eaten it all! I feel so guilty when I think that I have overeaten, and I just pray that I have not damaged/streched my pouch! I have lost 101 lbs since Nov. 22, so I guess I am doing something right! Right? Please tell me what you think?? Sharon Lap RNY 11/22/04 336/235/183 goal

First, 100 lbs. Nice job! Second, I pretty much eat what everyone else is eating for the most part. I don't eat sugar. I eat some pasta but only whole wheat pasta, I don't eat bread. Some low carb wraps once in a while. I don't have carbonated drinks. But I can eat beef, chicken, pork, fish. I can't eat nearly as much as everyone in my family. I've only lost 78 lbs since surgery. But I feel great. I update my profile pretty regular if you want to see the pics. Keep up the good work Kay! ~Angel 255/222/144/118

HI! I've been eating what we would consider normal foods for a while, but I do not do white flour carbs or sugar. I haven't been as lucky as you with 100lbs, I've only lost 88, but I am very happy with my loss. I tried to work my eating into a habit without being boring so it will stick for life. I made a conciense choice to not eat "diet" food, but to change my eating habits period. I don't want to be one of the failures and denying myself of taste will bring me back to that point as my pouch gets bigger. I know everyone is different, but I just wanted to share how I am dealing with my new life. Congrats on you loss and keep up the good work. Tee

Well, I did that today, but not really for the same reason. I got a "taster" at Costco. It was chicken with Terriaki sauce. I took a bite of the chicken and realized it was way too dry and hard and I KNEW it wouldn't go down well, so I spit it out rather than swallow it. I didn't care who was looking, it was that or throw it up 15 min. later! Donna ps I'm not sure the chew and spit process is a good thing...
