I need some advice

Hi, my name is Michelle and I had my surgery December 2, 2004. I am always scared that I am eating too much food. Does anybody else ever feel that way? I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Hello Michelle, I don't have an answer for you. I feel the same way. When I read posts about people not getting hungry I get so jealous. I wish I didn't get hungy but I do. How is your weight loss journey going? Diana -154

As of six weeks ago I had lost 95 pounds. That was my last doctors visit. But I am now off of insulin shots and for that reason only the surgery was worth it. Thank you for replying to my question and I am glad to hear I am not alone. Best wishes on your Journey also.

Hi Michelle, I have a feeling that we all go through the wondering if we are eating to much. Sometimes I think I am just pigging out.. ugghhh BUT if we stick to the WLS rules we will all be fine. I measure pretty much everything. (But sometimes I graze and then I really feel quilty. Trying to stop myself from doing that. lol) Hugs, I am sure you are doing great!

OH MY!! Your not alone lady. I think we all feel we are eating to much now. We got spoiled with WLS and now suddenly our new pouch is healing and waking up and screaming FEED ME !! My head has been spinning over food issues but I'm strong and I'll get through it I'm aware of changes in my life right now which brings on stress and for some of us stress brings on eating Donna 338/190 -148

I have never measured none of my food. Sometime i Feel like i can eat a ton but other times i get full so quick.It seem like the times i have to eat all day is when i missed my protien goal bad the day before.Just make sure your eating good stuff and the rest will take care on it's own.Rember protine 1st!!!!!!

Dear Michelle, The hunger returned for me a couple of months ago. I have 2 friends who are 5 years out from RNY. They both said the key to long term success is to count calories. So, I got on fitday.com. My goal is 150. Based on my current lifestyle it would take about 2000 calories per day to stay at a weight of 150. I am now 193. If I eat between 1500 and 1800 per day in small meals that have less than 300 cals and at least 20 grams of protein, I find that I am satisfied (not starving) and still running enough of a caloric deficit to loose about 2 pounds a week. It may take me longer to loose the weight, but I'm not in a race. I feel satisfied, strong, and healthy. Best of luck! Angie 302/193

I am hearing you and double it! WOW! About time somebody else said it! I look at what some people eat and think " how come I am hungry?" I have a hard time with people telling me they eat only 3 times a day and feel fine. I eat about 6-8 times a day! Compared to before it is nothing but compared to 3 months ago it is a lot. My Dr. says I am fine and that people are all different and as long as I am following the rules I will be fine. your sister in wls chandi 305/296/?

Hi Michelle, Sometimes it's hard to know. I would advice going to a wonderful site called fitday.com - it's a free service that allows you to keep track of everything you eat throughout the day. You may be surprised how much -or how little - you're actually eating. Vicki.
