My surgery was December 28th. I've lost 75 lbs so far. Sometimes I'm surprised by how much I can eat. Here's a breakdown: Cottage cheese about 1/2 cup with .25 cup fruit, chili-about a cup with 3 crackers, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup cereal, about 2 ounces of meat (still don't do well with meat). I average between 800 and 1000 calories a day. I drink one or two protein drinks a day.

That 2oz post was me; the doctor wanted me to drop it to that. I weighed what I was actually eating and it was 4 oz. I was just curious because 2 oz seemed absolutley rediclous (sp?). But since that, I am weighing my food and try to do a 'compromise' at 3 oz per meal.

I have lost 80 pounds since surgery, but I find that as time goes on, I'm able to eat more. Yesterday, I really "blew" it. We went to Chinese for dinner-first time since way before surgery, and I'm sorry to say-I ate too much-with no consequences. I'm hoping that since it was mostly shrimp-about 20 pieces-it won't count, LOL. But probably, the few bites of fried rice, the few bites of peanut chicken, and about 1/4 piece of General Tso's, along with about 1/2 cup ice cream-with butterscotch topping-will come back to haunt me on the scale. Oh my. Well, todays another day, and I'm getting back on the wagon. USUALLY, I have a shake for breakfast, 1/2 a lean entree and a few graham crackers for lunch, and a small amount of meat with salad or another protien for dinner, and snack on a piece of string cheese or a yogurt.
