How much does everyone eat

Stepanie I have dumped on alot of things, it's no fun...Thanks for the post. My hair is pretty thin now too, that's why I cut it short, it helped out alot with the pulling and the hair coming out. Erin

I drink water in the early morning and then eat a Yoplait light yogurt when I get to school around 7:30 or 8. At around 11, I start a protein bar, Myoplex Lights are my favorite. That usually keeps me until I get home, but if I get hungry, I eat a few almonds (people say almonds are like celery, they take as many calories to digest as they contain). When I get home, I snack on some Trader Joe's BarBQue Soy Chips and then have 3-4 ounces of tuna or salmon or chicken or something for dinner. If I haven't made my protein yet, I have a protein bullet, or half of one, mixed with water and some lemon juice. Once in a while I have an 8 o'clock snack of a Sf popsicle or pudding, but I bought a box of each before my surgery and I still have a lot of each left. nancy

Nancy, you don't eat any lunch?? I really don't eat those protien bars at all, I don't like the taste, but I don't really eat any breakfast so at lunchtime I have to have some nurishment. But what ever works for each of us as long as we are losing or maintaining....thanks for the post..Erin

Hey Erin, I am eating about 6 ounces at a time. Although, yesterday, it seems that I ate 16 ounces of fruit. I dont know how that worked but thats what it said. I really dont feel hunger but I do feel the full sensation coming on but I really try to weigh/measure my food too because I dont want to over do it. When I have eaten what seems to be too much, I all of a sudden get really tired of the food and want it away from me. I guess with the fruit, it is made up of a lot of water and we can store more of that. I guess. I drink water /liquids all day and eat about 3 times a day, I dont want have a desire to eat much more or more often than that, I guess I will go through different phases of maybe wanting more food and/or eating more often. I am gonna play it by ear as time progresses. I am proud of us too, 5 months out and we are hanging in there!!! Angela
