Hi everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your day and staying "cool" It's a HOT one out there! I was wonderfing what everyone was eating today. Sometimes I feel like either I am not eating enough or eating to much.
     
B- 3 oz eggs (mushrooms, chives, cheese), 2 small slices of bacon  &  3/4 banana

L- 3 oz. of bourben chicken (mall food with the kids) 

S- 3 mini crab cakes (from www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com) & sf peach cup with 2 tsp sf cool whip

D- not sure yet (protein + veggie) 

S- sf popsicle or fruit 
    
*I hope this does not sound like a stupid question, but does this seem like a lot of food to eat 4 months out? Lately I have been feeling hungry more often. I know our bodies are adjusting to our new life style, but at times I dont know if I am eating enough or eating to much. I am still learning. The doctor told me 1-2 cups of food per meal, but doesn't that seem like a lot? I am afraid to eat to much becasue I NEVER want to go back to 322 lbs!!!! UGH....

Have a great day and thanks for sharring your meals with me!
Take care-
Jill

 I to think I don't eat right. I guess bad habits are hard to break

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Hi Janet! Thanks for sharring your menu with me. Its nice to see what other people are eating too. You know, I sometimes feel like I should be eating more or less, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that our RNY's are just a tool and its up to us. I think we are all so hard on ourselves. I know I am! Your menu looked pretty good to me and tasty! Yum...pizza! I have not had pizza since before my surgery. What kind of protein drinks do you make? I should really start drinking some shakes too.

janet, you have really some a long way and your weight loss is amazing!! You are SO right about bad habits are hard to break!

Hope you are having a good day!

Wow I am wondering if I am eating enough.

B - slice of toast and oatmeal

L - turkey breast 4oz

S - wedge of watermelon

D - Hot Dog (( love hot dogs) no bun though

S - Sugar free popsicile.

I am only eating a cup of food per meal or less. I wonder if I am not eating enough food. My second appointment to see Dr. Kane will be 7/28. I will ask then exactly how much I should be eating. I had the surgery on 5/27 no fill yet but not hungry in between meals.
