I thought that too, just last week!! So I measured my food for a few meals to see how full I felt and if there was any left. Most meals were 1 cup to 1 cup and a half total.  Sliders, like popcorn I can eat a ton of, but I feel sick after a while so I don't do that so much. :)

I checked to see how many calories I am meant to eat to maintain vs lose and I was surprised! Some days I think I actually dont get enough food in! And some days..oy vey..too much too much. So I figure I will keep an eye on things, watch my appetite and carb intake and keep working out. I know if I quit working out I would not be a happy camper. :)

dont get discouraged.you are still newly post op.give your body time to heal. try and not to weigh your self for awhile. you will still have excess fluids and bloating

OMG Sondra - take care!

I am travelling north quite often and find it difficult to keep to routine. I can only drink Premier Protein shakes and can't take it because of the weight. I am pretty limited in what I can take. I also am on call most of the time as well, so I eat on the run. Also, I am not able to exercise like I would at home.

Well gotta be mindful of this. It is a struggle. 

Thanks for your input NVG. 

I'm only 7 months out but I can definitely tell I can eat more.  My problem is mostly slider foods..... those I can consume in staggering amounts (think pre-surgey) and NONE of those sliders are something I should be having.  When I stay on track (which is most of the time ) with dense protein, I have great restriction, am full easy and stay that way, especially if I stick to the water rules.  Some days I think I am turning into a chicken breast.
