Am I doing this right

I sometimes worry if I am doing things right. Am I eating too much or eating the wrong things. I need to regain control of what I am doing. I have lost 47 lbs. since surgery and feel good but sometimes I catch myself eating what I think is too much. Some things have become easy to eat and I sometimes tend to eat a little extra at times. How can I take control of what I put in my mouth and not over do it. I don't want to go through all of this and end up not changing the habits that made me overweight in the first place. I get plenty to drink and get my protein everyday but worry that I am eating too much at times.

HI BOBBIE,

REMEMBER TO MEASURE YOUR FOOD WITH THE LITTLE CUPS THE HOSPITAL GAVE US.  WE ARE SUPPOSE TO EAT ONLY TOTAL OF 2 OUNCES PER MEAL SO, PROTEIN FIRST, 1 OUNCE AND THEN 1/2 OUNCE OF VEGS AND 1/2 OUNCE OF FRUIT.  THAT SORTA MAKES A MEAL.

ALSO, REMEMBER TO HAVE A SMALL SNACK BETWEEN MEALS SUCH AS PROTEIN DRINK (4 OUNCES). OR WHATEVER IS ON THE PHASE 4 LIST.  TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS.


JOY
