Eating with a DS: A Day in the Life (pics!)
I think it is a gross amount of food too lol... but let me explain this.... my stomach is the size of a walnut ( as u know).. so when my kids eat a kids meal at a restaurant it seems like a gross amount of food... LOL One half of an egg is a gross amount of food!!!
Before surgery I would have been asking for seconds of all of your meals... and the ice cream... are u kidding I needed the pint of the Ben and Jerry's LOL
I liked your explanation... much clearer and more understandable then I was given at the seminar I went to.. I definitely agree that those of you that had the DS should talk about it... because it was almost discouraged when I started this process..... SO KEEP ON!!
ALSO..............................................................
CONGRATS ON YOUR TREMENDOUS SUCCESS... and there is a small part of me that is jealous of that steak with the cheese on lol it looks DELISH!!!

Thank you, Kerry. I'm glad you appreciated the intent of my post, and think I understand where you're coming from about the volume. As big as my portions seem to you, that's how some non-op folks portions can seem to me at times.
Sometimes, when I go to the Cheesecake Factory or somewhere and they bring out a ginormous plate of food, my stomach does cower a little in fear.
As for your RNY - 78 lbs in 3 months, congrats! You are really rocking it. And FWIW, I have some friends who are a couple years out from RNY and they now enjoy gorgonzola steak on occasion as well. ;-)

I am confused about what you are confused about. You said things like "I think it is a gross amount of food too lol" and "Before surgery I would have been asking for seconds of all of your meals" and "the ice cream... are u kidding I needed the pint of the Ben and Jerry's LOL".
Those are the kind of things I was talking about in my response, where I said (for example) we ALL would have probably wanted seconds before surgery. So maybe you should re-read your post?
Also, I didn't see where Jenna posted anything to agree or disagree with. This isn't her opinion of how she eats. It's just how she eats. What is there to disagree with her about?

Hah, gross amount of food.
I showed it to my husband And his comment about the steak at least was "I'd be wondering my other FIVE ounces of steak went!"

I have a few small plates (we have mishmash dish wear) But when it comes to bowls I'm frequently eating out of kiddie colored plastic bowls with little engraved circus animals on them. So you got me beat there!
