I am 5 weeks post op, tell me if I am eating too much or too little today:

early- Ensure protein shake (25g protein)
Breakfast: child size chobani with 1/4 cup lf granola
lunch:  3 oz tuna with lt mayo on a wheat sandwich thin and 1/2c cottage cheese
dinner: 3/4c Progresso split pea soup with 1oz deli ham,1slice ww cheddar cheese on wheat sandwich thin.
snack later 1 lf cheese stick and 3 wheat crackers.
My meals usually follow around this type of meal, I try not to have sandwiches every day but lunch for work is hard.

I am scheduled for a possible fill on Tuesday 9/6, I have only had a few morning when not drinking
a protein shake am that I have been hungry.
Just concerned that I maybe eating too much. I am losing 2 pounds a week except for the 9.5 I lost the first week. Down about 22 pounds by my scale.

banded 7/25/11

I don't think you're eating too much, but I suspect that after you have a fill, you won't be able to eat that much in each meal, so spreading out your food intake into 3 meals & 3 snacks a day might work better. Your weight loss has been great so far, and your food choices look good - healthy, and with good satiety value.

I have to work this holiday weekend, and it doesn't break my heart since I need the money and working Labor Day means holiday pay!

Today is my husband's 60th birthday, so our dinner tonight consisted of some of his favorite foods - not necessarily healthy, but fun for a treat.

Food today:
B: Click vanilla latte protein shake
S: iced skinny latte with SF caramel
S: granola bar
L: leftover crab-stuffed eggplant (awesome stuff!) & tomato salad
S: gravlax (homemade cured salmon) with a Wasa cracker (also awesome)
D: beef brisket (cooked in the crockpot), roasted potatoes, and stuffed red bell pepper (stuffing - soy crumbles, RF cream cheese, RF cheddar cheese, seasonings)
S: I'm too full to even think about it now.

Exercise:
a 45-minute body toning class using free weights, leg weights, and Spri ball
