I think that I have messed up

Gary, Good to hear you’ve made it a point to "get back on track" Before experiencing Substantial "Re-Gain." Have no idea how tall you are, so 179 could be pudgy of Rail-thin Depending on your height. As for "Food Volume?" Pouch size actually has very little to do with long-term weight-loss results. *see post above… I’m at 4 ½ + years post-op And have been at or below goal since the end of the first year. I have about a 5 lb. "range" and have stayed within it. I typically get full on anywhere from a cup to two cups of food Depending on the density of the food. I often drink with my meals at least once or twice a day, But I eat 5 to 6 times a day. (3 medium or larger meals, 2 to 3 small snacks) The only difference I can tell from your post Is "What" we choose to eat. You mentioned only 3 foods- "…two corn dogs in one sitting." "…a bacon egg and cheese biscuit…." "…a large bowl of popcorn…." Surely these aren’t "Typical" food choices for you? I’m no "food-nazi" but, what types of foods are "Typical" for you? I have popcorn when I go to a movie, But don’t hit the movie-house but maybe once a month. I have had a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit, but maybe once every two months. Corn Dogs? None since surgery. I do eat a hell of a lot of Meat and fresh veggies. Nearly no "white Carbs." (Bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, crackers, etc…) Many find that abstinence from "trigger foods" controls their cravings. Others have better results with "moderation" having a touch of the foods they want (no matter if they are good for them or not) To satisfy their cravings. Could be that "moderation" might not work so well for you? Like I said, I have no idea. 179lbs for me would be perfect at my 6’ 1 ½" height. Hope this helps… (Welcome to posting on The Men’s Board!) Best Wishes- Dx
