I am free as of today to eat a regular diet!   Yeah!!  But now what do I do?  My insurance does not cover a nut so I need some guidence!  How much should I be eating?  Is there a specific calorie count I need to be getting?  I just want to stay on the path I am on and not screw anything up!  Thanks in advance! Meg

Did your surgeon not give you a plan to follow after today? My "regular diet" plan that I'm supposed to follow until I'm done losing looks like this. 750 calories per day ****il 6 months out) 1000 calories per day (after 6 months out) 20 - 30 % of the calories should be from fat no carb restrictions/recommendations 60 grams of protein per day minimum 3 meals per day only 1 snack per day only (in addition to the 3 meals for a total of eating 4 times per day) each meal or snack is 1/2 cup or less (If I don't feel satisfied with 1/2 cup, I quit eating anyway because I know 1/2 cup is enough for me and I'm probably just "wanting" more - not "needing" more.  If I feel satisfied at only 1/4 cup, I quit eating at only 1/4 cup.) no sugar no fruit juices and/or calorice beverages (other than milk and/or protein drinks) no carbonated and/or caffeinated beverages (ever again) protein first - always I followed these rules and I am currently below goal at < 1 year out.   Good luck!
