Hello all , I am 4 mos post-op RNY and have lost 62 pds so far, I have had about 3 stalls also, But my main concern is that at times I am able to eat more than I should be able to. I can eat steak about 4-5oz of it and 1/2 c of green beans, I think is way to much at one meal, then at other times I can't eat very much and get full fast. I don't know what to think of this. I know I don't get in all the fluids that they want but  with my job that is VERY hard to do. I am about 40 pds from my goal, but am afraid that with the amounts at times that I can eat that I will regain. I do take all my vits that I am suppose to.but I must admit that I was not an exercise fan before and still not one yes moving around is alot easier now , but i am burned out on the gym stuff for now. I do alot of walking when I work on my feet most of my 8 hrs shifts,but I know there should be more. I am having some issues with the loose skin too and well lets just say I had better hit a lottery to ever have the money to have it done. Most days i do get in 3 meals and a snack or two some days, I do better when I work it seems. When at home I eat something in the am then not again till supper time when hubby gets home, just not hungery at others times. I know that our pouches are to strech overtime but I wonder if I didn't stretch mine to quickly. any suggestions would be great. thanks everyone.
Well I finally have my date it is January 7th 2009, So I will be starting off in the new year with a new me.

measure your food to what your nut has told you to have. and stop eating when its gone.

eat for 10 minutes, stop, rest for 5-10 minutes and then finish if you are still hungry.

just because we can doesn't mean we should.

hugs.

First congrats on your weight loss. I too must agree see what your nut or doctor suggest you should eat. I am 9 1/2 months out and that is prob as much as I eat.

You have some good advice here.  Perhaps another thing to do is just plan your meals now as meticulously as you did at the beginning.  I am nearly 15 months out and still use Fitday everyday.  It keeps me honest and I know what I can and cannot do. 

I understand your fear and concerns so well.  Breathe and do the best you can.  This is a lifelong process about health.  Taking care of you is what is important.
