Well, I had my surgery on December 3rd, so that puts me at what, 6 weeks out ? Here is my question (or questions, knowing me). I think I'm getting to hungry ? I'm eating about 3 meals a day, sometimes only 2. But on certain days, I might eat 4 SMALL meals a day (meaning, I take 3 bites and I'm full). I dont know. I've lost exactly 35 pounds, last I had checked. I'm eating most things now, I dont even need to toast my breads when I eat bread, although I pretty much avoid bread al together. My meals mostly consist of crackers & cheese, chicken wrap, things like that. When I eat crackers I can eat between 2 and 4 (with the cheese). And when I eat a sandwich (lunchmeat, a wrap thats average sized I guess .... ) I can usually eat 1/2 of the sandwich or almost half. Am I eating to much? I'm not sure what to try now, I want to eat better foods for me, but I work during the day and I can not take things that need to be kept cold or put in a microwave. Any suggestions ? Does it sound like I'm doing alright? I'm worried because I'm starting to feel hunger sometimes, but when I eat I get full right away. I'm worried about not loosing anymore and that I'm stretching my pouch ?!!!!!!!

Congratuations! I'm glad to hear you're home and doing well!!

you won't be hungry or really have a real hunger till like 2 month. You're eating as much as you should for a month out. at a month out I couldn't eat toast or crackers. I pretty much was just eating scrambled eggs, peanut butter, cottage chesse, yogurt, string chesse, protein drinks. I just was walking a month out and getting on the stair machine thats it. Also I was only doing about 50 or 60% of my max since my body was still recoverying from surgery. Does your college have a gym that you can use?
