How much should I be able to eat at a single sitting? 8 yrs out

Id say I eat 1/2 a typical restaurant sized meal... I don't weigh/measure any more so its hard to say.. also depends on what I am eating how quickly I will get full. I feel I eat "normal" compared to most people.. however if I eat around somebody who doesn't know I had WLS they usually comment at how little I eat.. or how I only eat 1/2 etc. I like feeling satisfied more than I like feeling full... to me when I fell full its usually over full and not comfortable..

I'm 6 1/2 years out.  I have a shake for breakfast with 1 cup of   almond milk.  Mid-morning I have Greek yogurt or cheese stick, something with protein.  Lunch may be a salad with Turkey, cheese or chicken.  Afternoon snack might be a Quest or Think Thin bar or a protein powder mixed in water and lots of ice.  Dinner is meat, fish or chicken and  a veggie. I don't weigh my food often, but when I weigh meat or chicken it's 2-3 oz.  

One thing I can eat a lot of is  tortilla chips so I avoid them.  I occasionally eat at a Mexican restaurant and indulge I chip.  When I eat all, I always bring half home..

Until recently, I couldn't stand eggs....weird.

I am 6 years out from rny. I had a great success, losing 150 lbs. My issue: I was never full! From early on, I could eat a LOT at a sitting..for example, a large tossed salad and a whole chicken breast. No restriction at all. Also no dumping. I managed to incorporate healthy habits like drinking my water, exercise and weighing an measuring everything I ate. However, I have had a pretty large regain of 55 lbs ...mostly because I quit measuring and started incorporating unhealthy food choices. I have an incredible sweet tooth! I found an awesome program that is ideal for wls grads, convenient, healthy and doable. Mostly I love it because when I am following the plan I am never hungry! I have lost 23 lbs since Jan. 1 and it is amazing! I would love to share with you if you will message me!

I would love to know what you are doing to lose again.

I am doing a program called Take Shape For Life. It is not a "magic pill" or quick fix, but a nutritionally sound, doctor created program. Basically, you eat 5 small pre-packaged "meals" per day-one every 3 hours. Each meal is equally balanced in calories, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins and minerals etc. so your body responds so well to it! Along with the 5 pre-packaged meals you also eat one lean and green meal per day. (5 and 1 plan****il you reach your goal, then you transition into maintenance. All with the help and encouragement of a personal health coach! I have now lost 31 lbs since Jan.2 and hope to start transitioning into maintenance in about 10 more lbs! I am seldom hungry and have energy to burn! I think I have finally resolved my unhealthy relationship with food.

12 years out and I thankfully can not eat very much so I try to make good choices . Screw up sometimes, not perfect but maintaining my loss. I personally would not do a shake if you feel hunger. I can eat one egg. But each person is different.
