i am just wondering...

that's just it  I DON'T REMEMBER THE BEGINNING ..all i did was drink Protein ...the weight came off so easy ...i do understand NO SUGAR ...no rice, pasta , potatoes...but gees out side of going on starvation ( meaning i will be hungry sometimes not really starving) i am lost...i am sorry to bother you guys...just don't want to be sick again...

I limit fruits also.  Fruits - even though may be healthy - trigger my cravings.. 

some starchy veggies.. - same things... 

good luck babe... 

I have to agree with what most people posted.  Fat is good, but be selective. If you are eating dense protein first with some fat and veggies I think you should feel satisfied.  You won't stick with anything if you leave a meal feeling hungry.  I can eat a pint of ice cream, but don't.  However, will feel overfull with 4 oz of chicken breast.  I mostly eat fish so I usually have room for veggies.  I remember the basics which for me was lean protein first, veggies and don't drink for at least 30 minutes after you eat.  I try to go for satisfied and not full.  This is challenging as I like the feeling of being full, not stuffed but full.  If I eat slowly without distractions, I can recognize when I am satisfied.  While I do measure my protein, I eyeball my veggies and fat. I use a spray can for my oils so I am not pouring from a bottle.  Please do not compare what one person can do and be successful to yourself, especially a 14 yr old boy.  We have made suggestions.  You will need to find what works for you.  Usually someone starts a post of what are you eating today.  It is another way of being accountable.  You also might want to track what you are eating at MFP.  Hope this helps some.  

yes mam clarity, doing the Atkins diet left me feeling not hungry but like i was missing out..(ie my strawberries and sometime pineapple ) just depending on what i have ...i rarely eat fruit anyway... it's the sugar and carbs ..bad ones  that added the pounds back on ..MY FAULT... just needed to be reminded that I AM A BYPASS patient and do not have normal insides anymore... and there IS a way we are suppose to eat but not exactly all the same... protein first...vitamins ...water...veggies ( non starchy) PORTION CONTROL...lol i will let you guys know how i am doing next week...

thank you all so very much!!
