I am 2 years post-op BPD/DS.

I've gone from 333lbs down to 215lbs, most of that loss within the first year. I have to admit I have been the worst post-op eater, basically eating anything and everything I wanted! As with the BPD/DS, I can consume "normal" size portions, and I do. Well, now I want to lose the rest of this weight (want to get down to 150-170lbs, I think... I'm 5'9 tall). I have cut out all "junk" food and soda, etc. I have upped my protein (just in the last few days!) and I am paying attention now to every bite I eat. My question is; at 2+ years post-op (from the BPD/DS) how many calories and carbs should I be consuming in order to lose the rest of this weight? I am too embarrassed to ask my nutritionist (haven't seen her since the first year) because I've never admitted that I was still eating all the junk food and such (having lost 100+ lbs no one questioned me). What can I do NOW to lose the rest of the weight and how much should I be eating? I'd really like to hear from you longer-term post-ops out there, especially those who also have the DS. Thanks!!!
