Question:
I am 3 years out...how much should I be eating?

Sometimes I feel like I m eating too much and feel like I am gaining weight, my weight usually stays between 135-140 lbs, I was 263 lbs the day I had my surgery. How much should I be eating at this point? I don't wont to gain my weight back.....PLEASE HELP!!!    — Dawn W. (posted on October 21, 2012)

Stick with 4 oz per meal 5 times a day. Follw the basics you were taught in the first place.

I am just about 3 years out also. I eat 5-6 oz per meal 3 times a day. my weight has fluctuated 5-6 six pounds up and down. I seem to be maintaining wt 170-180. I started off at 310 pounds. Do what you did when you started this journey and you should be find. Keep up the good work.

Go back to your doctor and ask him, you should have been paying attention the first time he explained it. My doctor told me what to do, when to do it, what not to do, and what I will be doing 2, 5, 10, 20,and 50 years after the surgery, if yours didn't have him do so or find a doctor that will. I had the Roux en-Y (distal) bypass about 17 years ago and my doctor told me what I should be eating today back when I had it done. I am doing great and feel wonderful. But I never had any questions on what I was suppose to be doing or eating even now it's been 17 years. If you do you need to have your doctor re-explain it to you.
