Question:
Am I eating too much???

I will be one year post op tomorrow. I have lost 111 lbs and am wearing mediums and size 10 pants. I am fearful that I am eating too much and might gain the weight back. I can eat two pieces of Tombstone pizza at a time. I exercise 7 days a week for an hour a day ( 30 minutes at "Curves" and walk 30 min). Should I be worried???    — Lori K.

No, I wouldn't be worried...I can usually eat two slices Papa John's "large" (look more like mediums to me) pizza no problem. I eat slow and leave the crust on at least one slice, but I've been able to do that since about 7 months out. I exercise 5 days a week , I'm 15 months post-op and still loosing, slow but sure. -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 -137

I can eat a piece and a half of pizza and I wonder sometimes if I eat too much.....quantity and/or quality isn't necessarily the issue (at least in my opinion). The issue is weighing weekly or monthly and if you see a couple lbs. creep on, get them off immediately. Don't do what we've done in the past and let 2 come on, then another 2, then 5, then 10, and the next thing you know you've gained 20 lbs.....and it's harder to get off now that it was when we first started losing weight after WLS.
