evobuilder 0 Posted March 1, 2010 so I just came across a post of mine from a year ago where I was disappointed with my stalled weight loss. When I posted a year ago, I was at 335. Today, I am at 230... which means over the past year, I have flucctuated around but am only 5 lbs light then I was a year ago and I am not eating that much.... at least that is what I thought. I think the culprits for me are alchohol for sure (I drink Margaritas) = high in sugar The other is that even though I am eating small amounts, I am eating the wroang things... it is still possible to wayy overeat (calories wise) in a small amount of food intake. I am going to talk to my doc this week to see what he thinks about tightening things up... I am at 4.5cc fill on the Realize Band, but I think I need help from the band and from myself. so... guys... what do you eat over the course of a day?

OldSchool76 0 Posted March 1, 2010 I am still early (2 weeks post op) so I follow my Dr's guidelines very closely. 4 oz of allowable mushy food 3X a day plus Protein Shakes in between and the occasional sugar free pop sickle or pudding. Even with no fill (though it may be a vestige of being new) I feel like I can't eat much more quantity than 4-6 oz of even Soup. I suspect that subsides.

btrieger 21 Posted March 1, 2010 Evo, there is a 105 lb difference in the numbers you posted. Either there is a typo or you lost 100 pounds and didn't realize it. Alcohol is empty calories. You are not going to lose weight pounding beers. A friend of mine had bypass; lost obscene weight and gained it all back with the help of Budweiser. If you're going to drink, drink something stronger so that it doesn't take as many to get a buzz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
