how much do you eat? I am eating too much



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
