For those of you who are 3, 6, 9, 12 months out

I am 3.5 months out & eat .5-1.5 cups 5 times a day. I have lost 40 pounds so far. I make sure to get in at least 65g of Protein & 64 oz of Water daily but don't really track calories or carbs. I usually eat .5 cup of food per meal right after a fill (just had my 3rd, now 5.5 in a 10cc band) and once I am struggling to keep the quantity per meal to a cup or less I know I need another fill. Working for me so far.

My Calcium is hard to space out because it's just a single chew. Same with the others. I think it would be difficult to eat only a part of it and wrap the rest up for later since they're so small. I'm post-menopause so Iron is not a necessity for me. In fact, I was told if I could find multis without Iron that would be better.

Centrum Silver (no iron) comes in a pill and a chewable.< /p>

How much calcium do they have you taking? I'm also post-menopausal and they want me taking 1500mg a day. I take 3 500 mg doses.. morning, noon, night.

I'm 13 months out - I eat about a cup of food at a time, about every 4-5 hours.
