Recommended Posts

What is everyone eating 6 months out and how much? I have lost 94 lbs and am happy but I feel like I can eat way too much. Does anyone else feel like this?

I don't know what you've been eating but I would say keep it up that's awesome weight loss!

Oh by the way I eat anywhere from 800 to 1000 calories a day at five months

Lol see I think you are doing so well, you should be telling us what to eat rather than asking us!

I felt that way too. I'm at 14 months and just had my "one year" visit at the surgeon's office. I CAN hold 8 oz now, but they told me that doesn't mean I SHOULD. They said to keep my portions at 4 oz and my calories at 800 to 900. I said "but I'll die!" She said "no you won't."

So, there you have it. I had to do a bit of a redirect. :/ Now i'm trying not to die.

I'm seven months out and down 101 pounds. I also feel like I can eat a lot. 8 ounces is easily doable for me (I guess my stomach is long). But I agree with Dooter; just because it can hold a lot doesn't mean I have to fill it all.

I also get in three meals and two Snacks and get between 850 and 1000 calories a day, with the occasional treat on top of that. Exercise five days a week. And exercise will power at least five times a day every day!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
