How much is everyone eating? I have found I want a few bites more at meal times. I can eat about 5 oz now. I weigh all my food so I know 5 oz fills me up. But a month ago it was 4 oz. Anyone else able to eat more?

Are you tracking your foods? Whats your calorie intake and carbs? Are you doing any actives (working out)?

[tmartin87_05 41]

I'm only 5'5 so I'm right there with ya.

I eat around 1,000cals/day. I don't watch my carbs too much but try to not eat too much bread/rice/potatoes etc. I get at least 60g of Protein and about 60oz of Water a day.

I track my food and exercise on my fitness pal. Username is tarastars1 if you want to add me.

I workout 4-5 times a week doing both cardio and weights.

[sophiepants 489]

Awesome.

I'm on mfp as ersopher I'll look ya up there.

I'm at about 1000 caliores 50 carbs (which I tend to go over lately) 88-100 Protein and I try to hit 8-10 glasses of Water. I strained my groin muscle a few months ago and tryd to let it rest and It's not healing so I'll be starting PT soon. Frack! lol

I want to be active again shitted I;ve lost 105 pounds in less than a year I WANNA LIVE

I find different days I can eat different amounts. Some days I can hold 1/2 cup of food. some days 3/4 c of food. Also different foods make a difference to the amount. Sat. I tried to eat 6 ounces of mahimahi, almost threw up. 4 oz of fish is all I can eat. Yogurt I can eat 6 oz.. My calories are between 700-900 60-70 grams of Protein. I do not count carbs, but drink about 64 ounces a day. Sophiepants, I am 5'6" too down 73 pounds as of tuesday. I do not use MFP. It is too long to use. I keep everything in a journal, which I carry everywhere with me. I like being accountable for what I eat.

That is true about eating different amounts different days. I do feel that I seem I eat a tad more now with out the hurt. I always eat my protein first at each meal. I am a carb freak. lol

You sound like your doing great!

I used to write down my foods in a journal daily when I stared too. I use mfp and it's gotten so much easier.

Sounds like everyone is doing GREAT! I am loving my sleeve. I have been a little disappointed with my weight loss lately...only lost 4 pounds last month and 2 of those pounds have been in the last week!! (yikes). I have been exercising and tracking my intake on MFP like a mad-man lately! This is the first stall I have experienced, so hopefully things will start to change. I am down a total of 83 pounds since my pre-op diet, something that would never have happened with out WLS. This has truly been a life-changing event! I am sooooo glad I finally did this for ME!

Keep up the good work, everyone!

Oh thank god lol I totally thought I was eating so much more than I should.

I can definitely get 5 oz. down of ground beef and about 4 oz. of shredded chicken breast. I get so anxious when I read people who are like a year out and only able to get in 2-3 in! Relieved to hear others are in the same boat!

Hi everyone,

Good to hear how y'all are doing.

Things are going well for me. How much I can eat each day varies for me too, but usually around 800 calories. Some days I just don't feel like eating and get in 500-600. Lately I started working out with a trainer and have had a few days where I was actually hungry (nothing like pre-surgery though) and ate 900-1000 calories. I needed to make use of more veggies to fill myself up after I got my Protein in.

I still can only eat half a cup of food at a sitting. Protein: maybe 2-3 ounces, then a couple of bites of veg. I have my 3 meals a day plus a snack midmorning and midafternoon.

Have had some stalls along the way, but never more than a few weeks. Even during stalls I still lost inches.

My biggest problem is eating slowly. That is the worst habit to break and I wasn't even a speed eater to start with.
