Im 5 months out post op, am i eating too much?

[Thatguy 53]

So im 5 months out post op and im not sure if im eating too much , i was able to eat some chicken nuggets and a chick fil patty in within 2 - 3hrs time

Each doctor seems to have a different plan. my doctor says no more than 3 ounces per meal, and meals only 3 times per day, no snacking or grazing, until 6 months out. Not sure how much nuggets and a chick-fil-a patty add up to, but I would guess I couldn't do that and follow my doctor's orders. What does your doctor recommend?

So don't eat too much

Are you loosing weight? Did the food stay down? Those are the questions I worry about. My sleeve tells me when I eat too much at a single sitting or over a short period of time. And my scale lets me know when I've let the total level of food get out of hand. As long as I continue to drop weight, and I can keep the food down, I figure I'm still on target...Go Sleeve!

holy moly dude

you must be doing something right

wonderful weight loss!!!

my NUT/doc told me it shouldn't take me longer than 30 minutes to eat

if i can't finish, then i'm through

"working" on finishing eating something over a long time period,

taking too long is pushing yourself to eat

its probably "ok" to have a few, but sounds like you know what you are doing

talking to your NUT with any questions is always good

that being said......

you are doing great

since you are losing so well, i'm pretty sure you are not over eating

just never push yourself

you know what the proper measurement is - stick with it - you'll continue to do wonderfully

keep up the good work

Thatguy

many/most (me too) find that as time passes (5 months for you) your stomach is relaxing more..........ahhhhhh.....LOL

not stretching - thats what i hear, and i believe it doesn't stretch

(with the 85% of our removed tummy - the "stretchy" part was taken out

so being "able" to eat more is common

BUT - the expression on the board is...............

"just because you can, doesn't mean you should "

keep up the good work

you must be loving your healthier, happier, longer life

congrats

That makes me think I'm eating to much. I am allowed 4ozs. at a time and I eat 5 times a day. It's usualy 3ozs of lean protien and 1oz of a vegies maybe with some fat free cheese, or greek yogurt, or 3 ozs of low fat cottage cheese with a little fruit. In a usual day I eat at 7am, 10:30, 1;00, 4:00, and 7:00. I am managing to keep my protien at 72 grams or higher and my calorie intake to between 550- 650 a day. I workout 5 days a week, 20-30minutes cartio and 30 minutes weights. I am 3 months and 5 days post op, down 45.8 lbs since surgery, 64.4 since I started the pre op diet and feeling great!
