Omg I can eat food and it scare me to death

[spainter2009 12]

I am just a year out from my bypass and I can eat whatever I want just in smaller position and this scares me so much. I been counting calories and even tho I can't each as much I still can eat a ton of calories. I have been at a plateau for about three months now. I need some help on how to get back on track.

Just keep with the program and it will start to come off again!

That is the problem I think I really never had a program to follow was on my own so not sure what to do.

Speak to your doctor's office and ask how many calories, how many grams of Protein, etc you should be eating at this stage. Log everything you put in your mouth in some program like My Fitness Pal, Fat Secret, Sparkpeople, etc. (there are tons of choices both for computer and phone/tablet apps).

go back to the very basics of enough Water, Protein first and then small amounts of vegetables - I would recommend choosing low carb ones, skip things like potatoes, corn and peas, which are starchy. Just google "low carb vegetables" and you'll probably get a lot of hits, or check the Atkins site if you need something more structured for awhile.

while ultimately it's best to choose unprocessed foods as much as possible, if you still have a sweet tooth after surgery, you may want to have a few small things like artificially sweetened Protein Bars to have on hand in case the sweets gremlin strikes you. Just try to find the ones with the lowest carb numbers.

Good luck getting back on track!
