Gigs525 38 Posted December 11, 2015 @@LoseItKacy Sounds like a good plan & what a lot of people are on except the 1/4 of cup after 2 months seems limited but our plans are all different. I think mine allowing me a cup at 3 months is way too much!! I'm staying at 2/3 cup for at least 6 months 3x a day. If my blood work shows different I will change. Oh I do have 1 snack a day of lowfat string cheese 50 cal. & 7 grams of Protein after I walk. I'm also staying away from carbs & all sugar. Saw my Nut and surgeon yesterday. Both are thrilled with my progress. I am 4 weeks post rny. I was cleared for all foods. I am to have 6 meals/ Snacks per day. Never to exceed 1/2 cup of either, FOREVER! NUT told me to work up to 1000 calories per day as my body will tolerate. I'm currently about 600. My program was very strict pre op for 6 months. Not because of ins. Requirements, but because that's how the surgeon does it. He wants the head habits changed as much as possible before the rny . So far, so good with my food tolerance. Now if I could only poop, I'd be golden!!!LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
60&goin4it 931 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Wow 1/2 cup forever! well it adds up over a day to about the same when you figure a cup at 3 meals. It sounds like a good plan & makes sense, so even when your hunger returns you will feel up fast!!! I think I better stay at 2/3 cup since I'm already there, & maybe add a meal after I talk with my nut on Jan. 8. That will be at 3 months. I've been adding benefiber to my Water everyday & that is helping me. Thanks for the input you are doing awesome!!!

I'm at a stall this week, but slacked on the exercise. Will pick it back up after the 1st. You have done really well with your weight loss!
