Amount of food post surgery

[Nazz 6]

So I’m 6 months post op and have lost 70 since surgery and 132 since the start of program. My question is how much food are ppl eating 6 months out I try to manage 2 good meals a day and maybe a snack trying to keep my calories under 1600 a day. Are you suppose to measure out why you eat my weight or calories.

A typical meal for me is amour 6 oz of boneless chicken breast seasoned and cooked with a little Water. 1/2-3/4 of white rice and like a half cup of peas, corn or carrots. But I did notice if I put all that on a scale it weighs about 12 oz.

I'm closing in on five months out. I eat 1000-1200 calories a day. Typically, in six little meals that are about 1/2 cup or so in volume.

If I eat a slider food (yogurt, oatmeal, cottage cheese) my volume might be a little more, but I go slow.

You might consider switching your white rice out for brown rice. It's more nutritious and will cause less of an insulin spike...and less rebound hunger.

Did you have sleeve or RNY?

I got rny I tried to eat multiple small meals but it has been hard to get them in. I think my stomach has expanded some, no where like it used to be but I can still eat 10-12 punches of food at one sitting. So I am trying to make sure my calorie count is good. And stay away from junk food. There was a 2 week period where I had no weight loss I’m pretty sure it’s cause I stopped watching calories like the amount butter or Condiments or fried food and I think I was way over in calories even tho I didn’t eat a lot. So I now know what to eat when I want to maintain the weight but I still want to lose about 40-50 more pounds.
