Can anyone tell me how much good they are consuming 6 months and a year out?

Are you able to eat more thans few bites if you go out with friends or the one who can only gave a few bites and puts the rest in a to go container?

I'm 6 months out and the amount I can eat depends on the food and even the time of day sometimes. For example I can eat a whole bagel and cream cheese when I have "coffee" with friends or I opt to just drink tea. For the other meals I always get a doggy bag. For instance at Outback I can usually eat 1/2 a small steak and 1/2 to 3/4 of a veggie side.

I can't eat a whole meal for sure when I go out. I always take food home.

It feels like my eating hasn't changed but then I write it down or really think about it and I don't eat even a portion of what I used to, I'm just completely satisfied.

If I order a steak or chicken in a restaurant, I really can't eat that much of it. In fact, I probably eat a smaller portion than what I am supposed to.

Last night I went out to eat and had some hummus for an appetizer (I did have some of the pita wedges with it but also just had some hummus on my spoon--it was amazing!). Then for dinner I had a salad with grilled chicken on it. I don't think there was 3-4 oz of chicken on it but I didn't eat it all and also didn't eat that much lettuce. I took it home. But I was more than satisfied.

At home, if I have a chicken breast or steak, can't eat that much. But if I make a chili or a stew of some sort, I can eat more than a cup's worth, though have been trying to eat about a cup. The problem is that I can't measure how much Protein I"m getting and am filling up on the veggies and things inside the chili or stew.

Someone had posted a Turkey Skillet recipe that I am now living on quite a bit. I keep making a batch of it and eat it for dinner throughout the week.

I am trying to not try too many new things. I'm good with routine and eating the same thing over and over for now.

Also, when I still feel hungry after my little meal, I eat a couple spoonfuls of cottage cheese and I'm completely done then. It's a nice filler and is Protein. I would love to also hear what others are eating

I eat alot of greek yogurt and fish. I don't eat much beef as it doesn't agree with my stomach too well. I love ground turkey and ground chicken cause it's easy to portion out. I'll do homemade slider size burgers alot and 1 of those is enough for me. I too can fill up on Soups and veggies more than the Protein. And pasta...well I try to stay away from that cause it fills me up way to fast.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
