Your thinking too much into it. Your going to drive yourself crazy. You should have a nutritionist who broke all this down for you. If not speak with your surgeon so he/she can offer you a plan. I simply write down everything that I consume. We should be eating 6 small meals a day. When I prepare my meals and began to eat. I make sure I eat the Protein first. I may have a chicken breast and will only eat half. That is cooked on the George Forman grill or baked in the oven or grill. Once a month it's fried. I do this at the beginning of every month. It's my treat. As for the sides I generally get a spoon full or two. Also the smallest plate in the house. I'm not much of a Water girl so my drinks I dilute with plenty of water. I'm working on the water but I will not stress over that. I walk 4/5 miles a day and do P90x. My surgeon wants me to join a gym but I opt not to. Have a dialog with your surgeon and your nutritionist to find what works for you.

CutieK don't feel bad. I was right were you are. It will get better. Remember for years we have been able to consume anything without restrictions but once someone puts restrictions on us. We want to kick the doors open and be normal. This is a process and it doesn't happen overnight. Just know to take it one second of the day and trust me I'm 5 weeks in and I'm feeling a little normal. I can eat more things and even started eating more veggie burger and fine them very good. Learn the new you and embrace who you are. A new you ????

Wooooo Nelly slow it down. Your body is healing inside as well. Trust me I was just where you were and ended up back at the hospital. Take your time and ease into the running. It will happen but don't rush it.

Thanks for that tip Rose I will try it

You look great. Keep up the good work

Lost 45 lbs in 3 months.... still losing and feeling great!!
