I will be 4 mo out on April 27th. I feel like I can eat too much. Definitely more than the 1/4 cup they had me on when I first graduated to real food post surgery. I have really bad-long stalls, and I'm getting frustrated and discouraged. So I'm wondering what other people who are around 3-5 mo post op do? What are you eating all day? How much and how often?

Thanks!

I'm 3 1/2 monts out and I am down 58 pounds. I didn't lost any weigh pre op. Doctor didn't make me and insurance didn't require it. I can not eat more than 1/2 cup of food at a time.

I always have a shake for breakfast

Snack: I will have a piece of cheese or a yogurt (if I am hungry)

Lunch: usually a lunch meat roll up or some egg salad/ and a couple slices of cucumbers

Dinner: Have whatever I cook for the family

Snack: a sugar free fudge pop EVERY night! LOL. It's my favorite snack.

I had only one stall and it lasted for 10 days. I switched to a Protein shake in the AM and started losing. I also exercise a lot. I spin and work out with a trainer. The lower I get the more I need to exercise to lose weight.

Good Luck and hope this helps.

I'm just past the 4 month mark - I've lost 59.2 pounds!. I'm so thrilled! MOMof2 - I LOVE sugar free Fudgesicles! I eat 5 small meals to get in around 1000 - 1200 calories... I try to burn about 2200 calories a day. I have a Body Media that I wear on my arm. It's helped me stay focused. I log all my food to make sure I'm getting in enough calories - I tend to get to the afternoon and have only consumed 400 or 500 calories. I got my daughter one and she's lost 30 lbs using it since January.

I can't believe how light I feel - and I know there's more to come. I posted some of these before but here are some highlights of my success, so far:

Now fitting in size 12 pants - used to be 16 or 18 (Apple body type) and Large misses shirt (No longer searching out the Plus size clothing)

Can walk up stairs to my 4th floor office without gasping for breath (as I've done before)

Sat in a plane seat without the tray hitting my stomach.

And today, I noticed how far I am from the steering wheel in my car!

There are so many Non-scale Victories! - but those are the most obvious.

Good luck to everyone. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself.
