I can easily eat 1400 cals a day and I'm not eating bad.... I don't think.

Breakfast- 1.5 servings vanilla chai tea

Midmorn- laughing cow light cheese wedge, 8 turkey pepperoni's

Lunch- oven "fried" chicken (baked with cornflakes) and spinach

Mid afternoon- same as mid morn

Dinner- string Beans and 1.5 perdue chicken strips.

By the way I am hungry a lot of the day. I also drink a lot of Water. I ca easily drink 10 cups of water and 100grams Protein.< /p>

input please

I would get more fresh fruit/veggies (if you can have those) instead of 16 turkey pepperoni's a day.

I know you have probably been asked this, but are you taking a PPI?

It helped me so much with "hunger" throughout the day.

Also, you aren't supposed to be eating until you are full, just until you are no longer hungry. There is a difference and for me it is almost 2 pieces of light salami.

What is in the chai tea? Sugar? Protein? Why don't you switch it out for a low calorie high Protein One? They make some powders that taste amazing. I am a big fan of Click, they make coffee ones with 15g Protein.< /p>

Is there more that you're eating? I added your menu up real quick and it only came to about 550 calories. 47 grams of Protein and 50 grams of carbs. The cornflakes on your chicken account for half of those carbs. If you just baked your chicken without the corn flakes you'd help keep your blood sugar more regulated by not introducing so much insulin into your system after that meal.

And if that is truly all you're eating then no wonder you're hungry. Plus, you're really not eating Breakfast. The most important meal of the day. And those turkey pepperoni's....I love them. But really they don't pack much volume for the calories they deliver. Not that they are that many calories, but you could eat a boiled egg for the same calories and it would be way more filling than the little pepperoni's...in my opinion.

Thanks for ur opinions. When I put it in MFP it came up to 1200 cals.. but the tea was bolthouse farms so that was a lot.

I also think the fruit and veg idea is something I need to work on. I kinda cut it out of my life to focus on Protein 9and I'm a veggie lover.

I stopped taking my prevacid 3 days ago because I ran out. If that's why I'm hungry I need to get something asap.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
