And I don't know why I want it. Although I'm still eating in the same calorie range. Seems like all of a sudden (last 2weeks) I've been having crazy cravings for chips and Cookies. I'm three months post op and have lost 40 lbs. before I would eat my meal feel grossly full after a half cup. Now, I fell grossly full and then 20 min later I feel hungry all over again. Not sure what's going on but I don't like it :-/

I'm thinking maybe I'm not getting enough calories. I'm trying to eat 800 a day but only getting usually about 600. How many calories should I be getting in at 3 months post op? And do you track your carbs? I try to stay under 45 a day.

I will be 3 months out next week and I track fat and carbs not so much calories cause I don't eat over 600 but I try to eat under 30 carbs which is hard everything has carbs in it even greek yogurt example of meals breakfast egg beater, a slice of fat free cheese, 1 slice of turkey breast, lunch fat free cottage cheese and 5 grapes, dinner which is the bulk of my carbs bocca chicken patty its so good but about 40 calories in fat and due to it being breaded it has carbs when I finsh this box I'm done with them for a while going to stick to lobster tails and shrimp and my carb intake should be under 15 a day so carbs matter. I also am guilty of snacking latley nilla waffers and reduced fat ritz crackers haven't had them in two days trying to get to 190 by next Friday. Still haven't had any fast food yeah just the snacking on crackers and cookies but in all lost 59 pounds so far probably would of lost more if it wasn't for all the mistakes I made example eating the wrong soups, drinking gatarade tons of sugar in a bottle among other things.

Roasted pumpkin seeds, shell and all, are a crunchy, salty treat with a nice nutritional profile if you don't go crazy.

Thanks for the reply, what's your daily target for fat? I hate half of a breakfast burrito from McDonald's this morning along with one bite of hashbrown. Fast food has never been appealing to me so I don't see that ever becoming a problem. I had to eat that this morning because I was on a 5 hour car ride and only had time for a drive thru. I generally eat fast food maybe 5 or 6 times a year.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that!

No more than 20 grams of fat
