I'm paranoid I'm eating too much. I had been having trouble keeping stuff down, puking almost every time I ate. Then literally overnight, I'm able to eat again, and actually keep it down. I ate an entire cup of Soup tonight, no prob. This morning I had 3 oz of ham. I have been chewing & pacing myself. I'm just wondering if I'm eating too much. I'm almost 3 months post op.

Keep a log with everything you eat & calculate your Protein & carb intake to make sure you're getting all you need

Ditto...I'm really worried about overeating too. I record everything (MyFitnessPal) A staple meal for me is; 1/4 cup edamame & 1-2 ozs beef jerkey. At 51/2 months out I'm starting to get some hunger pangs so I'm trying to eat every 2 1/2 hours. I can and have eaten a cup of soup as long as it's not to dense.

Good Luck to you

I log everything in my fitness pal & I'm always under my calories but I'm just paranoid I've stretched my pouch. Even though my surgeon has assured me that's hard to do. I was able to eat 1/2 cup (chewed very well) tortellini & almost a full (small) slice of garlic bread. I'm still losing so I'll try not to worry too much.

I personally would concentrate on protein and stay away from the carbs. 8 months out and I dont eat any bread... one it hurts and two empty calories. I know that protein helps you stay fuller longer. Just my 2 cents.

I agree, avoid pasta and bread. Stay high on protien and low on carbs and you will be good:)

It really seems to depend on your surgeon. Some are very strict, no carbs sugar etc. Some surgeons, mine included, have very few if any restrictions. I had three weeks of full liquids after surgery and then I was given the ok to stay trying things. At this point, 4 1/2 months out, I can have anything I like in moderation. I have to make sure I get between 40 and 60 grams of Protein per day and he recommended I eat five small meals per day, between 1/2 and 1 cup at a time. I can have have bread, but more than one bite and I don't feel so hot so I avoid it. I have to say it's all worth it though, I'm down 69 lbs so far and I feel amazing!

Thanks...

At the start I had a hundred pounds to lose. My surgeon said he wasn't too concerned about carbs or calories right now since I didn't have hundreds to lose. They want me to focus on Protein and fluids. I have had complications but nothing related to my diet. CHECK WITH YOUR SURGEON AND/OR DIETICIAN! There is no set standard (for anything, I'm learning.)

I am almost 3 months put and have been feeling the exact same way. I can eat anything and it does not effect me. Bread sugar ect. I have to choose to stay away from most of that. I was asking my dietician on Tuesday if she thought I could be eating to much and she said as long as I am not eating until the full feeling that I am doing well. I get in anywhere from 500 to 800 calories a day and 60grams of Protein on most days. My biggest frustration is that I still not getting enough water:-) . Thank you for posting this as I am curios to read others responses.

On average I'm eating about 400 to 500 calories a day and 30 to 40 grams of Protein. I'm about 4 1/2 months out and loss 66 pounds. I really need to increase my Water intake!!! I'm just starting to exercise do I hope that will jump start the weight loss again. I do not eat any bread, had a bite of it and just doesn't taste the same.
