5 months post op

I'm 5 months post op. And down 60 lbs or so. Been working out n working with a trainer. I do feel better that I've lost the 60 lbs. Just ready to kick it gear to get the remaining 50 lbs gone. I find it still hard to get in all my water. How many meals does everyone eat? What is typical day of meals look like for yall? I don't know if I'm not getting enough water/protein in. I will admit the past 2 weekends I've slipped up on my eating n letting so old habits creep back up. I know I shouldn't beat myself up over this since we all make mistakes n I'm still learning. Any advice would be great.

Nope, don't beat yourself up. Slips happen...just move forward. You know what you should eat, so it's a brand new day! :)

I'm 8 months out and I eat 4-6 meals a day. Each meal is 4-5 oz and contains 3 oz Protein with 1-2 oz veggies. My meals are generally 200-250 calories. I try to keep carbs under 10g per meal. I don't eat bread, Pasta, rice, or potatoes. I limit processed foods as much as possible. I don't eat organic because I'm a tightwad, but I do buy fresh meats/veggies as much as possible.

I weigh all my food when I'm preparing my meals to keep me from over-indulging. I eat pretty fast still, so I need to keep my portions below my sleeve capacity.

Best of luck to ya!
