How much do you eat at a meal at 2 months, 3 months



Recommended Posts

@@LoseItKacy Sounds like a good plan & what a lot of people are on except the 1/4 of cup after 2 months seems limited but our plans are all different. I think mine allowing me a cup at 3 months is way too much!! I'm staying at 2/3 cup for at least 6 months 3x a day. If my blood work shows different I will change. Oh I do have 1 snack a day of lowfat string cheese 50 cal. & 7 grams of Protein after I walk. I'm also staying away from carbs & all sugar.

Saw my Nut and surgeon yesterday. Both are thrilled with my progress. I am 4 weeks post rny.

I was cleared for all foods. I am to have 6 meals/ Snacks per day. Never to exceed 1/2 cup of either, FOREVER! NUT told me to work up to 1000 calories per day as my body will tolerate. I'm currently about 600.

My program was very strict pre op for 6 months. Not because of ins. Requirements, but because that's how the surgeon does it. He wants the head habits changed as much as possible before the rny . So far, so good with my food tolerance. Now if I could only poop, I'd be golden!!!LOL

Wow 1/2 cup forever! well it adds up over a day to about the same when you figure a cup at 3 meals. It sounds like a good plan & makes sense, so even when your hunger returns you will feel up fast!!! I think I better stay at 2/3 cup since I'm already there, & maybe add a meal after I talk with my nut on Jan. 8. That will be at 3 months. I've been adding benefiber to my Water everyday & that is helping me. Thanks for the input you are doing awesome!!!

@@tugs I know, everyone is so different! I'm still at 2/3 cup at a meal with 2 Snacks a day 1 string cheese the other a few nuts chewed really well. I'm at a stall this week, but slacked on the exercise. Will pick it back up after the 1st. You have done really well with your weight loss!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
