I though my I'd lose way faster than the chart because I always have (even though I always gained it back pre surgery). I still don't get why this goes so slowly unless it's just the healing factor changes metabolism.

Anyway, just so you know this sad chart seems to be pretty accurate for me. Nice to be able to predict something.

But, boy can I eat. 2 fried eggs just like a normal person, a couple mozzarella sticks (string cheese thingies), and 4 Popsicles. No problem. It's all on my program. And yes, I'm on purées so that ease could change. Yesterday in 2 days I ate a log of fresh soft mozzarella. Delish! But seems like a lot of food.

I eat turkey chili - 1/2 can for a meal. Yum. I'm 6 weeks out in Monday.

Is this ok?

Everyone on here is either obese or has been there. We all remember our past eating habits. One corn dog and one banana is a restricted meal compared to how we used to eat. I don't know about anyone else but I could sit and easily eat three or four corn dogs. If you have no restriction then why wouldn't you eat like in the past. It sounds like you do have restrictions, maybe the restrictions just aren't what you expected. I read posts about people who can only eat a few spoonfuls at a time. That probably isn't the case with you. That being said, it seems you should concentrate on nutrition if you truly want to experience permanent weight loss and improved long term good health. Whether your surgeon and/or NUT tells you too or not, do what is best for yourself. Take this time to learn
