I’ve always been a healthy eater-just too much- I always had a huge appetite and got to almost 300 pounds eating pretty healthy. I did snack a lot- ate a lot of fruit - and def ate carbs. But I never often ate fried food, junk like chips, or donuts muffins and other sweet carbs. On occasion I did- like my normal weight friends. So the question is- I’m def eating a lot less at 3 mos post op but still eat similar foods except for the large amounts. Protein veggies and a little carbs are my staples. I have a bite of my family desserts at restaurants very rarely. I exercise a lot- today walked 8 miles. I just noticed that for those who make a huge 360 in their eating habits are making huge gains in weight loss. My eating habits are more about portion due to the sleeve. Will I lose as much weight as those making a huge change. I’m not finding the transition that different and so this process seems easier for me. But I’ve only lost 50 so far- now about 10 a month. Anyone have the same experience. Just wondering if I should do some 360 changes like no carbs- which would be depressing and stressful.
