How much can you eat when you're at your sweet spot? Be specific...approx. how many bites of food and what kind of food. Like if it's Soup...is it a cup or half cup or if it's meat...is it the size of a deck of cards or smaller? If it's a meal...what does it consist of and how much?

I'm just having some problems and I'm trying to figure out if I'm eating too much or something.

I eat cottage cheese too.....I like it with peaches on top.I found I think it's Del monte makes pre-package low sugar or sugar free peaches in syrup with only 25 calories they are very good.I think I'll try it with jam,that sounds good!!:scared2:

Hi Kat,

Something that helps me get in enough Protein is to include a Protein shake snack during the day (either mid-morning or mid-afternoon). Since I'm lazy, I just buy Myoplex Lite chocolate shakes. I get them at Walmart or BJ's (both at very good prices). They have 20 gm of protein in 11 oz. I also try to target 60+ gms of protein per day.....I like fish, so eat a fair amount of that. Three oz of salmon has 17 gm of protein. I also like Greek yogurt--a 6 oz container of nonfat Fage (the brand) has 15 gm of protein. Since I don't much like cottage cheese, the Greek yogurt does more for me....I add fresh strawberries and some Splenda in the morning. I also make a tartar sauce out of it to go with the fish. Good luck!!

God created our bodies to let us know when something is wrong! It's amazing!

Actually, It's Science!

:smile2:

At my max restriction I can eat about 1/2 cup or the equivalent of a good start veggie pattie with a slice of cheese on it (thats what I just finished)

I cannot feel hunger pangs anymore I just feel weak when I need to eat so I would say its about 4-5 hours between meals.

Actually, It's Science!

:eek:

I don't know why you felt compelled to write this but as for me and my house we worship the LORD!

Amen to that!

Has anyone experienced blood when your food comes back up? I have days where I can eat like a normal person, then I have days where nothing stays down. The blood happened today, and it scared me. I have already called the doc.

I was actually just talking to someone on here who was having the same problem. She was intolerant to the band and had it removed. I was having issues where I was throwing up alot but then other days I could eat. I was advised to get an unfill. I had one Friday and it helped sooooo much. What did your doc say? Is he or she gonna take a look? It doesn't sound good.

Here's a typical day's food for me. I've been eating pretty much this amount everyday since my 1 year surgerversary. :-)
