Topic: RE: How much are you eating?
I think I eat too much also....
Today I had:
B: protein shake
S: Weight control oatmeal and cheese stick
L: 2 oz meat and squash from BBQ place near my work
D: The rest of my lunch
Oh yeah, my evil co-workers had bagel crisps and I had a few of those too.
I've lost 50lbs so I guess I am doing ok.
Topic: RE: protein bars
I like the Adkins Advantage bars/Adkins Breakfast bars. They are small 1.3-1.5 oz and have about 13g protein.

Topic: RE: popcorn
I had popcorn for the first time a week or so ago. I was just really careful with the hard kernals and removed them....which makes eating popcorn very time consuming! lol

I order the pizza from: http://www.pizzafree.com/
I like them - but I'm not the most picky person about pizza. It's more just the thought that I can have pizza again!
Topic: RE: How much are you eating?
When I read all of the posts seems like my doctor is the only one who doesn't belive in snacks....I am suppose to focus on 2 meals a day and a shake.
yesterday I ate...
b most of a bowl of weight control oatmeal
protein shake
d tuna melts on low fat crackers
I wonder sometimes if this is why I am losing so slow...Was 8 weeks out wednesday and down 31 pounds...I wonder if I am not eating enough.
Topic: RE: How much are you eating?
I am curious, too, about what others are eating, so yours was a great post. I've been satisfied with my weight loss - 40 lbs since surgery date and haven't had too many problems with eating. I've also been pretty strict with my diet so far - thanks in part to not craving much other than protein.
Yesterday I had:
Kashi Go Lean oatmeal (1/2 cup)
Turkey, mozzarella, artichokes mixed 1/2 to 3/4 cup
8 oz Nectar protein drink
Fit & Free pizza (fat free pizza I ordered online) 1/2 of a 6" round
I think I had just under 40oz water
Thanks for posting - great idea. I'll be anxious to see what others in our surgery date range are eating.
Topic: How much are you eating?
I will be 9 weeks out on Monday. I have been on regular food since 6 weeks. I am supposed to be eating 75 grams of protein a day, minimal carbs, 2 or less grams of sugar per serving and get between 28 and 46 grams of fat a day.
I am curious as to what others at around 8 or 9 weeks are eating through out the day. I have been tracking on nutridiary.com and really like it. It allows you to track sugars where fitday.com does not.
Today I had:
b-Carb and sugar control vanilla yogurt with a TBSP of baby food bananas and a TBSP of bran
s-1 oz low fat cheese and two low fat triscuits
L-a few bits of lettuce, 1/2 oz of chicken, 8 pretzel and peanut butter nuggets (not a great choice)
s-1 oz beef jerky
D-1/2 cup imitation lobster with low fat mayo, onion and celery with 2 pieces of fat free Rye melba toast
s-pure protein bar
64 oz of water and crystal light
I feel like I am eating way more than what others are eating and yet I am staying with in the guidelines of my program. I am interested in seeing if I am on par with others the same distance out.
Thanks!

Cindy,
I don't see drastic changes either, but other people do. I can also feel the difference in my clothes. I recommend that you measure yourself regularly if you haven't already. There is a good tool at www.weighttracker.info. I have found it extremly motivating and helpful.
