Deborah, I experience the same things that you do at times. When I crave chips, I will grab a few pork rinds which has zero carbs and I also eat nuts, and beef jerky. You are doing fine....the scale will start moving in the right direction again.

I had a DS. I eat 1500-1800 calories a day and am still losing steadily.

That's funny because I have doctor scales. Every 50 lbs I get to move the big weight over to the left a notch. It's great!

Topic: Overeating???
I guess I should not ask this because I know the answer I am sure. Can I be over eating. I eat maybe 3 or 4 meals a day. Depends on what I eat. I start with milk in the morning. Around 9:00 or 9:30, I cut off a piece of cheese that is two inches in length and about one half and inch thick. I then usually drink water then around 1:00 I eat another peice and maybe a slice of turkey. I then drink water and eat whatever my family eats for supper. But then when the lights go out and everyone is in bed, I get up and eat snack stuff. Like a tablespoon of potatoe salad or a handful of dry cereal and even a cookie. Not all at once. This sounds like binge eating. I know. I am about to call my nutritionist as the more I type the more I know the answer. Yesterday, I had cheese in the am and in the afternoon I ate not quite half a pizza pastery made out of a light crossiant. Yes I ate the bread. Not proud of it. Then at dinner, I turned around and ate a very small slice of pizza. Started with just the toppings then it ended up being a slice. I always get my proteing in with my shake, cheese. What do you think. Is four ounces of food or even six ounces to much? I need to measure more. I put it in a cup prior and it looks like alot when you place 6 ounces of food. But when you chew/break it down it is not that much. I just cut myself off. I have no sense of full and never have. This am I had a egg/sausage burrito without the shell. I just spooned it off egg/saugsage/cheese. I ate all the fillings. I bet it was at least 4 ounces. I did not measure it but that is what it looked like. I will not eat again until about 3. sorry for rambling. I just feel like I eat to much.

Hi Deborah
I find the same problem, the other night I went out to dinner and was like a bottomless pit and ate the whole dinner and last night I could hardly finish a whole peice of chicken and I didn't get enough protein in so I was eating a protein bar at 11:30 at night just to get enough in. I have days when I am not hungry at all and others when my body just wants to eat and eat. I try to have five or six small meals a day to get enough protein in. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Sometimes there isn't enough time in the day to eat enough. I make sure I get enough liquids in though. I have been told that on the days you exercise your body will crave carbs 
more then other days. I haven't lost much in the past two months but find I am losing inches also. The doctors have told me that your body is continuing to change as you lose weight, so even if you don't see it coming off on the scales you can feel it in your clothes. Keep up the good work and continue to make good food choices and I am sure you will do fine.

Topic: RE: All liquid? Why not learn to eat balanced?
I only do an all liquid day if my...potty habits get backed up. (If you understand my meaning).
I've found that an all liquid day for the sake of losing weight really doesn't do anything...that just by drinking more during a day period the weight seems to come off a little easier (I think by increasing trips to the potty, flushing out all the bad stuff).
However...to each his own. If it works for some people, more power to them. Its not for me. Frankly, I like food. I always have. I enjoy eating. Its taken me a long time (finally in the last month) to enjoy food again.
Sure, I can't eat like I used to (amount and food type both), but I am learning how to cook healthly all over again.
I'm down 105 lbs at 7 months post-op which is just mind blowing to me. I thought at -40 lbs I was done for. Yet, here I am. I've had 3 month long plateaus along the way...so basically, I've lost 105 lbs in only 4 months (of actually losing months). HECK YEAH!
So...I'm going to drink my huge bottle of crystal light...then go eat something. Don't know what yet...but tomatos will be involved!
Topic: Amounts
Does anyone know how many calories per day we should be at now and how much protein per day?
