That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Patty. :)
I am a grazer and I don't keep track of when I eat, just what I eat. Yesterday. 50 gr protein shake, turkey vegetable soup(about 2 cups), 1lb ham steak, 2 eggs with pepper jack.
Day before. Italian chopped salad, about 2 cups, and leftover turkey, about a cup, with mayo for dipping. Same protein shake.
I am a DSer almost 20 years postop.

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Exactly times and amounts in an average day
My surgeon recommends that his patients lose 10, 20 or even 30 pounds under their ideal goal. That is because the body adjusts to the effects of the surgery and people have bounce-back regain. For most of us, we did look too skinny for a year or so. Then we have a bit of regain and the face and body filled out again. As long as you do not let your BMI go under 18, you will still be normal weight. Go under 129 would get into being underweight.
You will probably end up at a more normal weight of around 160-170 in year three. But everyone is different, and your results may vary.

You are 5'10". 130lbs is not a reasonable goal. You already look 'normal', right? Try to concentrate on working with what you have and eating right. More protein and fewer carbs. Be at least somewhat more active. Yes, you can still lose weight but you have to work at it!
Hello!
my surgery date was August 2019 STarting Weight: 389 SW: 329 CW: 211 Height 5"10
I had the traditional DS will I continue to loose weight? I really ideally want to be 130 or 140
Thank you so much! Reading this made me feel so much better and I appreciate your input. I have started watching what I am eating and I am determined to get below 200. I have downloaded MyFitnessPal and have started using it. Thank you again.
From my understanding it was from the surgery. My pouch may have been too small. I had a bowel resection in June where the doctor extended the bowel a little more so that I can absorb foods better. It's working but I am at a standstill on back on insulin
