Hey i figured i would start posting.

B-4slices of bacon and a hunk of cheddar cheese
L- Wendy's baconator without the bun of course:)
D-Small bowl of chili with Cheese and a few pork rinds.

This is kind of what i have been eating for the past three weeks in order to lose the weight i have been hanging onto, i usually switch up lunch and have a salad with ham and turkey.

I feel like i am not eating enough but i am not allowed to snack in between meals or eat after 8pm i also have huge restriction and for example today it took me three hours to eat my baconater ... crazy or what?

Hi Dutchy!
I saw your post regarding getting back on track earlier. That was really motivational to me! I am surprised that you can't snack. Well, my DR doesn't want me snacking either. Maybe I need to follow your lead. But, I got so confused and your post is a perfect example...
I can eat like 3 or 4 bites of a meal within a meal timeframe. But, then I get hungry later...
Or the meal I am to consume take a long, long time to eat....
So, my question was always, when does a meal become a snack? LOL.

The snacking after 8 pm rule is a good one too.

Anyways, I made the soup that was on here the other day, the enchilada. MY GOD< YUM> !

Well, my food for the day:
2 scoops protein in coffee.
A cup of the enchilada Soup.
4 oz of milk with scoop of protein
another cup of enchilada soup
1.5 of a bag of microwave popcorn
.25 cup of dry roasted peanuts
Vitamins, diet coke, water...

Dutchy,
Why no food after 8? And why so long to eat?

My doctor doesn't want me to eat three hours before bed... so nothing after 8pm, I have had a very hard time losing with my ds and he figures i don't malabsorb like the norm so he put me on a very extreme diet.

Why does it take me long well i have huge restriction eveb after 19 months i can only eat a few bites if food and then i get very full... he says i am lucky to have that still after all these months.

Kerry

Does he have any ideas as to why you don't malabsorb so well?

No real idea as to why i don't like the norm.

My food just doesn't process like a typical DS'r, I can eat full fat full sugar and i don't get any loose stools, as a matter of fact i can probably count on one hand how many times i have had the "trots" .. mostly i am constipated and i believe that has been an issue for me from the get go, but my doctor disagrees, he said it has nothing to do with malaborbing ???

I'm a mystery lol

Kerry

Have you ever considered consulting with another surgeon?

Well that was an issue for me because i ate so little i was snacking all the time, It took two weeks but now i don't snack my body has adjusted and i just wait for my next meal, the first two weeks my stomach burned and i was soooooooooo hungry .. but now i just get a little reminder that i am hungry and its no big deal.

My lunch yesterday ran way too late i should of saved half the burger for dinner but i kept picking at it .. normally tho it takes me about an hour to eat a meal.
