4 1/2 months out!!
I had my surgery on 12/19! I have lost almost 70 pounds. However I am starting to struggle with my eating. I was curious how many ounces I should be eating at this stage out? I am having about 5 ounces, including everything, a meal and am worried this is too much. For example, I am about to have two pouched eggs and a slice of oatmeal toast. is this too much? help please!! I am still 195 and have plenty too lose!!

Everyone is different. I am 2 years out and eat about 3/4 cup per meal. I have 4-5 meals per day and if/when I snack, it's protein foods, like edamame beans, soy protein cakes, etc. I still do not eat potatoes, rice, pasta, bread and if I need something like that, find substitutes. I substitute matchsticked zuccini for pasta; I buy Shirataki/tofu noodles. I make Mug of Muffins....... keep away from the crackers, bad white stuff *forever* or as long as you can; they will start you craving more of the bad white stuff!
