I finished a 250 calorie Lean Cuisine....

 ...why does that freak me out?  I guess because I haven't really finished anything in over 2 months?

Lol, 1 of them last me 3 meals.

 I had one last week and threw away a third of it.  I think the moral of that story is no more Lean Cuisines for me.

The funny thing is I ate a whole Boca burger, lol. I guess it isnt as dense as the meat in the dinners.

No offense to anyone above me but replying to a "I can eat more than I thought" post with a post about how little you can eat...at least for me...ain't that helpful. I can't speak for the original poster.

I wasn't going to post but seeing those responses (again, nothing wrong with them it just tends to make you freak out even more) I feel compelled to say three things:

1. I can finish a six inch Subway sub. With the bread. And could since a year out. 99.9% of the time I choose NOT to. But I can.

2. In general I can eat a LOT more than most other post-ops.

3. But I try to make good choices. For me, that means eating a lot of things that have virtually no calories (so lots of veggies with my protein basically) and therefore am maintaining over 130 lbs. of weight loss at 5 years out.

Do with that information what you will. But don't freak out. Food doesn't really have the power to take you down. Your brain, however, does.

 Thanks a bunch! I actually searched Lean Cuisines up above and found some other older posts where people were freaking out about finishing a LC, and I saw a response you wrote to one of them too.  You make sense.  I think the problem was that it was a pasta-ish one (swedish meatballs) and the pasta went down too easy.  I need to stay away from pasta, apparently.  OK, lesson learned!  
Thank you for being the voice of reason!

Could you finish a 6 inch sub at 2 months out though Nik? The OP is only 2 mo out. I like the others can't imagine eating a full LC.  I think people just speak their surprise. I won't pile on but I've commented on others. As I struggle with 2-3 oz I think how in the world? and I'm 5 mo out.

Yeah but how do you think that makes people feel? And would you say that in person?

Again, not saying anyone was being rude. I get the reaction. I just know when I was early out and folks responded like that, even though I knew they meant well, it made me feel abnormal and ostracized. But then someone came along and said something profound to me. "Ok so you can eat a lot. Now what?" And that was helpful. Because this is about choices, not food. That poster helped me to see that my ammunition is my decision making skills. My pouch was clearly not working by itself!

Thankfully the original poster seems to have better self awareness than I had at that stage in the game. So in the end, revert to whatever mode of communication you deem appropriate. But I do stand by what I said. Those responses bug the crap out of me! But that's my dysnfunction, not yours. And I understand that.

Have a good night.

 It is scary to hear people go *gasp, you ate all that!*, but I can understand because that was my own reaction when I was done.  Now that it's been over an hour ago and I've had time to think about it, I realize that when I eat straight up protein, homemade, etc. I can eat like 4 ounces and that's it.  Which leads me back to the pasta-is-a-bad-idea thought, or fake-processed-crap-is-a-bad-idea thought.  Probably both!

See, self awareness! That level I did not have at your stage. I was a hot azz mess.
