Since I'm tryng to learn to eat to live rather than live to eat (which was an issue with me) I've just eaten the same thing a several days in a row to use the leftovers.

You're right on track. I'm up to 2 oz of lean meat some days (I have big tummy days and tiny tummy days, big tummy days 2 oz, small ones 1.5 oz) at 13 months.

Highest weight: 335 lbs, BMI 50.9
Pre-op weight: 319 lbs, BMI 48.5
Current range: 140-144, BMI 21.3 - 22

175+ lbs lost, maintaining since February 2012

I'm 2 1/2 weeks after and can eat 4 ozs. of fish or tuna with black beans.  For yogurt I can eat the 5 oz. container.

Can I ask what may be a silly question?  Sorry to take you off topic - what is a bougie?

Bougie is the object they use to make the sleeve size in the operating room. There are different sizes

I'm a 36 "bougie" and four months out.  I am currently on vacation and we went out to eat last night....

I had 3 medium shrimp (about 2 oz), 1 stalk of asparagus cut up, 1 spoonful of crab soup, and 1 very small bite of baked sweet potato (shared with my wife).

It was all very good and that amount of food was very filling to me and seems normal. 

It's hard to learn to cook that amt....but its doable and you get used to it.  I have a table top grill that I use to quickly sear proteins and they are done in about the same amt of time it would take to microwave it.
