Question:
Almost six and a half months post-op - Am I doing well?

I am almost six and a half months post-op and have lost 107 pounds. I was eating my lunch today and wondering if what I was eating was appropriate in terms of amount. What do you guys think? I buy the hormel chili microwave bowls (with beans). I pick out all of the meat and eat the rest with a small handful of oyster crackers. Am I doing well?

Kristy, with 107 pounds gone in 6 months your certainly doing something right. I see no problems with your chili and crackers. Chili is great protein and always has been one of my fav meals. I make up a big batch of chili, freeze most of it and eat it 3 or 4 nights in a row for dinner. With cheese on top, over a small baked potato, over a piece of grilled chicken, over a salad, with a bit of rice, in a tortilla with cheese, just tons of ways to eat chili. Congrats on the weight loss!
