Increasing the protein supplements (not protein from food) will reduce much of

your sugar cravings and enable you to feel more satisfied after eating. Also,

cut back on all the carbs. That means bread, potatoes, pasta. It all turns to

sugar and fat in your system.

For those of us really distal folks the animal protein is good but we just don't

absorb enough protein from it so we have to use the liquid predigested protein

supplements.I too can eat a lot and I graze - eating a lot of small meals during

the day. I eat a lot, but nowhere near what I used to eat. A normal snack for me

on the way home from work was 2-4 Quarter Pounders...with cheese of course and

fries - super sized of course! and then I'd have dinner at home. I havn't been

inside a Mcs in 19 months! After my surgery 3 Drive-Throughs closed up!

I'm not a nutritionist, but I think it's pretty well accepted that more but

smaller meals keep the metabolism " going. " Also, I find if I wait too long

to eat and get too hungry, I eat more than I wish I had. I'm two years out

and there is no comparison between what I eat now and what I ate then. I

easily and comfortably eat twice what I ate at two months post-op, but I am

maintaining my weight loss comfortably. I do exercise: twice a week with a

weight trainer, the rest of the days walking about 3 miles. It's freaky,

but just play it cool and don't overeat when you do eat. I sometimes wonder

how much of my weight loss and maintenance is *simply* because I chew food

to smithereens. It takes longer. As far as food goes, I use supplements on

the days I work out so I'm not trying to process food during the workout,

but my doctor recommends eating solid animal protein first since it is so

filling. He recommends against liquid proteins. A piece of fish or a

grilled chicken breast really " stuffs " me, even if I chew it completely.

know that doesn't sound like a lot but I just don't want it to continue.

And it sounds like that is more than a lot of people eat for the whole day.

You are heading for trouble if you do this -- if you only eat two meals a

day and are hungry more than that you will set yourself up for a diet/binge

cycle and put yourself back to doing what didn't work before surgery. Eat

when you are hungry until you are satisfied. Some days that may mean a whole

jr. burger -- I eat that at some sittings. But sometimes that may mean just

a few bites. Don't diet for crying out loud.

The other thing is eating two meals a day won't give you all the nutrition

you need. Especially if you are restricting yourself. You need to learn to

listen to your body -- eat what you want when you want it as long as you are

hungry. Eat until satisfied. You need to learn to do this. What you say you

want to do will screw you up. So don't.

Hey, you two, I'm still here watching, you know. I'll see YOU tomorrow,

Bob! I have half a mind to go fetch Amelia out of boarding and bring her for

some Catucation! Once we put her in there, she got a MEGA-attitude. Good

match.

Bring protein for yourself. She will consider YOU hers.

Thanks,

Oh Bob! Great advice. But GOd I love bread and potatoes and pasta, but they

make me so sick afterwards, even two years after my surgery.
