Weigth gain??
I was asked today if I have gained weight. This person said my face
is not as loose like is has been in the past.
March 20th 2002 RNY Open At 447 pounds. Today 230 pounds. It’s been
hard the past 28 months. I’m not here to get into that.
I need to now if 5oz per meal is to much or not. I eat 3 to 4 times
per day. I;m not able to eat alot of foods. ( like I said many
problemss).
I would like to hear from everyone about this issue please.

Duke,
Perhaps your skin is beginning to tighten up or your muscles are toning so there
is less hanging skin. I have notice lately that although I am not losing much
the skin that was hanging over the top of my bra in the back is gone.
I am assuming from your name you are male??? You say you are eating 5 oz meals.
My question is 5 oz of what? Protein? I know men can eat more than women.
Here is a general idea of what I eat daily or at least try to eat.
Breakfast - 2 or 3 oz of - chicken breast, turkey burger, pork tenderloin
or 1 or 2 oz of ham and a fried egg (in a non-fat pan)
or two hard boiled eggs
or two eggs scrambled/two egg omelet with a slice of 2% cheese
melted on top
or a piece of toast with peanut butter or cheese melted on it.
I eat this maybe once a
week or less. I find my pouch handles bread better if
toasted.
Midmorning - a piece of fruit - apple, grapes, nectarine, plum, cantaloupe,
watermelon etc.
Lunch - 2 or 3 oz of - chicken breast, turkey burger, pork tenderloin on half a
lite whole wheat roll
toasted.
Midafternoon - a piece of fruit - Usually different than what I ate in the
morning.
Supper - again 3-4 oz of protein chicken breast, turkey burger, pork tenderloin,
fish( I do try not
eat the same thing every meal but sometimes I don’t have enough
stuff already cooked.
- 1/2 -3/4 cup veggie - Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans etc. I
will sometimes try to eat the
veggie first then wait a bit because it tends to fill be up. I just
know I need the fiber.
- once in a while I will eat some corn on the cob
- small salad with good lettuce and lite dressing ( I eat this about
20 minutes before my meal.
It is mostly water and chews down to almost nothing)
Evening snack - sugar free popsicles
- lite popcorn - I find the kettle corn will help deal with
the craving for sweet stuff.
The amount varies. Depends on my activity level for the day. I walk 5 days a
week, varying distances. Last Sat I did 6.5 miles this Sat I will be doing 7.
I’m training for a 15 mile walk on Oct 4. I also joined Curves recently. Some
days I am hungrier than others.
I had surgery on 8/15/02. I’m 52 years old and 5′ 5″ tall with large bones.
Beginning weight 254 / current weight 151 / goal weight 140 - 145. I currently
wear a size 8 in jeans or a men’s 30-31 waist.
Not sure if any of this helps but I hope so.
