food intake

[emilye349]

On average how much can people eat in 1 meal? I'm noticing my portions increasing more than the small ramekin dish first advised. It's more a small bowl now.

So just wondering if I'm doing wrong? I am 10 months post op

I'm just over a year out and I feel I'm eating loads but when I think about it I'm eating enough for example
I small Greek yogurt with a piece of fruit
2x coffee milk no sugar
small flask of chicken and veg soup
sugar free squash small glass
a "muller size"pot of chicken curry and rice 1 spoon of tarka dhall
1/2 bag of plain chrisps
looks a fair amount but like I said its all small helpings and I stop when ive had enough

I can eat a whole bag of crisps! And I can ear a 6 oz steak and a couple of chips. I can eat a whole small cheese roll.

It's so worrying when you aren't sure

I've only lost 3 lbs in the last 2/3 months (a loss is a loss) although my shape has changed dramatically!! I also hurt my knee so haven't exercised so actually very pleased I haven't gained! (Yet!)

I have a stone to go till target but in all honesty if I don't get there, which i do want to, I wouldn't be too bothered as am at a good weight now and feel great about myself!

I'm 2 years out next month and I can pack away 2 chicken breasts at a time! Eek!
On the other hand though, a small bowl (baby's portion) of rice crispies for example fills me up to bursting point. As does drinking a cuppa tea!

My appetite and portion size is all over the place and I've only recently stopped losing and started gaining because of pregnancy. You should be able to eat a child's size portion in time. So long as what you're eating is what you've been recommended then all should be OK x

This was my dinner today home made spanish chicken with cous cous that was at 6.30pm and I've just eaten about 8 small grapes as a snack I'm 2 years out and still losing

Ah that's a bit bigger than mine! Thank you

I still use my kiddies bowls to keep an eye on the portion size that meal was in my minnie mouse bowl

It does to begin with and it's very painful however after time you'll be fine. I was able to pack away 2 blue steaks for a while. Man, they were well nice lol

Heya I had a bypass in Dec last year. I wasn't advised not to eat steak, and they are aware I have had steak.

I don't dump and seem to be able to eat anything within reason.
