Thanks > for all your input! I'm a post-op, but I can give you a couple of average days for me. Yes, I indulge in formerly " bad " foods. Please don't hate me because I enjoy a Hostess Ho Ho from time to time. LOL. I don't know how many calories it is, but it feels to me like I'm eating a lot and definitely not " diet " foods. When I look at the quantities, though, it's not so horrid. At any rate, I'm doing OK -- at 22+ months post-op, I'm down from 299 to 156ish (give or take a few pounds depending on time of month) and staying amazingly stable.
