Re: Does this way of eating last?

[Guest guest]

Hi Chris:

I am going to be 3 years post-op this Jan. I eat a lot of food and I mean a

lot. What we absorb doesn't change, the stomach becomes larger and pretty

much back to a normal size stomach but we don't absorb food from our stomach

just in our intestines and that bypassed part doesn't change.

I still eat every 3-4 hours as my body seems to be happier that way and Dr.

A has told me that smaller meals more often is better for you anyway.

I can now eat 2 whole burritos, (roasted pork with nothing else in them),

small steal with baked potato and 3/4 cup of veggies and on and on. There are

days that my tummy isn't happy with anything and I eat lightly on those days

and I do fine.

I am a grazer, I eat all the time and still haven't put on an ounce, I do

eat sugar everyday but it is like a couple of cookies, some candy, a slice of

pie but I still crave protein over anything and I have to remember to eat

carbs and veggies which I do like.

So you won't spend your life eating a couple of McNuggets but honest to

goodness real meals, I also like salads a lot, especially with avocados in

them, I no longer eat chicken my body doesn't like chicken so I just leave it

alone but I put shrimp in my salads if I want to make a full meal out of it.

I also eat a whole lot of fats always have and I like the taste of food

with butter, fat on my steaks and chops and roasts, well buttered toast and

butter on about everything I eat. Well, actually it is oleo, I like Golden

Soft.

If I can answer anything else let me know as you can see by my stats I

don't have any problems with my weight anylonger other than I would like to

be about 10 pounds heavier with muscle. Everything else stays about the same

I stay at 163-168.

Wow, congrats to you on your success! I was

wondering, though, what are your BMs like now? Do

they still smell?

Thanks,
