Doesn't sound like too much to me. How is the weight loss coming? Are you still losing? You have to look at the big picture and just make sure it fits into your meal plan goals. One small apple with a dip sounds normal to me.

I eat an entire thing of yogart at a time! 6ozs. And something else like oatmeal or a banana. Don't sound like to much to me.
Is this a meal or a snack?
If a snack, just don't do it everyday!
Your doing fine!

Over-eating, probably not...however you may be eating more carbs than you need for optimal weight loss...Are you still getting 70 grams of protein in? It is much harder to over-eat when you stick to dense protein. For a lot of people, carbs go down easier. However, carbs slow fat loss because a body will burn the carbs just eaten before it burns stored energy (excess fat). We have keep our protein high under the same principle...my body will use the protein I eat, but if it doesn't get enough, it will burn my muscles instead (not something I want to happen!! Even though fruits are "healthy," I've seen a lot of people's weight loss stalled out from eating too much fruit.


Personally, I can't eat yogurt or that much of an apple (or any fruit) without dumping and, at 4 years out, I don't have much room in my pouch for anything other than protein if I want to get my 70+ grams a day in.

Thanks all. I do get in my recommended 60g of protein daily. Last night's snack was a combination of A) me wanting something crunchy, B) me wanting something a little sweet, C) needing to finish vanilla yogurt before it went bad, and D) needing just a few more grams of protein to meet my daily goal.

I think I was just having a "head games" day. After eating that, I had the "I'm such a fatty" moment, followed by "OMG, I'm probably stretching out my pouch". I know it wasn't a horrible choice for an evening snack/late meal...but my head kept scolding myself.

Hi Erika, I'm also about 9 mo. out from RNY. I seem to be having the same feelings/problem you describe. I also can empathize with your reply and thinking you're just a fatty. I too fight the head games, ALOT! I've been stalled for quite sometime where I'm just staying the same give or take a couple of pounds. I'm not sure if its because I'm now unemployed (since Jan) and looking for a new job really sucks in a small community, or the stress of knowing my insurance ends this month, or just because I'm at home most of the day with my lovely, new kitchen and food. I have to say, if I don't stay busy with something, all I think about is the clock and when it's time to eat again. Then I go through all the possibilities of what to eat....this circle goes on every day now. When I was working, I had no time to think about food, let alone eat only at lunch time. I really miss the structure. Hopefully a job will be mine real soon, I have a couple of really good possibilities. Good Luck, and stay with the program. That's what I keep telling myself too ;-)

Hello! I am 8 months out as of yesterday... I eat a small apple dipped in yogurt a time or two a week. I am still losing. Works for me. We are all different. If you are getting the results you want, then its fine. If not, make adjustments :)
