Gastric bypass 15 years ago; got down to 155. Weight 3 or 4 years; went through menopause at age 49. Weight ballooned to 232. January started exercising 30 minutes daily; watching what I ate. Want To lose 33 lbs by August; steadily lost 1 lb/week. A couple of weeks ago I noticed I can’t finish meals and having hard time getting 1592 calories daily. Questions: 1) Why am I feeling full after eating a fraction of the food I used to eat? 2) Is it possible that my pouch is shrinking? 3) Should I supplement with protein shakes? 4) Should I not worry about the calories and just eat what I can?
