I hit 195 this morning from a starting weight of 308, I'm so thrilled that this is working as well as it is. I have always worked my tool MY own way.
I'll tell y'all and I will not make everybody happy but here it is:
-I don't track any food! I did in the beginning until I just eye balled my stuff.
-I don't weigh any of my food, I do measure sometimes.
-I eat protein first and veggies last
-I have not started to exercise yet, but as of 6 month out I will start and go HARD!
-I do walk about 30 min a day...
-I eat dark chocolate almost everyday (just a square or two, comes out to 3 gr. of carbs)
-I have a cheat day once a week, really I don't go over board not that I could. But I'll have an extra ice coffee or a couple bites of fried chicken (my fave), a bite of a cupcake....I don't know but I allow myself one meal a week with no restrictions.
-I don't drink enough water but everyday I do try to change that.
-I have started to drink alcohol, not often but socially.
-I am a baker by trade and have to taste the food prior to selling/catering and let me tell y'all I know I have that "dumping" thing that RNY's have....man If I eat anything to sweet (ice cream, frosting) I will be in the bathroom all next morning.....I'm really glad about this to be honest because prior to surgery I was a HUGE sweet eater, now its really in check aside from the dark choc, I don't eat sweets.....
I love my sleeve, it was the best money I have ever spent! I did not think I would lose this much in this short of a time frame, I had given myself a year. I would do it all over again, in a heartbeat! I look at obese people now and wish I could tell them there are other options out there that really work (I wont don't worry....LOL). I went to Mexico and I am so glad that I ran into Wasabigbutt"s profile because before I knew about VSG I was planning on getting the Lap Band....so glad I didn't do that!!
Thank you to you all, I am on here everyday and look forward to reading your stories. I will keep you guys updated on my progress put I can tell you I think I'm going to lower my goal weight to 160....we shall see.
Congratulations!! What a fantastic achievement! Good for you!
