1 month Post op: losing fast

I had some requests for tips.. I am trying to think of what I have done differently.

 

For one- I don't drink any coffee or soda or any caffeine which increases appetite and dehydrates you. I quit cold turkey along with smoking cigarettes.

 

I eat anything I want. But, I usually just have protein or mostly protein because I crave it. I like canned tuna, beans, and chicken mostly.

 

I have a stupid protein shake every day because it is the only way I can take my pills. It usually has 30 grams.

 

I haven't really had more than 1000 calories a day, but I don't count bc thats why I have a band! I hear I should be having more.

 

I don't exercise at all (I can't until I heal from a pulled muscle)

 

I like herbal iced tea and crytal light to get all my water. I like sugar free popsicles when I want to eat but am not hungry.

 

I DO NOT drink for an hour after I eat. I watch the clock like a hawk for that hour to pass. I drink all the way up tp my very first bite.

 

A few days ago I decided to go off of Celexa, a major contributor to my weight problem. I will let you know if that makes a difference.
