RI hear Dr Giovanni did my surgery dec 30 2011 down 60lbs

I go out to eat on a once a week usually on Sat nite with my husband . And i make sure I chose steak and salad and veggie. Usually by the time I'm done eating the salad shortly after the food is coming right out I can't get even through half of my steak . So what I've done in the past is just get a side salad so i can get more of the steak and veggie in. But I always get the manager coming up to our table and asking if everything is alright I've noticed that since the surgery and I don't eat most of my plate and I just always get a togo box cut everything in half if not more.

When I was doing my pre-op diet, I wrote something down in my journal that I was keeping on my weight loss journey. It said, "NOTE TO SELF: If you get off track at some point after this surgery, remember how well the pre-op diet worked and DO IT!" The pre-op diet was not a lot of fun, but it did effectively clear my system of sugar and carbs. Once that happened it was much easier to stay on track with the plan. I think now that you are sleeved, it will not be nearly as hard as doing it pre-op but it will help you wash any carbs and sugar from your system that are causing you to crave more and go off track. Then commit yourself to eating good Protein, good carbs like veggies and stay away from the bad stuff. Track your eating in a food diary. It will keep you honest! Good luck!
