You look so great!! I saw you were burning 1500 a day on workouts.. what are you doing? I am bored from the treadmill,and I think its not doing as much good as it was a while ago.. thanks!!

I always wait at least 30 min after I am done eating before I drink Water .. I cant before then, too full. I do sometimes only wait 20-ish minutes after I drink before I eat.. but only occasionally. Protein is usually .. breakfast: 2 eggs boiled - 1 without the yolk, 1 with .. sometimes i dont finish lunch: baked chicken nuggets - usually 4 or 5, or small piece of tilapia, or about 1/4 cup of chicken breast ( i cant get any more of chicken breast than that at any one time), or half a sandwich - as in 1 slice of toasted whole wheat bread, with turkey or some other kind of lunch meat and a slice of cheese .. sometimes i will have a few bites of green Beans with the protein choice.. sometimes not Dinner: same choices as lunch usually .. minus the sandwhich. I dont do carbs at dinner most days. I think my issue is snacking in between - plus i work from home and I think I may be either having just head/bored hunger, or lacking water .. and confusing that with hunger maybe? Snacking is usually 4-5 ritz crackers with Peanut Butter, maybe a sweet instead (hence my problem is probably snacking and sweets) What do you think?? Thank you!!

Thanks for your feedback .. I still have A LOT to lose .. which is another reason why I am wondering why my dr didnt suggest the bypass instead of sleeve. Seems that heavier people are more prone to going with the bypass. I have about another 80 lbs to lose

Hello everyone, I have been lurking around for a bit and finally decided to dive in.. thank you in advance for the feedback I am hoping to receive. I had my surgery in June 2011, lost about 50lbs between then and early October.. since then I have just been up and down and I am getting really discouraged. Part of it I know is because I am getting off track, part of it I am not sure why/what is going on.. 1. I get full quickly,after small meals, but even after my Protein.. I am hungry again maybe a 2 hrs later.. why? 2. Sweets have always been my demise .. and I have realized that they go down VERY easily with the sleeve, I just cant have nearly as much as I used to. I feel like I should have gotten the Bypass rather than the sleeve, as I have heard you cannot do much sweets/sugar at all with that one. Is this true? The fact that I can eat sweets is becoming a disaster.. granted, I cannot eat like I used to (got carried away once with chicken and was miserable for a good 30 min after until it went down) .. but I had NO IDEA that they would be so easy to eat. 3. Water - I am never thirsty as I was prior to surgery.. and its hard to drink more than 30 oz of water a day Does anyone have any suggestions, help they can provide. Please address all 3 of my points if possible.. thanks so much
