Hi HealthierMe193 I’ll be 3 years post surgery on the the 14th of this month and still maintain well. Things that have helped me: - Delay breakfast. Most days I don’t eat to 10 or 11am. I feel this shrinks my stomach and when it comes time to eat I can’t eat too much. - I go easy on the carbs. I still love my carbs but I try not to eat too much. I’ll have toast in the morning and then reduce carbs during the day. - I mostly snack on protein and a little fruit. - I watch those sliders! I’m still a sucker for chocolate and most days I’ll have a couple of pieces to control my cravings. But I’m careful not to eat too many calorie dense nibbles, things that don’t feel me up. - I’m careful not to graze too much Although I still have my bad days, and when I have them I accept it and I become very disciplined so I don’t completely full off the wagon. Also in regards to determination, my surgery gave me amazing results, I’m so terrified to go back to my old body. I buy nice clothes and to be honest I’m really happy with my reflection and I feel healthy. Even 3 years later I still enjoy the simple act of putting on jeans and a t-shirt rather then a hole heap of layers. The thought of going back to my old me keeps me motivated. Good luck on your journey, I hope you get back on track soon.

I worked it out ?
