I eat lots of cheese, cold cuts, etc. Lots of high protein foods that don't require cooking. Mexican food is great without rice, chips, and tortillas. Think fajitas or something like that. I order burgers without buns, with slaw for a side. Walmart rotisserie chickens are great. Any take out minus the carbs will work. Keep whatever fresh vegetables you like in the refrigerator also. I eat cucumbers for a snack quite often. If you like sardines, they are great protein. Tuna as well. Keep up the good work!

Sucks. Keep walking. I did laps around the island in my kitchen. Lol. Thousands of them. Hang in there. The worst is almost behind you!

I tore some flesh deep overdoing it after my surgery. It was around three weeks out. I thought I was good to go. Wrong! It was brutal. I can remember the instant relief when it finally dissolved.

Today is a year since my sleeve surgery. I started at 294 lbs and this morning I am 175. I bounce around the low 170s. I feel good and would do it again in a heart beat. My aches and pains are mostly gone and so is my severe sleep apnea. At 53, I weigh less than I did in high school. Lol

Eating slowly was the hardest part fo me. Still is.

Hope you enjoyed it!!!

Yep. Lol. I'm ready for Thursday!

I had surgery last November. Thanksgiving consisted of a pumpkin spice shake. Lol

One year out and still a constant party in my guts.

I do. I struggle with evening grazing. I'm very careful to graze on protein and vegetables though. Maintenance is a challenge. Best advice that I could offer is to follow your plan and do what your team tells you to do for the first year at least. My eating habits have completely changed as a result of follow my plan. I hope a can continue to keep it off.

Tuesday will be a year for me. 122 down and finding success with maintenance, for around 4 or 5 months now.

The day before I started my pre op diet. My highest weight ever.

1/3 cup cottage cheese with a tablespoon of oikos insteadof fruit. That's what I do.

Tough it out. In time you'll eat pasta again. Stay the course. Good luck.

Nice work!

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Right on time. Do a search for 3 week stall

Hello all. So I've gained a 6 lbs back. I'm not really doing anything different. No bad carbs, and at around 1500 calories a day 10 months out, after losing 120 lbs in 7 months. I feel like I've leveled out, but am worried about this sudden gain. Is this normal? Thanks, Joe

I think I was twice a day for 14.

Sounds like you're doing great. Keep it up. Get your water and protein the best you can.

Out of curiosity, how did you come up with the muscle loss figure?

That smile says it all. Great work!!!

Good work

Lol. Awesome!

Good luck to you all.
