what are you guyss eating ? any cheat days ?

I pretty much eat what I want. I can't say I 'cheat' per se, but I have the occasional Cheeto, a fun size candy bar or an Oreo, if my carbs allow me. I eat a lot of meat and cheese and still have my protein shakes. I have given up bread and rice and eat very little pasta (whole grain only). I had a 1/4 cup of Fruity Pebbles the other day and that was enough to fill me up I don't feel like I'm restricted from the type of food, just the amount I eat. I was sleeved on 05/06/13 and I'm 52 lbs down!

You look so pretty! Amazing

Jessica what are you keeping your carbs under? I haven't eaten any of those kinds of things and I'm not losing as well as you. I finally had a piece of whole grain toast this week but no "bad" carbs. I think I need to eat more and start eating some green vegetables.

Vegasneon, I'm losing about the same rate as you. I don't eat bread, pasta or rice, no sugar but then again I've always lost weight slowly. I'm happy with 40 lbs gone, it can come off slowly as long as it comes off. I eat protein and veggies for lunch and dinner, and mostly eggbeater with veggies and a little cheese for breakfast. Once a week I allow myself 2 cups of popcorn, that's my treat. Doc says I'm doing well so I'm not worried. And I was sleeved on 5/14/13. Tonight I had 1/2 cup of sugar free vanilla ice cream and it was wonderful. however it will only be an occasional treat out were it's portion controlled.

My surgery was 5/17. I lost 45 lbs prior to surgery, and 30 since, but the last 30 have been much more noticeable (I'm wearing size 8 jeans today!).

I try to stick to the plan. Lean meats, eggs, cheese, fruits and veggies. I have tried rice, bread, etc. occasionally and nothing seems to bother me. So much so that I ate an entire mini Cinnabon without any problem. But I was on vacation and I won't be doing that again anytime soon.

I gave up shakes almost immediately and glad for it. I don't eat or drink particularly slow, just not together. No issues with Vitamins, grown to look forward to my "candy" chewable Calcium.

My lab work numbers were all spot on and my Iron was so good I donated blood last week.

No regrets here!

Same here I am able to eat anything just not much. I'm down 73 lbs and I was sleeved on may 28th.

I keep them at 40 or less, per my surgeon. It's very hard. Today I'm over by 3, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I had a bad week at work and even worse day today, so it's stressing me out. I rode 9.5 miles on the bike in 30 mins today to work out some aggression and burned off everything I ate!

You look so pretty! Amazing

Thank you very much!
