Pre-Op and Two Months Post-Op

Hello Nikkia' date='

First, you have lost 106 pounds wow - and your just over 1 year out. Congrats on making it this far! You do not want to fall back into old patterns or go backwards and start gaining.I have 4 basic rules! (1) My no no are sodas - diet or regular. I have not picked up a can since the day before my surgery. I pretty much only drink Water every day. (2) My must have is logging food. I am uncomfortable eating more than a cup of food for one meal and on average I eat about 1,000 calories a day. You can log it in online or on your phone - I prefer the free app my fitness pal. (3) Exercise. I don't mean run a marathon or become a gym bunny. This is a life style change. You have to find something to do for a min of 15 mins a day to start. You can walk in place, dance. Walk around your backyard. Hula hoop, wii, ANYTHING. This isn't about burning the calories, this is getting your body use to the new you and away from sedentary lifestyle. I have fibromyalgia, migraines and auto immune. Exercise is the hardest thing for me, but I know before the end of the day I will make my body move for at least 15 mins! Sometime I literally walk in place or do circles in my backyard. (4) No Trigger Foods - mine is bread. I don't eat it. I don't buy it. I eat open face sandwich, just the toppings on a pizza. I stay away from the thing that cause me to gained weight and something I can not resist!

Protein issue - I still have a hard time getting in my protein, but when I want to drop or break a stall I do about 70 grams a day. The thing that helped me was unjury unflavored protein - you can mix it with anything and it gives you an extra 20 grams. My other favorite is a cup of coffee at the end of the night - I use fit frappe by a company name train. They have all kinds of flavors - But with Protein!!

On a good day this is my schedule.

Protein bar - 21 grams / 1 gram sugar

Snack - yogurt 15 grams

lunch - tuna to go 15 grams

Snack - Eas protein shake + unjury unflavored protein 38 grams

dinner - (this changes daily)

Coffee - 10 to 20 grams

Boom!! That's almost 100 grams of protein, right around 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day!!

I had Chinese buffet for lunch. Thank goodness my pouch handled it just fine as I was super hungry! Hadnt ate in two days as everything I ate or drank came right back up due to a bad uti, even water...feeling alot better now...on the brightside I weighed in at 245.4 lbs this morning!!! 60 more lbs and I'll weigh what my drivers license has been saying since I was 16!!! Lol

Some days I still feel like I am that huge person I used to be (even though I've lost over 140 lbs). Putting these pics together really makes my eyes focus!

Wow!!! U don't look like the same person. Great job!!
