My350z06, Wow! What an accomplishment! You really do look wonderful. If you don't mind sharing, what were some of your victories and challenges over the last year?

I treated my sleeve as a "tool". The first six months was pretty much a trial and error situation. I stuck to the rules given to me by my Dr and then slowly started experimenting new foods. Protein PROTEIN PROTEIN. I know it sucks but it was a staple in my diet for the first eight months. As I was able to eat more food I stuck to straight solid protein and cut back on the shakes. Don't waste your time on carbs or bread because there is no value in it and it just fills you up. Portion size is key. My body told me what my limit was and when I felt that I stopped eating. I am not proud of this but I haven't stepped on foot in a gym. My career keeps me active which helped out. I am a strong believer that you want to have a better life and be healthier in order for this to work.
