Tell us a little more

Do you track? I highly recommend myfitnesspal. My ID ther is kenmj11 if you want to add me.

Your sleeve will work. Just go back to the basic rules. Protein first. Avoid sugar like its poison. It makes you crave more. Every morning I have to Choose not to eat sugar and empty carbs. If I start the day with sugar or carbs it's bound to be a very bad day of cravings.

i try and keep track i just added you.. I learned the hard way about the sugar it does make me really hungry if I do eat anything with sugar.. then when you say about the bases are you saying.. just to eat Protein and that's it.. cuz I think when I started my surgery I did nothing but protein.. and I might did vegetables here in there now I do like to eat fruit... its hard cause now I'm really trying to remember everything I did to get the weight off when I first started.. and what do you mean by empty carbs.. I did ok today I just ate three meals and no Snacks

For every meal and snack I think about its Protein content first. If it does not have protein then I don't choose it.

Empty carbs are Pasta, bread, white flour things. Empty carbs have no or very little protein. I am not carb free but I think twice before having carbs. See my food chart yesterday. I went over calories and did have pizza. But also a lot of protein. On Fridays I have a slice of pizza!

Typical meals for me are Greek yogurt ( Dannon light has less sugar), chili, some turkey or cheese for a snack, dinner is whatever we make but I don't eat many of the carbs and eat the protein first (turkey dinner I eat the turkey and only spoonful of potatoes; Pasta dinner I eat the meat sauce and only spoonful of pasta, etc)

Get 65g protein a day minimum

Don't drink and eat at same time

Don't drink your calories (unless Protein shake meal replacement)

Keep sugar grams low (< 25-30g)

Those are the rules I follow.

Note I don't have rule for total carbs

I also have a 1300 target calories. Yours may be different. I am 5-10 so can get away with more.

Up till now my exercise consisted of walking 2-3 days a week. Now I started now to the gym. But for health not for weight loss.

I am on a zone line diet. About 40% carbs, 30% protein and fat each. Sometimes one is more than the other. Keep your sugar grams under 25g a day and you can't help but lose weight. I do not do that all the time and then I pay for it. But it's my goal.

But that is what I do. I am not perfect but I track the good and bad choices. Every bite. So I am accountable. If I can do it so can you!

You have it in you to be successful and the sleeve is your friend in accomplishing it!
