I am a little more than three months out from surgery and 70lbs down. My surgical team asked me what I am doing to be so "successful" and I thought about it and I decide to post those things here. Let me say this, I know I am new to the game. This post is just to share what I am doing. I am no expect and I am sure there are things I can do better. If you are interested read on.

1. I meal plan. Usually on Sunday I cook for the week. I make my Breakfast dish, lunch, and dinner for the week. I also make Protein Peanut Butter balls on this day as well. It helps me save money and have a better idea of what I am eating.

2. I use children's serveware. This helps me to control my portions and using children's silverware helps me to eat slower and take smaller bites

3. I take my Vitamins daily.

5. When I can I measure my food

6. I try to high protein content foods

7. If I snack I eat a high protein food

8. I add Protein powder when I cook whenever I can

9. I only drink Water

10. When I find a trigger food I leave that bad boy alone!

11. Leading up to surgery I read books and articles about VSG

12. I have a weight loss journal that I write in almost everyday

13. I try to regroup quickly. If I do not well one day I make adjustments to eat better the next day

14. I watch videos and read things on BP that have been helpful

15. When I do not meet a goal I make a new goal

16. I remember when that God has given me a gift and I do not want to waste the gift

17. I take water with me whatever I go

18. I use a high protein cookbook

19. I realize that I have not made it across the finish line and I have to keep going

20. I realize that every month my period vexes my weight loss agenda and then it goes away and I prevail!

21. My prayer partner and I talk about my progress every week and she prays for me

22. I have a surgery buddy

I am sure there is more than I could be doing. My goal is to be 100lbs in three months time. If I am not there you know I am going be smaller than I am now.

Congratulations! It sounds like you are doing great.

Thanks for sharing the great information!

Wow amazing
