Hi all,
It feels like forever since I had my sleeve surgery in Tijuana! It's actually three years ago on July 2. And now I'm really struggling.
My starting weight was 237 pounds and my ultimate goal was 125--except I wasn't ultimately successful. My lowest weight was 162 pounds about a year ago, and since then I have started gaining again. Today I am 184.
So, after making and breaking many, many secret promises to myself, I have come here for accountability and support. I am pledging to go right back to the beginning: I'm going to do the same pre-surgery diet that I was doing three years ago today. That means a Protein shake for Breakfast, another for lunch, and lean protein, salad and 2 T of salad dressing in the evening. If I am unbearably hungry after dinner, I can have a third Protein Shake.

I would like to follow this plan all the way to goal...Do you think it can be done? Right now, it feels impossible. But if I could just stick to the plan for one day, I think I would really be on my way!
Anyone else struggling to make it to goal, willing to go back to the beginning with me? I would be so glad for you comments and support! And I would love to cheer you on, too.
I am ready to roll for tomorrow morning. Pantry is stocked with shakes; lean beef patties and salad greens in the fridge. I honestly can't remember if I was allowed to have coffee on my pre-op diet, but I will look into it tonight and go from there. I think green tea would be a good sub either way.
So here I go...please wish me luck! Or even better, come with me!

I do wish you luck! Going back to basics will be a good start, and you are right, one successful day leads to another successful day.
