What is the hardest part for you?

Every thing about eating

Have you just started? Or have you been sleeved?

I know for my program and each doctor is different I just tracked everything I put in my mouth. I didn't worry about calories or carbs or anything like that. All I worried about was writing it down. Once I was doing that every day for a month I switched to seeing the average number of calories per day and lowered them by 20% so if it was 3500 calories a day I aimed for 2800. I did that for another month and then lowered to 2300 a day for another month. Then I lowered it again to 1800 calories. That gives you 4 months of the 6 months minimum they require to work on getting calories done.

This isn't going to be solves in one day

Once I got done to 1800 a day I started dividing them up to higher Protein and lower carbs. 1 g of protein or carb equals 4 calories 1 g fat equals 9 calories

I try to get into at least 150 g (600 calories) of Protein a day no more than 75 g (300 calories) and that leaves me with 100 g of fat (900 calories)

Are you tracking everything you eat? Measure everything. Write it down. Measure your food when you serve and then stop half way and wait 5 minutes to see if your full

Also exercise. 3x a week is very important. That's where I struggled. I finally had to make it a priority
