Congratulations!  Good luck with the tt, I can honestly saying having a flat stomach is the best thing I ever did for myself.  WLS saved my life, the tt made it nice.

 Hi Ann:

In the beginning, I cut my calories to 800 a day.  No drinking 30 minutes before or after my meals.  I upped my protein to 80-90 grams a day and kept my carbs around 50-60 net.  I get up at 5:00 AM to walk each morning, and have to be at work at 7:30 AM.  I start each morning at 6:00 AM with a cup of coffee w/miralax to get things working and then I will have a protein shake at 7:00 AM.  I have a protein bar for snack at 10:00 AM and another one at 12:00 PM as I do not take lunch and this is convenient for me.  At 3:30 PM I have a snack of cheese, low carb crackers and grapes and for dinner I have a meat and green vegetables such as:  Roast, Chicken, Tuna, etc and green beans, salad, butter beans, etc. Sometimes I would have refried beans and cheese as a substitute for meat.  I always have a snack in the evening of NSA Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich or protein vanilla pudding or Hi Lo Maple Protein Cereal with 1/2 cup milk.  I did this for about the first 3 months and lost a total of 31 pounds.  I increase my calories to 1000 and lost the rest of my weight over a 5 month period of 38 pounds.  I have been maintaining now with my calories at about 1200 per day and I am walking about 5 days a week.  I hope this helps you get back on track.  I also started coming to the Back on Track Group and journaling everything that goes in my mouth to keep me honest and it really does help.  Get all your fluids in (at least 64 ounces) and don't forget to take your vitamins, they really are very important to our good health!
