I am over nine years post op and have lost over 150 lbs and kept them off, I weigh 130lbs at 5'5 and 49 years old.  I am not an exerciser but I don't like to sit around so I am typically on the go.  I eat 1000 calories 5 days a week and more on weekends.  I eat approx. 45-50 grams of protein per day and drink tons of water infused with fresh lemon.  I start each day with two twenty ounce cups of homemade iced tea with lemon and then continue filling the cups with water from the filtered water cooler at work.  I start eating during the week with dinner, I have RH and I don't like my blood sugar going up and down if I eat during the day so I don't.  I am a systems analyst so not a physical job and I need to be mentally sharp, not foggy like I would get if I ate during the day.  My blood sugar is typically 80 when I wake up and stays there all day, no change unless I actually eat.  This whole load of crap about having to eat every couple of hours only applies once you eat, if you don't eat at all there is no call for insulin and no need to eat again.  As I said with a physical job things would be different but for me this works very well.  Plus I get to work 1 less hour then everyone else everyday because I do not take lunch, the law states if you are the only one who does your job you do not have to take lunch, I use this little loophole to avoid having the work the extra hour everyone else has too.  It does pay to have a very specialized skill set and many deadlines to meet daily.

I eat two meals on the weekends and have some treats thrown in.  Monday is always back to business as far as eating is concerned.  I try to eat clean, lean and organic.  I am very anti GMO's, I avoid red meat and pretty much everything that I cannot identify where it came from.  What keeps me successful is I refuse to fail myself.

Just curious with that kind of plan what are you eating for your one meal a day that has 45-50grams of protien andbis 1000 calories. I could not imaging eating that in one sitting

Just want to let folks know that low blood sugar is nothing to mess with.  I am hypoglycemic- if I don't eat, I go low. Period. I have to eat every couple hours to keep things stable.  I have no trouble maintaining and made it to goal without issue as well.  Figure out what your needs are-
