 Today I reached my goal weight of 140, and according to some charts, I'm no longer overweight!

My doctor is ok with me continuing to lose, and Since I'm short with a small frame, I'm going to try to get down to my dream weight (130) or lower.

I eat approx 1000-1200 calories a day, and try to keep my protein around 100.  I have been trying to get at least 10 glasses of water a day.  I eat every 3-4 hours.  I work out 1-2 hours a day, 6 days a week.  I take yoga, spinnining, cardio weightlifting (Bodypump).  I try to do free weights once a week, I run at least once a week, and do the various cardio machines, like the elliptical and stairclimber...

I eat protein first at every meal.  I eat 2-3 ounces of protein followed by up to .25 cup fruits/veggies.  I track everything that I eat.  I have no "off limits" food.

I have had my hunger since approx day 3 post op, but I still love my sleeve :)

Here is what a Monday-Friday menu looks like for me.  The weekend is different, because I work out in the morning on weekends.  Note, I do not eat at any other time of the day... just at meal and snack time. 

Breakfast, 5/5:30am: 2 slices bacon, one vegetarian sausage patty OR 2 slices bacon, 3 ounces greek yogurt, .25 cup grapes OR 1 piece of whole grain 45 calorie bread, one tablespoon peanut butter and sausage patty or yogurt/grapes

Morning snack: Large nonfat latte

Lunch: 2-3 ounces protein (chicken breast, steak bites, pepperoni, cheese, turkey meatballs, turkey, tuna fish, etc) and up to .25 cup fruits or veggies (often grapes or baby carrots)

Afternoon snack: Quest protein bar

Workout

Dinner (immediately following workout): 2-3 ounces protein (chicken breast, steak bites, pepperoni, cheese, turkey meatballs, turkey, tuna fish, etc) and up to .25 cup fruits or veggies (often grapes or baby carrots)
