Not quite edelu. I lost 51 lbs before surgery and the rest in the last 11 1/2 months. Not quite as impressive on paper, but very astounding to me

Wow! There are people all the time on the other surgery boards who say that with a sleeve you can't lose weight and that it doesn't work for people who have over a certain amount to lose. Well, you proved them wrong!! And it must feel sooo good! Congrats on all your hard work!!

When I started this journey, I decided that failure was not an option. So I tried to learn from those who went before me and just DO WHAT WORKS. I track my food religiously, keep active, and work with the tool. It feels awesome to be realizing the success for which I have planned. You hit the nail on the head.

Edelu,

I try to have a variety of food. Here are some guidelines that I follow and some foods I eat often.

In general, I try to keep calories from fat roughly equal or below my protein intake. On food labels, this means that fat is less than half of the protein grams. That's just a guideline but I'm looking for protein content for the calories. I try to keep my net carbs to around 30 a day. Total calories 700-900 a day. Protein greater than 70 grams.

For breakfast some things I have often include morning star farms veggie sausage, quest protein bars, egg cups (Hungry-girl.com has lots of them - basically microwaved egg beaters and laughing cow cheese + other high protein contents).

Lunch is focused on solid proteins. Baked chicken, fish, etc. Lots of leftovers. I sometimes have John Soules fajita strips from Sam's Club. They come in a bag, microwave quickly and you can add things like salsa, soy sauce, bbq sauce (no cal walton farms) and change their taste a lot.

Dinner is pretty much the source from which lunch was drawn, so same thing. When eating out, I have steak, fish, shrimp, scallops, or some other good dense protein.

Snacks are most often driven by how much additional protein I need. I may have a protein shake (rare) or a quest bar. Sometimes I have cheese crisps, PB2, or almonds.

I rarely stray too far from this plan. I ate a bit less in the early months than this - more like 500-600 calories - but I try to keep my foods solid most of the time. I find it more satisfying to chew than drink my calories. I try to have some veg and a bit of fruit from time to time but protein is king. I take my multivitamin, calcium supplement, b12, and folic acid every day.

That's it in a nutshell. Hope it helps.
