I love my sleeve!

I had a couple of tough weeks.  I went to Vegas and then Sweden and fell hard back into sugar -- and I mean hard!  I was out of control and very concerned.  I gained ~4 lbs. 

I was determined to get back on track.  I gotta say it is SO MUCH EASIER to get back on track with my sleeve.  I went back to basics and am comfortably eating ~800 calories per day and 110+ g  protein per day.  My protein doesn't need to be so high, but I'm staying away from the carbs for a bit (aside from sweet potatoes & 1 serving of berries per day). 

I know before I would fall off track and getting back on was so hard.  I would really need to starve a bit to shrink my belly back down.  I know I didn't stretch it out or anything, I just over indulged with sugar.  But man -- this is a just a rambling post.  Oh and the 4 lbs are gone as well as one of their friends :)

The sleeve doesn't make it easy, but it does make it POSSIBLE!

I love it!

end ramble :)

You've got it- not easy but possible.  Good for you.

Super fantastic!

That is great that you were able to get back on track!

GREAT job!

That is awesome. I never thought about trying to get in more than 70grams of protein. Might need to give that a shot. What are your staple proteins at this point in the journey?

• Chike protein coffee :)
• Greek yogurt -- lately I have been mixing it with chocolate protein powder and freezing it
• crustless quiches (egg beaters & ham -- lots of protein)
• chicken, turkey, swiss cheese (I have been making lots of meals out of this combo)
• cottage cheese

Oh cool!!! Frozen yogurt...

Okay I am going to order some Chike. Can you have it warm or does it HAVE to be ICED coffee?

I'm not sure.  I love it iced, so that is all I have done.
