3 Year Surgiversary (March 22, 2010 to March 22, 2013)

Mar 22, 2013

Since October 2012, I now eat 1650-1800 calories a day to maintain my weight loss of 193 pounds at a weight of 138 pounds. My height is 5'4". I am now 58 years young. I was eating 2000-2500 calories a day from July 2011 to September 2012. I figure my malabsorption of calories began to come to an end in September 2012.

I no longer weigh myself on a regular basis. I rely on how my clothes fit (jeans) to determine where I am with my weight. I was weighing myself faithfully once a week since 3 months out from RNY surgery on March 22, 2010 until September 2012.

I am happy, content and at peace with my body. 

I do not participate in a formal exercise program due to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. I do move around a lot more and do a lot more walking.

I eat every 2-3 hours. I eat 3 main meals and 3-4 snacks daily that include protein.

I eat at least 100 grams of Protein a day. I eat dairy products that are no fat/low fat. I eat simple (dairy, fruit) and complex (beans, vegetables, whole grains) carbohydrates (I do not count daily grams). I also eat eggs. I am a Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian. 

I take all of my supplements and drink 64 ounces of liquids minimum.

I have never introduced a food into my mouth that I have not planned to eat. I always consider the protein and nutritional value of each morsel. 

I know this rigid, controlled way of life is not for everyone, but it works great for me!

I had my 3 year check up yesterday and my doctors office is still impressed with my success and my labs came back awesome!
