If you eat fish it is really easy to keep you calories low. 3 ounces of cod is 15 grams of protein and 70 calories. You could eat 6 ounces 4 times a day and that is only 560 calories. 100 grams of chicken breast is 165 calories and 31 rams of protein. A whole bag of baby spinach is like 40 calories. If you eat protein and veggies and nothing processed is almost impossible to even hit 1000 calories a day. I ate every 2 hours 4 to 5 times a day to get my protein in and was able to keep my calories low by just eating protein, and veggies.

its now been 4.5 years since I was sleeved. my high weight was 323 lbs. my goal weight was low 180's. I did reach goal weight but over the years I realized that my desired goal weight was too low for me. now for the last 2 years ive steadily maintained a weight in the mid 190's and that appears to be where im supposed to be and im happy with that weight. today 10/1/17 I weight 195 lbs. I exercise 3-4 times a week and my choice of exercise is running. I will also be running the 2018 boston marathon and im so excited about being able to run this historic race! im running it for the jimmy v foundation for cancer research and ive committed to raising $6000 which is no easy task. if any of you have ever been affected by this terrible illness feel free to click the link after this post and make a 100% tax deductible donation to the jimmy v foundation for cancer research. every dollar donated goes to research. you will be supporting my run and a cause that affects everyone as everyone knows someone that has been affected by cancer. as far as my eating, I still have to be very mindful of what I put in my mouth. I can eat much more today than I could 2 years ago but still no where near what I could eat before having the surgery. hope everyone on their journey is doing well and feel free to ask any questions. im also attaching my before pic and a few current pics taken last week. have a great day! heres my donation link for anyone willing to support this wonderful cause: http://jimmyv.convio.net/site/TR/Endurance/General?px=1409952&pg=personal&fr_id=1370

Since my weight has come down I'm waking up early morning with massive amounts of energy it's like nothing I've ever experienced before, I'm walk-run-sprinting for 10 kilometres and returning home and lifting weights for 30 mins and still cannot sit or relax due to the amount of energy running through me, normally this has been happening between 8am -9.30am then goes away, anyone else experienced this?

Thank you... good luck to u too Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yay Paula!! Not much longer now

You look good. So much fun slipping into a smaller garment!

I can't wait to have this amount of energy!!!!!

My husband has kept 100lbs and kept it off 4 years. He sipped low salt broth a lot between meals. You need to focus on a hobby and believe me there will come a time when you won’t have restriction. Make this time count now.

I’m six weeks out and chop up pickles to put on my chicken salad.
