That's a great accomplishment so far.

May make a suggestion and that is stay away from brownies because doing that can really sabotage you quickly in the long run.

@Chelly brownies aren't something I eat daily. I've been eating low carb since I had surgery, and Fourth of July was the first day I left myself enjoy a treat. I have eaten any carbs (other than from veggies) since friday. Thanks for the concern tho.

This is a lifestyle change not a diet and brownies are apart of life. The key is to not go overboard but you work hard and should be able to treat yourself now and then. I'm 11 months post-op and in the past 11 months I've had cake, cookies, pizza.. I just count them in my daily calories. I also eat carbs with every meal. I just make sure my protein is my biggest portion followed by veggies and then carbs. I'm down 130 lbs so I must be doing something right
