aharris75 11 Posted March 19, 2013 I'm new here, almost 3 years out with my VSG. Did great, then got on Cymbalta for anxiety and boy did it mess my eating up!! Anyway I'm back on the wagon and figured I need some My Fitness Pal friends to help keep me accountable! My ID is astephens1221 Thanks and hope to befriend you soon!! ~Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted March 19, 2013 Wow, 3 years out. Would love to hear your struggles and inspiration. There is a thread HERE which has a TON of MFP users. Welcome to VST! BTW, I'm Pdxman there, too, but I have to admit I don't track that much since I got to goal ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aharris75 11 Posted March 19, 2013 Nice to meet you! I have to say its certainly been an adventure! It's absolutely without a doubt the best thing I ever did for myself! The past year I have found myself at times reverting back to bad habits, but over all it's still a day by day conscious effort I still have to make. My next goal is to start exercising again now that it's warm outside (finally!) How about you? How far out are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted March 19, 2013 I will be 2 years on July 8th. It has been an incredible journey, for sure. I have to say I don't worry too much about what I eat after I have my base, balanced nutritional needs met. I'll have a yogurt and banana for Breakfast. About 8 oz of one of a great varieties of Soups I make: turkey chili, veggie chicken, smoked ham and bean ... many others. For dinner I'll have a salad with tuna or chicken. I will snack on some CheeseIts occassionally and have a bowl of ice cream a couple times a week. I have been able to maintain for one year now with this routine. I have found what works for me. I think that is the most important thing. Find a routine that is doable for you which doesn't feel like a diet. That is not why I got sleeved ... to be on a diet the rest of my life. I love my sleeved life and everything it has helped me achieve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
