A Little More Control

[Dobiegh 15]

So I had my gastric sleeve surgery Feb 2013. I was 300 pounds and got down to 180 pounds. Then I got pregnant December 2014. And I gained 50 pounds. And I haven't lost any. I felt like I lost all control with food. Like I was just starving. Well 2 days ago I started trying to get all my Protein in with shakes and I have been eating like 2 lean cuisines, that have a lot of protein in them, a day. It was awful the first couple days but today I woke up feeling like I had a lot of control and like I was satisfied not being stuffed. I've only been eating/drinking 800-1000 calories and I'd say I'm eating less than 50 carbs. I haven't been counting but I'm sure its low since only like 500-600 calories is in meals. So I feel pretty happy right now! I worked the past couple days and work was so boring. It was hard not to eat, especially since I work night shift AND I was training someone new. I kept complaining all night that I was hungry lol! It feels so nice to wake up feeling this good. I hope I can keep it up. Oh! And I've lost 3 pounds! I know it's mostly Water but it is encouraging.

Good job! Getting over the hump the first few days always seems to be the hardest, but once you do, it seems to get easier to get back on track. You'll feel less hungry and tighten up that pouch a bit making it easier to stay the course. You can do it!
