4 1/2 YEARS OUT.........REPORT IN



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved by Dr Aceves in Mexico in Jan 2013. I lost weight quickly and within a year was happily at 162 lbs (I am 5"6" tall and large frame). My original goal for myself was 170, and the BMI scale says 154, so I happily in the middle. I have learned that I can eat a lot of empty calories and that carbohydrates are NOT my friends. I try to stay away from fried foods, but do not eat fat free. I still have a Protein Shake for Breakfast everyday mostly because I am not crazy about breakfast. I don't limit anything that goes on my plate, but live by the Protein first, Veggies second and Carbs last rule as much as possible. Late night snacking is still a struggle for me and if I am not careful, I will see the scale sneaking up. I freak out if I see 164 and try to stay between 160 and 162. If I have a particularly bad week, I will spend a couple days on high protein soft foods like chicken, fish, shakes, etc to reset. I still drink more Diet Coke than I should, but no where near what I used to. I do not drink with meals. I struggle with Water intake, but do drink Crystal Light. We are retired and do a lot of travelling and cruising so often food is in abundance. Overall, I LOVE my sleeve!!! It is exactly the tool I needed to prevent me from gaining back the weigh I tried to keep off for over 35 years.

How is everyone else doing?
