Two year annual check up


Today I went for my two year check up with my Surgeon... I received a clean bill of health . He gave me four habits for success
1. Always measure your meals
2. NO SNACKiNG
3. Eat protein rich meals.. Get in the 60-90 grams of protein each day.. Stop eating soft foods that are full of calories and do not satisfy you
4. Exercise and get in 64 oz of water each day

The long term effect of the gastric bypass is through food reduction! When one stops following the guidelines.. You will gain your weight back.. Follow the guidelines and you will not have to worry about regain . I have successfully maintained my weight for the last 2 years.. I must keep on pressing on!

Lately my favorite veggie has been zucchini squash and yellow squash. I take  a little bit of olive oil,a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and sauté it... Yummy! I take the squash,and I put it in half cup containers. Therefore, I have my Veggies prepped for the week. Do you meal prep? It save me a lot of time, and also assist me in making healthy choices.

Weight gain

This week I have been off track, eating out due to vacation, not limiting portion sizes, not drinking all of my decaffeinated tea, coffee, and water. So this morning, I got up drank 8 ounces of water, took my vitamins, and headed to the gym. I am going to call this: # operation HELL no move that scale!!!! I have gained 5 pounds! I am sure is water and sodium retention! However, I am back on track. I will: drink at least 64 oz of water, up my protein intake, get in all my vitamins, and measure my portions. I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
