4 year post op check out


This week, I went to my baratric surgeon for my four year check up.  
He assured me that I was doing everything that I needed to do. He gave me 4 tips for long term success.
4 weight loss surgery success habits: 
1. Limit portion sizes by measuring foods AT ALL TIMES! 
2. No snacking if possible, limit them to 2 planned snacks a day ( fresh fruit or veggies, limit carb intake)
3. Drink an adequate amount of water
4. Exercise

I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
