Have no fear peeps!!!

I did an experiment this AM just out of curiosity! I had a 42 bougie sleeve when operated on. I am 3 years, 2 months and few days out!. Well, I haven't really measured a lot in the past years to really judge the portion sizes of my food. I go through phases and it doesn't last long. Well this AM on an empty stomach. I ate 3 ounces of plain chicken breast, was satisfied! took the other ounce off the chicken bones and it was a tad too much. I should of stayed at 3 ounces. So, you live by your surgeons orders and eat dense protein and veggies, fruit, carbs for your lifetime. Things should work out pretty well. Some days, I feel that I have stretched the ole tool right out. But, then go back to basics and realize, nope, I haven't. The grazing is a killer with carbs!

Have a great Saturday everyone!!

Hugs & Loves

Not quite as far out as you, but I still have great restriction also. Not too different from a year out really.. Isn't it awesome!

 I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

Loves that it hasn't gone wrong!!!

We're a lot alike in the eating part Fawn. We can eat what we want, when we want, and how much we want to our stomach pleasures. With keeping the weight down. I just need to add the exercise and I will feel that I have the total package!!

 I'm almost two years out and was only able to eat less than two ounces of a reheated bbq'd hamburger the other morning for breakfast (with about a half ounce of cheese on it).  On the other hand, the night before I had a whole burger (3 ounces) with cheese and a few shoestring fries fairly easily.  In the morning I have much more restriction.  Yep, grazing is a killer with carbs and I need to exercise too, to get off my 5 lb  regain!
