I eat a lot of chopped salads with whatever protein I have. A lot of eggs. Steaks, fish (usually salmon or tilapia), poke, ceviche, tuna + grilled veggies. Lots of wraps with hummus, lettuce, veggies, and protein. Tons of guacamole.
I've been using a few extra things to help besides just the meds. Like a food scale to be super precise when meal prepping. I also found a meal prep app that lets me save recipes and figure out calories. And progress pics! I kinda thought they were silly at first, but seeing the visual changes...
I make sure I include fun foods in my diet, but I always track the calories. And I'm losing! Restricting myself too much isn't good for my mental health, so I try to listen to my body's hunger and fullness cues. With sema, I can actually feel when I'm full.

I didn't see it posted, so here it is. I'm fortunate enough to have decent insurance, but hopefully this will help others
I realize most posts are about folks hitting the one-hundreds, BUT I've been lugging around 300+ pounds for about a decade. Can't remember the last time I saw anything other than a 3 as the initial digit on the scale so definitely celebrating this!
