The past 6 months have been hard and I've completely gotten off track. I hit maintenance at about 15 months post op and was maintaining at 180-182 pounds. I was happy with that and my doctor was to since I was within 5 pounds of my goal. Well I got complacent and allowed old habits back in and I've gained 10 pounds in the last 6 months. I decided part of getting back on track is getting my support system back so I'm logging back in here and going to meetings again locally. I've started tracking food again and I'm back exercising. The hardest part has been snacking. I tracked my daily log a few weeks ago and I was eating so much because I was just snacking way to much. I'm back down to 1,000-1200 calories a day per my NUT suggestion. Its so hard but I know I can do it. I'm hoping to get plastic surgery in the near future so that is my goal.

Finally got out of my stall that was driving me crazy. If you're doing everything right there's no point in geting all stressed out (even tho I do ) Sent from my LM-V405 using BariatricPal mobile app

@Sullie06 stop kicking yourself (you'll get black & blue!) you are doing everything correctly to get back on track. kudos for realizing you are in trouble - stopping before 10 lbs turns into 20, 30 etc logging everything you eat, counting calories, eating less, exercising, seeking support groups et al you must STOP eating incorrectly - go back to the olden days of smaller portions, less calories etc knowing the problem is half the solution,☺️ congrats on reaching GOAL earlier - i know you will get back their again!! good luck kathy

4 days postop I ended back in the hospital with low potassium and dehydration. I cut them in 3rds and freeze them then puree with a bit of almond milk, basically like banana ice cream. I put a scoop in my protein drink each morning.

I started to double up on the vitamins. In the am - multi for her / hair-nail / prenatal. In the pm - a different Multi / calcium It's been 2 weeks since I started this and using shampoo with biotin / once every 3 days at night spray vit. E I see less hair in the drain shower and on the brush. But no regrowth yet. Passing on what I see or not see LOL

Good news! You'll be back on track and happy in no time. Congratulations Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

100% better! Thanks.

Be careful taking nutritional advice from someone without bariatric expertise. Our needs are different and since our volume is so restricted, you have to do a balancing act.

@DanaC84 OMG!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me understand what’s happening n various changes that I can try. THANK U THANK U!!

I went through a whole Laughing Cow cheese phase!
