Help!!! I am about 4 months out but I have lost my mind. My eating is out of control. I need to detox my system ASAP. I remember someone posing about a great detox when you fall off the wagon but I can't find it. If anyone has any suggestions please post.

I was surprised to and that is the scary part. I had no problems at all but I refused to fall off and get back to doing the same old things.

I am six weeks out. I just got back from being on vacation over a week with family and friends. I did not get my protein or water in like I should. I ate sweets, lots of carbs and drank alcohol. I thought my body would reject them all but it was like old times. Which I hated. I need to detox and get back on track. I need suggestions in what I can do to detox and get a jump start because I am not losing.

Thanks

I am almost 6 weeks post op but I had to go and get a catscan because I was having a pain. The pain is on my right side around one of my incision. It also hurts right above the incision. It is a loculated seroma. Has anyone else had this before? What did your doctor do? I am at a stall I have not lost any weight in two weeks but I am exercising and getting in my protein. Just don't know what to do.

African American Sleevers & Hair Loss
sleeve523 replied to Almostthere34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on May 23. I would not advice you to get chemicals. Make sure you take Biotin everyday. I actually got braids and they really helped my hair. -
I am 4 weeks post- op and I am just seeing a 6 pounds weight loss. I have started to walk at least 5 times each week and get more protein in. However, it seems like I am only doing protein. Should I try to include other foods as well. I noticed that when I reduced my carbs as well it made a difference. Any suggestions on food? What are some other things I need to be aware of. It is hard for me to go to the restroom.

Weight Gain Since Surgery (1Wk Post-Op)
sleeve523 replied to missmachine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there!! The exact same thing happened to me. Stay off the scale, get your protein in first and you will see a difference. I am 4 weeks out and just saw a 6 pound drop in one week so it will work. Good luck -

I am two weeks out and still has the urge for sweets. I brought some sugar free shortbread cookies? How can I control my urge for sweets? What kind of foods are out there that can help me with my sweet tooth?
-
They are shortbread cookies so I just suck on them until they dissolve in my mouth. I am not swallowing the cookie because it is very mushy.

Can't believe that I am up 1.6 pounds. My recovery is great. I gave no pain or anything. So I decide to eat what I wanted as long as it was soft foods. This has been a big mistake because most of the foods consist of sugar, carbs, and starch. Now I need to get back on track. What do I need to do? I like to drink decaf coffee is that a problem? Please help me I know I got to do the right thing. I wanted to go to support but the next support group is not until the 19.
