Hello to all! Brand new to this website, love it already!
I had a sleeve done 2 years ago this November and have only lost a total of 65 lbs. I lost about 75 lbs within 8 months or so of surgery and then it all stopped. I stopped focusing on my eating and exercise and have stuck myself in this long term rut. My problem is that it has been so long since I've focused on diet that I'm not even sure where to start back again. Here are my concerns:
- I know I can't stretch my stomach back out, but I am at a point where I can eat a larger volume of food than I could originally. Has anyone done the 5 day pouch test and do you recommend it?
- I am currently in my first year of vet school and need to pack my lunch but am not good with high Protein, low calorie ideas (except for a chunk of meat). Any ideas or places I can find good ideas?
I have also gotten out of working out and with my current extreme stress lifestyle, I know a good workout will be just the release I need. I'm working on getting motivated to work out before school, but it's not easy
Thanks in advance for the help, I'm getting frustrated and am trying to turn it into motivation!
