I think the key is to remember why we did this in the first place. And then remember how we got in the frame of mind to lose weight, and follow the same plan. I have been post-op 7 months now and I have weeks where I have gains. I can pinpoint why I gain. It is because I am NOT getting my protein drinks in, and I eat even when satisfied. My advice (for what it's worth) is to get those protein drinks back in your body and get in the proper frame of mind to stop eating when you are satisfied, using the 30-60 rule as well. I also try to walk instead of snacking in the evening. I hope this helps....and remember it's a long journey and not a sprint. Cheers, Greg

I haven't gained.... I am currently doing 1200 calories per day and use MyFitnessPal app to log EVERYTHING I eat. I think it would be hard to gain too much if I stick to this plan. Since moving to my healthy diet phase, my weight loss has been about 3-4 lbs per week.

I have discovered the Life Choice brand of protein bars sold at Walmart. They are very tasty and dense so they satisfy me for a long time. They also provide a whopping 21g of protein in 210 calories, with 8g of fat and 7g of sugar and 14g of carbs. They are on the upper limit for fats, sugars and calories for me but I use them as a meal when I am on the go. They come in Peanut Butter extreme and double chocolate flavors. They've done well for me so far.
