I was sleeved 7/1/17 and it's been about a month now since my surgery. I used to weight myself every single day until I started loosing less at about 3 weeks post-op. I am now at the solid foods stage and noticed that I'm probably eating more than I should. I also noticed that I can eat a lot of chips (which I know it's not good, and I stopped already.) but I weighed myself on Thursday, 7/27, and noticed I had gained 2 pounds! I really started freaking out. I'm kind of scared that I'm over eating and starting to gain...?! Is that possible?? Since my operation I have lost 26 pounds... counting my pre-op stage I have lost a total of 40 pounds. Being completely honest... i don't weigh my food, and don't really follow a strict diet. I am kind of doing the "Low Carb diet" because that's what my dr kind of told me to do... I have a 4oz smoothie in the morning, then a 2oz tuna salad for a snack. For lunch I'll have a soup, then a small fruit after like an hour because I get a bit hungry. And for dinner I'll have like a 2oz chicken with a tiny bit of soup. My struggle is in the night!! I'm a night eater. I get so hungry like around 8-9ish and I feel like o start to graze. Any suggestions??? I'M REALLY SCARED to start gaining weight after just a month of my surgery! [emoji31]

What does your eating schedule look like??

Depends on what I find LOL. Lately I've been eating too many chips... I just stopped. But I'll eat anything from watermelon, to a small piece of chocolate, a caramel ice cream bar, or a fruit. But last week I was eating way too many chips. I was surprised I could eat a lot of them! I ate them for about 3 days straight in the nights, Then after finding out I gained 2 pounds, I freaked out and stopped.

I haven't seen a NUT, and my doctor gave me a general diet to follow, but it's not all that great. I'm definitely gonna download that app!! Thanks so much!!

I'm a 25 year old guy, and before weight loss journey I weighed 304 pounds. Now I weigh 264, but like I said I gained 2 pounds. I know I should be dropping weight fast, but I'm scared I'm not. I'm also worried now about starting to gain weight. I wish I had some sort of like a meal plan for the week. I find many out there but they don't really say how much of everything can you eat, or if they have meal plans, they are like supper complicated. I jut really don't want to start gaining weight again.

I am actually not taking any protein shakes... I know I should, but i just don't know how much of it to drink?! Like I said on my post, i don't weigh my food or even count how much protein I'm having in the day... And that is completely my fault. I just don't know how to do all of that. I wish I just had a simple eating plan day to day that told me exactly what to eat and how much of it. All the time I look for things I end up getting more confused.

That's what a normal day of eating looks like for me, in the nights is when I tend to eat chips, or drink a snaple, or junk like that. Since I noticed I gained the 2 pounds I stopped eating the junk food, and am really trying hard to stick to my diet. It's just extremely hard for me since I still have the obese mentality.

Does anyone ever feel so thirsty you just want to gulp down that water bottle?! I've been sipping on a water bottle for about 30 minutes and almost finished it and STILL have that craving of chugging it down.
