My weight loss has been great, but I have slipped back into bad habits. I lost my job a month ago, stopped going to the gym and started eating things I couldn’t. Now I can’t seem to break the cycle. Has anyone experienced this and been able to get back on track? I am worried I will fail if I can’t fix this soon.

I am about 7 weeks post op from the sleeve. I have lost 42 pounds since surgery and 88 pounds total. I am eating the right foods and drinking water. My struggle as been exercise. I was all about it before surgery and after I haven’t been able to have the motivation to get back to the gym. I feel like I am behind where I should be in weight loss and I feel it is the exercise portions. I am looking for any tips or advise on how to get back the motivation to exercise. Thank you for the support.

I had a sleeve on 5/23. I have processed through the stages of food and just started back on “regular” food. I am struggling with getting back to exercise. I have lost 42 pounds since surgery, but I feel I should be further along.

Hey everyone. I know there are some who have started or gone back to Keto after having sleeve surgery. I just saw my doctor and am cleared for Stage 3. Is it too soon to start Keto again or should I wait until I am on Stage 4? Plus any recipes you want to share are great too. Thanks.

I am meeting with my surgeon on Tuesday but his nurse practitioner told me to already start losing weight. Problem is I don’t know what meal plan to use. Keto, Paleo, Mediterranean, ???? I am not sure where to start. I still have a few months at least until my surgery, but I want to get a jump on it. Any advise from those that have done this would be appreciated.

I had the sleeve. I was told that any pill the size of a regular M&M or smaller was fine to take. Anything bigger, crush it or cut it in half.

I am just over 2 weeks post op. My weight loss was going great, about 1.5-2lbs per day. I am down about 20lbs since surgery. All of a sudden, I haven’t lost any weight in the last 3 days. I have been tracking my food intake and I am averaging about 450-500 calories a day, mostly protein. I am still on stage 2 foods. Apple sauce, cottage cheese, butternut squash soup and protein shakes. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions, or is this normal to stall for a short period. I am just afraid that I will have gone through surgery for nothing. Thank you

Thank you both. Yes, I get caught up on the numbers on the scale and I knew it would slow down. This is all just new and I want to be a success story and not one of the ones you hear about and fear to become where they don’t loose weight or end up gaining it back. Thank you for sharing so I know something is now “wrong”

Can’t seem to get even 4 oz of water in. 4 days post op and constantly feel full. Any suggestions? Is the full feeling maybe something else like surgery discomfort? I have stopped all pain meds.

I am a couple days post op and wanting to switch from the pain meds they gave me at the hospital to liquid Tylenol. I can find a sugar free adult liquid Tylenol or generic. Where did others find it?

Was it sugar free or regular?

I am sitting in the waiting room. Today is surgery day. Nervous, anxious and excited. Been looking forward to this for 2 years. Starting weight: 375 Surgery goal weight: 340 Surgery day weight: 328

I am scheduled for 5/23. I’m also keeping busy. Cleaning the house. Making food. Double checking supplies. Hitting the gym a few more times. Anything to keep busy and keep my mind off of it.

I am looking for ideas from people who have already had surgery. What exercise should I do pre-op to lose weight and should I work on strengthening my core before surgery? Thank you in advance.

I am 3 pounds from my goal weight. I still have 6 weeks to lose it before I see my surgeon, but I have been stuck for 2 weeks. What can I do. I can’t loose this opportunity.

Thank you. Carbs are going away today.

Thank you. I am nervous and excited. I have been trying to have surgery for 3 years and finally have insurance that will cover it so I don’t want to screw it up.

They will see me, but my surgery is scheduled and if I am not at the goal weight at my pre-op appointment they will cancel my surgery.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you. I have had success before on Keto but I wasn’t sure yet if you could do Keto post op with a sleeve or bypass.
