I’m doing terrible with adding food to live forever on this maintenance. I am totally depressed I spent 2 months in Florida walked a mile or two every day stayed below 1000 calories a day and lost nothing!!! Now I’m gaining since I’m home probably cuz I am so disgusted. I can only eat small amounts but am hungry an hour later. I was never hungry like this before I had surgery. Ugh it was hell having the prep surgery and post op issues and why to be so unhappy. Help. Do I need a string?

February 2019 weight loss buds
brittmarr1 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I tried the fair life with pudding. It didn’t set up. But I you their elite chocolate for a shake plus a scoop of protein powder. I use isopure. Not bad. Just don’t smell it. -

Good luck to you. I was 68 when I had my sleeve done wish I did it sooner. Recovery was a piece of cake. Missing real food though. I have to just get used to that.

Try the fair life chocolate elite. I mix 10oz with 6 oz 1% milk a scoop of isopure unflavored protein and ice in my ninja. You get over 40 grams of protein and it tastes good. -

I think we all get stuck. We think about the numbers so much. Or too much. -
Looking fantastic!

6 month post-op weight loss
brittmarr1 replied to NotActive1234's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My weight loss has stalled but I am hungry too. I’m 5 months out now and only 48ish down. Truly stalked. The dieticians aren’t concerned they just changed up my diet. Fingers crossed it works -
6 month post-op weight loss
brittmarr1 replied to NotActive1234's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m doing ok with the sleeve. I was supposed to have bypass but when the surgeon got in there my small intestine was too short to do the bypass. But I am actually really happy with the sleeve. I’m losing weight slower but I’m not sick like a lot of the bypass people. I can believe anyone lost 125 lbs in 6 months I’ll be happy with 10 lbs a month. Good luck with your decision! Oh I lost 45 in 4 1/2 months. -

I appreciate this and all the sites. I see that I’m not alone. I’m down 45 and wish it was more. I was watching protein but not carbs. I’m resetting today. I’ll see what that brings. -

I step on the scale daily. My surgeon says to weigh. Come on. I have to weigh the scale is right there. I was losing better before I transitioned to real food. I was looking at protein and really not paying attention to carbs. Yikes! Revamping my eating! -

Jodster My weight loss has been slow but it’s not magic. You’ll lose weight slow and steady. I’m 4 1/2 months out and down only 45 lbs. we are rethinking my eating. I just don’t get enough protein. -

I think the protein powder is disgusting. I only use it in a cold shake or instant pudding. I use unflavored isopure Had an appointment yesterday and got new info on increasing protein. Going to try it all. Also. Healthy4Life ( Munster Indiana) has a Facebook page and there is a great talk on adding protein. Look it up. There are several Healthy 4Life groups. Julie and Debi lead those videos
