I'm 5 mos out and have lost 93 pounds. I'm not eating the best of foods but of course in limited amounts. I haven't gained anything but I've been really paranoid lately about gaining my weight back. Has anyone been dealing with that and how do I stay on track?

I am not even close to goal, but I think about this a lot. I plan to find a few of the most disgusting pictures of myself at my highest weight and keep them close by to look at as needed.

I look at old pics constantly. I try eating vegetables and meats. But sometimes I grab some chips...subway sandwiches with mayo...resees..cookies...u name it.

I know exactly how you feel, some days I'll eat exactly how I'm supposed to and other days I cave in. I'm 6 months out and have lost 90lbs. It's hard to keep focused when food has been the thing you turned to all your life. I haven't gained anything and I too worry about gaining it all back but as long as we keep these foods that aren't the best in moderation we should be fine. That's the good thing about the sleeve, you can't really overeat if you listen to your body.

I recommend one on the fridge door, one on your pantry, one in your car and one in your wallet. That way you cannot miss them and will be reminded how far you've come and where you don't want to go back to.

To the OP, you've got to plan! Stock up on good Protein and pack Snacks to take with you wherever you go.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
