Almost 2 years out



Recommended Posts

I am almost two years out( July) I can not loose anymore weight. I went from 273 to 188 and now back to 199. I need help. I am getting married in July and want to look amazing. I am only 26 and this is starting to depress me. Hence the weight gain from depression meds.

I am 8 months out and just did a check up of what I was actually eating. I noticed my carbs were a little high and my Protein could be upped. I would suggest track and measure your food intake for a few days to see if you have any weak spots, and adjust as needed. I would also look at your activity and make some changes there to shake your body up. Lastly check your Fluid intake as this too can play a part. I joined weight watchers to help me stay accountable and supported. Hope it works for you. It does for me. And congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Back to basics....

Are you tracking what you are consuming? I use myfitnesspal and if I didn't, I'd easily fall off of the band wagon.

Are you getting your Protein in first?

Are you getting in your Water?

Are you working out? My WLS group class, the dr. that leads it, says the latest research shows you have to do 60-90 minutes of pure cardio a day to lose and or maintain your weight loss. It doesn't have to be all at one time, but the overall point is be active, active active.

If you add these few things back into your daily life, I think it will push you to losing again. And activity helps with depression.

Best of luck - and congrats on your pending nuptials!

A friend at work had Sleeve and has lost almost no weight after the first few months. She struggled with getting Protein in right from the start. Her diet has consisted mostly of carbs with some protein. She is a busy mom and professional so exercise is not happening at all. I'm hoping she gets things turned around. I have lost 54 pounds in 6 weeks and never felt better. But I love the Protein Drinks and work out with my sons. Different place for sure. Hope you get rolling and congrats on the marriage.

I second that. We have all invested so much in the change we are making in our lives. We can give up. Good luck we are all behind you and all those struggling.

      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.
