I've fallen off the wagon! I'm 4 months postop and my eating habits are not up to par.

Is there any turning back?

There's always turning back. Fresh start. Start planning your meals, even make them beforehand if you can. Write down everything you eat so that you can be held accountable and see what you did wrong so that you can fix it. You can do this!

Sure - you can turn things around as quickly as the next meal. We all make mistakes. You have taken the hardest step which is the acknowledge the problem. Now you just need to take a few steps at a time to correct this situation. Maybe focus on eating your dense Proteins first or eat your vegetables. Some talk about doing a system reset by following a boot camp program for 5 days. 5 days is not too long. You will start with shakes and then advance into purees and the solids. This may not be exactly right, but the general plan applies to start over eating as a new post op. In addition to changing your eating patterns, try to exercise daily even if this means just getting out for a walk. Make sure you are drinking, drinking and drinking Water. It will go a long ways to flush your system. You can do it! Just make a decision to take the first step and the remaining steps will follow. Good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
