is it bad...

[vbgirl264 28]

I had rny in january 2013- ive been snacking and not watching portion sizes. I wanna go back to the basics before I start gaining weight again. Would it be bad to go back to the liquid diet and than start the beginning diet like after surgery?

Always go back from beginning of plan if you get off track

I doubt that there would be a problem with going back to the post-op diet but we don't have all of the details of your journey so far so that's probably a question best answered by your doctor.

You may want to consider a different question - is it reasonable to go back and repeat what you've already done and expect a different outcome? Perhaps you can make some adjustments to your routine and move forward from where you're at? Are you logging your food? If not, I highly recommend that you start without delay. My Fitness Pal is quick and easy to use, free, and has what I believe to be one of if not the largest food database on the market. Highly recommended. But if you prefer there any number of other apps out there and most do pretty much the same function.

Logging your food is a powerful tool that will allow you to manage your weight instead of your weight managing you. Success is about control, not denial. And food logs put you in control. You simply enter your current weight and how much you would like to lose on a weekly basis. The app will calculate a calorie goal that when you maintain it, will likely produce the weight loss that you are trying to achieve. If you meet the goal and your weight loss is not what you expected, it's easy to adjust the goal up or down until you find the number that is right for you. Now you're in control.

Remember that the calorie goal is an average. It is not realistic or sustainable to expect to meet that goal every single day. There will be days when you are over. And there will be days when you're under. It's important to allow yourself those days. And you'll quickly discover that they are nothing to fear. You simply adjust your calorie goal, up or down, for a day or two and you're right back on track with your goal average.

Try it. You're gonna love the new you!
