JessicaAnn 564 Posted November 12, 2013 Ve had some pretty good success with weight loss since my surgery in July. 77lbs down in 4 months! But I've been in this horrible stall for 4 weeks, which has led me to fall into some old eating habits the past week or 2. Too many carbs, too many bad foods. I've still been around 900-1100 calories, but not good calories. Is it just as simple as "getting back on the wagon"? Have I stretched my stomach? Done irreversible damage? I've consumed Pasta, diet soda, and even some sweets. I was doing so well and not even craving the crappy stuff, but once I took a bite, all the cravings came flooding back. 1 luv2plumb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted November 13, 2013 Well I wouldn't say its easy to get back on it.... But it is possible! Your sleeve is still there You just need to start a new day and go back to basics, dense Protein and veg. Kick the crap food cold turkey (which is good Protein by the way ) and stay strong, because the first couple of days kicking carbs is not fun. I doubt that you've done "damage" but know that at this point (after six months) you need to step up the mental game a bit. Loss gets slower and capacity naturally increases a bit. 3 Arts137, luv2plumb and Momonanomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrownDoesAll 409 Posted November 18, 2013 Jessica I don't know how much u have to lose but my biggest regret is losing 75 pounds in the begining and slacking off. Now I am two years out and its much harder to lose. At 4 months out u absolutely can get back on the wagon. Tell yourself ok vacation over time to buckle down again. I agree with Laura pick a day. And go cold turkey. Start to track everything u eat. Allow yourself the occasional treat or carb thing but do count it. Don't miss this great window where your body is used to losing and it will keep coming off. Remember why u started this and where u want to be. Get back on the wagon you will thank yourself later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arts137 1,811 Posted November 18, 2013 Amen to Madam Laura. You have let your fat brain use the stall to fall back to your fat behavior. But you can get on the wagon if you want to. Do you? Go back to day one and start over and stay on the program. Your fat brain will be watching, and want's you to fail. FIGHT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
