gaining weight



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I had my gastric sleeve surgery on May of 2012 and I lost 68lbs. My current weight is 212lbs. But I'm stuck with my weight now. I'm having very stressful moments in my life right now that I'm lost my priorities and the encouragement to reach my goals. I want to know how I can going back and started again. Please I really appreciate any suggestions. Sincerely.

Move back to step one, get back on liquids and Protein Drinks for a couple of weeks and then start following the diet. You'll start losing again. If you need some psychological encouragement, consider seeing a therapist to find out why you may have sabotaged yourself. It's never too late to get back on the program, all you need is to want it. Good luck.

And when you get back on the diet-- track, track, track your calories, Proteins, carbs, etc. I use My Fitness Pal. It helps keep me honest. Good luck! You can do this!

At that far out I'm not sure it would be wise to start back on liquids. Just get back to the basics and what you know. Protein first, 60-80g daily, Water and log everything. Watch your calories and protein and water and you know it will work. Good luck to you

      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.
