So I just found this app and I am looking for support. I am 14 months out I had lost 93 lbs. I have since gained back 24 lbs in the last 6 months. I was one of the ones who can still eat whatever I want just could only fit so much. I had some really bad pain last Friday after I ate celery (I forgot that was one of the only things that my stomach can't handle) But it was a wake up call. I am now on day two of really focusing on what I put in my mouth and how much. I just need some accountability and someone to connect with that is willing to help. Thank you for reading. Nicole

You can do this, you know it because you did it before. Get back to logging what you eat, weighing what you eat...whatever worked for you the first time. At least you caught yourself before you gained it all back! Good luck!!

Thank you shrinking peach. I have started my log back and I am starting simple. Veggies,eggs,meat and protien shake. Sugar was my enemy.

I am 1 year post op, I have stalled for 1 month and have now gained 9 lbs. I am so upset. I got into Big Cup of Noodles. High carbs easy meal, a real tummy warmer. Stopped now. Back on track. Hope i can get back to feeling in control again. Stressed out doesn't help.

You can do it! I had a few months of making really poor food choices and stalled, and then I woke of one morning and basically gave myself a kick and am now back on track. I know for me I panicked that things were going back to how they were pre-op, but then I remembered that 85% of my stomach was missing and there was no reason that I couldn't continue to use that as a tool. We are way ahead of people without surgeries when it comes to sticking to the basics that we have learned. I also have found it helpful to read newbie posts because they are so compliant and motivated. For me, it helps get me back in that mindset.

Fluffy...you are doing great! You can loose that 9 lbs, no problem. :) Stress is no help. I am emotional head hunger type of person also. I have been reading quite a bit about emotions and hunger. I have taken away a few tips from some books.

1. Create a "safe haven" at home where food is not allowed. Retreat here when you have the urge to sabotage yourself. I picked my bedroom. I don't bring any food in there and I run there when I need to divert the urge to snack.< /p>

2. Learn why your body needs the food. The inner workings. It helps take the focus off of just putting things in your mouth.

3. Pick up a book when you feel the urge to snack and/or drink a glass of Water first before putting that bad thing in your mouth.

I fell into the slider trap. I didn't like eating meats too much because it would feel uncomfortable going down. So I turned to sugar. AHHHH! The worst thing I could have done. Everything went down so easy and it was so good.....until time crept up and I stepped on the scale then I about fell over at what I did to myself.

Now I am back on track . 4 days in and starting the 5 day pouch test to reset the tightness in my tummy.

Good Luck Fluffy. If you need a buddy, I am here.

Thank you Chasing Polaris! You really put it into perspective about us still having the tool. My imagination was telling my I screwed it up and stretched my stomach out. So after your post I did some research and found the 5 day pouch test to basically reset my tummy. Thanks for the advice on the newbie forum. I will take a look at that and stick to my mindset that I am in.

I got this!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
