Weight Gain After Sleeve

[Lexsan 104]

I am 2 yrs going on 3 in February post op. I lost a total of 60 lbs in the first year but re gained 45lbs that's a lot. In that time I went through a separation, relocated to a new state and fell back to my old eating habits  this is hard to admit but I need help again. I'm working on eating better however I need help, tips how do I start my weight loss again. BTW does anyone else feel hungry all the time?

Have you tried going back on the pre-op liquid diet for a month to see what that does.

Perhaps you'll be able to feel some restriction again afterwards.

I watched a vlog of a young lady who attended support groups of others who had WLS, perhaps you can find that in your area and get some face to face support as well.

I know how hard that can be. I'm experiencing the same thing. I have started making 5 small meals a day. However, staying on track has been difficult. I find that I need support to help me lose. I've joined a lot of WLS groups on Facebook and really try to stay connected. I am doing better and will continue to see support where ever I can find it.

If you want, we can exchange recipes, and be friends on a food tracking app. I'm using the Lose It app right now to track my foods.

You can do it! I know you can.

I would suggest you make an appointment with your NUT, find a good therapist, and go back to basics.

Your NUT can help you with a good eating plan and a therapist can help you learn new, healthy skills for coping with life changes and stress. See if the therapist who cleared you for surgery can see you or recommend someone who has experience working with bariatric patients.

A good book I read recently, called Eat It Up! might be helpful for you. It was written by a therapist who works with weight loss surgery patients.

In the meantime, go back to basics.

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Make sure you are reaching your Protein and Fluid goal daily.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as recommended.

Exercise.

And, be patient with yourself and Embrace the Stall!
