Alabama sparkles 2 Posted April 5, 2016 I am one month into the six month required diet monitoring. My surgeon has a 45 carb a day diet. I asked if net or actual she said net for now is OK. I was doing really good for 3 weeks,then my daughter brought home pizza for dinner and I way over did it, now I am having trouble getting back on track I had lost 14 pounds but have put back 6 in the last 3 days. Just need to vent and try to bring myself back in line with what I need/want to do. Sent from my XT1528 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daniotra 298 Posted April 5, 2016 Get back on the horse. You can do it. If you are anything like me, half that weight gained is Water weight and will come right off. I was on a business trip last week and ate much more than I intended, but I'm back on track now. Don't beat yourself up.

katanne 215 Posted April 5, 2016 You and me both - I managed to "regain" the weight I'd lost with a Chinese food cheat - all the sodium made me retain Water so now it looks like I didn't lose a thing! Hoping/figuring it'll be out of my system by next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellabeans 74 Posted April 5, 2016 I'm a little confused as to why we see a nutritionist ?? If we could lose the weight on our own we wouldn't need the surgery right ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmorri 1,689 Posted April 5, 2016 @@bellabeans Even after the surgery you have to change your eating habits and the nutritionist can help you plan for that...now as far as the supervised diet prior to surgery I tend to agree with you there....and I'm very happy my insurance didn't require that!!!
