Bufflehead 6,358 Posted September 15, 2016 If you don't already, track everything you eat in myfitnesspal to make sure you are in a caloric deficit. Weigh or measure your portions so you are positive about what you are taking in and not guesstimating. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 15, 2016 @@meginsf Go back to basics! Try one of the "reset" diets (5 day pouch reset) and start from where you did post-op. Your sleeve is still there - waiting for you to use it again. Congrats on your babies!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
