I am 20 lbs from being where I was before my surgery. I feel so out of control, is this happening to anyone else?

Me too! Is anyone making positive changes? Like going back to basics...tracking food, Water, exercise? I injured my hip three months after surgery and the more weight I've re-gained the harder it's been to exercise - even simple walking. My family is joining a gym nearby this weekend. I'll start slow and see how it goes. I'm determined to get the momentum back!

I am thinking that I just have to go back to the very basics. Maybe drink 1 Protein Shake daily, no snacking. Break up with soda again. Wondering about trying to try a preshrinking of the stomach pouch..Has anyone tried it?

I started gaining about two years ago....very slowly at first but then in January I started having problems with bursitis and arthritis in my hip, causing too much being sedentary and ultimately I had a hip replacement about 8 weeks ago. Meanwhile, I have packed on the pounds and I'm disgusted with myself. My eating habits have gotten off track again and due to my hip recovery, my exercise routine is in "baby steps". There's no excuse; my SO had a sleeve exactly one year ago so I've been preparing his meals pretty much according to plan. He's done great with his weight loss but I can seen his sweet tooth and carb addiction returning....that one year post op seems to be a turning point.

Have any of you had success in re-disciplining yourselves? If so, what tools did you use? I downloaded something call the 5 Day pouch reset which basically says go back to 5 days of eating just like the first 5 days post op. I did it, but after the 5 days I was pretty much back to square one.

Desperate!

This is what I am going to try. Go to Delay, Don’t Deny on Facebook. Look it over, look at the pictures and testimonials. I think I can do this. What I find now is that I can eat, small amounts ALL day long! (Apparently this is not a good thing!)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
