I don't know what do to



Recommended Posts

It has been going on three years since my sleeve was done. I was doing great for little over two years. Then I started putting weight back on I went from. 210 to now weighing 285. I am so depressed over this weight gain. My doctors office said it happens, but I have to jump back to losing again. I excerize. Go for walks. Watch what I eat. Try to keep my Protein up. Anyone have any ideas what i else I can try.

Have you met with a nutritionist recently to review your food and exercise? Do you weigh and track your food and beverages? Do you consume "slider foods"? I am pre-op, but these are all important things that have been discussed with me numerous times with my nutritionist, surgeon, and in my local support group.

I hope you can get the guidance that you need soon.

How many calories do you take in per day? Protein? Carbs? How much Water do you drink each day? Do you track your food and drink? I ask these questions because it is hard to give advice without more information.

Thank you. Sorry I didn't get much info on that before. I drink about 60 to 100oz of Fluid a day. I did talk to a nutritionist and keep logs of what I eat. We found that my salt intake was high, so we changed that real fast. I try to eat fresh food that I have to prepare for myself. But rare occasions I go out to eat. I walking a lot or doing excerizing at home or the gym.

My Protein in take is 50 to 105g. Depends on if my stomach is handling food that day. I can't handle starchy food at all. So try not to rematch them.

Recently I had oral surgery done and can't chew foods at all. So been doing soft foods. Or Protein Shakes. Trying to watch my values been close to 1700

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
