Weight Gain after 2 years



Recommended Posts

Want to get back on track and lose the weight. Any help, advice etc is appreciated. I find that I don't even remember how I was eating when I lost weight. I would like to know how others manage their diet.

I find MyFitnessPal to be very helpful, because by being in the habit of writing down what you're consuming, you're making yourself more mindful about your choices. I don't follow a strictly low-carb diet because I find that it's too restrictive for me to sustain, but I do try to go for lower carb (under 100 grams a day), and by keeping track of what I'm eating, I can better stay within the range. There are other similar apps, but that's the one I use.

If you do a keyword search of VSG on Instagram or Pinterest you can find a lot of posts, and many are meal plans or pictures of meals. I've gathered a lot of ideas and inspiration there. On YouTube there's also recipes, grocery hauls, and other videos of that sort by people who've had the VSG and are showing what works for them.

Clementine Sky's suggestions are good ones. I would also recommend the 5:2 plan. Just Google it and you will see. In a nutshell it's eating 500 calories or less 2 days a week. Not terribly hard because it's only 2 days and not consecutive.

I am 6 years out and have gained 10 lbs. I reached my goal weight after one year. I would love to go to a BACK ON TRACK retreat if anyone knows of something like that. I live in Europe but would be willing to travel.

Good luck to us!

      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
