Gaining the weight back



Recommended Posts

I had my weight loss surgery May 25, 2016. I started at 240 lbs. I went down to 158 lbs by April 2017. Then my back went out and I could hardly walk and I went for surgery June 2017. Since April I’ve gained 35 lbs back. I can’t seem to get back on track. I’m an emotional eater and addicted to bad foods. Can anyone suggest ways to get back on track?

Go back to the beginning. Measure, weigh, log, move.

Are you still only eating the small amounts? Gaining after is my biggest fear

Sorry to hear about your surgery hope your back is doing better.

Don't beat yourself up over a gain. Getting back on track can be done.

Suggestions:

  • Get rid of all the temptation food and go grocery shopping for healthy choices.
  • If you need help with emotional/stress eating and addiction seek counseling.
  • Log your food and hydrate
  • Move more. Walking ect...
  • Find your motivation. Why did you want to lose weight to being with?
  • Have perspective. All of us have our struggles to overcome in life. Yes, weight loss is not easy. Realize a cancer patient would gladly trade places with you.
  • Recognize if you are Grazing. (eating small meals all day and night going over your calories)
