I had gastric surgery april 2017. Weighed 290, by march 2018 was down 120 lbs to 170, now the scale creeping up . I've cheated, no point in lying, just wanna get back on track. I'm almost to the 200 's. Every day I try. I'm so disappointed in myself, should i do a pouch reset. Do they even work? I even crave chips and candy worst than i did before. How to believe in myself again!!! I love the new me!!FB_IMG_1522822308340.jpeg 20180609_145421.jpeg 20170708_153808.jpeg

Put everything you think is causing the gain straight in the trash and search for bariatric alternatives.

There are so many ways to substitute what you want for what you can have. Especially here in the BariatricPal Store.

A cleaner diet will help the most, but keep I'm mind there is a regain factor that is nearly unavoidable, you do however get a say in how much that is based on what you do next.

Safe journey!

Most of us have had weight gain after goal. Getting back on track can be done. Believe in yourself.

Time to clean out the house of crap food choices. Go grocery shopping for your weight loss phase food plan. For some, a reset gets them back into the weight loss mindset. For others it's too restrictive to go back to liquid soft food stage. You will get the same results going back to bariatric basic food stage. Whole foods that are more satisfying.

Log and weigh your food.

Hydrate

Activity

You have done this before you can do it again. It's finding the old discipline you had at the beginning of your surgery. The food holidays are here. Make a goal to get past them and ring in the new year at a lower weight.

It's not easy to detox and get back to healthy habits. Its work. You will feel crappy for a few weeks. If you are consistent you will see results.

I found mindful eating helps - the meditation-while-eating kind. Then I did an assessment of all my behaviors and realized I was allowing a 10% of variance across the board - an extra bite of lunch when out with coworkers, an extra piece of cheese, a bigger mug for my coffee, more frequent errands to the CVS where I just happen to pick up something slightly sugary, a shorter walk with the dog...

Realigning all of that helps, and the mindful eating part made me really focus on “why am I eating this, is it fulfilling my expectations, is this really the taste I wanted”. Backsliding blows.

      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.
