My advice? Go back to basics of your "forever plan".

Eat ONLY the amount of volume they tell you per meal. If you can eat only 3 meals per day and meet your Protein needs do so--cut out the snacking!!! Clean your pantry, fridge, freezer out. Recommit to your new body! You deserve this! Quit cheating, break up with your old ways again, kick the crap to the curb!!!!

Weigh yourself daily.

Plan your meals, and log every bit in a fitness app like MFP.

Exercise daily.

Eat to your rules and get in the amount of protein your doc and RD told you to eat daily and make sure you are taking your Vitamins. You might also call your surgeon to see him/her and get a referral to your RD for a new plan to combat this.

1. Eat 2-4oz of lean dense protein per meal.

2. Eat 1-2oz of al dente veggies per meal.

3. Eat a little healthy fat with every meal (1tsp of evoo or avocado oil or butter OR 1oz of avocado OR 1/2oz nuts)

4. No drinking 15 minutes before a meal or at least 1hour after.

Get enough sleep each night.

Try to deep breath and get stress relieving things on board.

Congrats on your losses so far and on recognizing the need to get back to being serious about health!

I agree with what FluffyChix said about going back to the basics for a while to get back on track. Eating healthier will help with the acid reflux too

I'm following this thread, and horrified that it applies to me as well! I was sleeved in August of 2017 and lost about 85 pounds. I never got to my goal weight. At my lowest I was 237 (started at 328). I am back up to 250. I need to get back on track, and I'm so scared that this slippery slope will be impossible to stop. I still get full, but I can eat more than I could right after surgery. It's going to be harder now that I don't have the benefit of that full feeling. It was a huge decision for me to have that surgery, and I feel like I wasted that opportunity. I'm feeling really defeated.

      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.
