How do I get back on track? I was able to get down to 170 with my goal 160. The last month I’ve ate whatever and went from 5 times to 2 times a week at the gym. Which has resulted in 5lbs regain in a month. I can’t go back to old habits but it’s hard to get back on track .

Get back to basics. Focus on getting in your fluids. Weigh and track everything you eat. Eat your Protein first and aim to hit your protein goal every day. Get back to moving your body for at least 30 minutes a day. If you are struggling with those, or after a few weeks don't see improvement, reach out to your surgery center. Getting back to basics can be hard, but small steps add up, you can do it!

Thank you it’s definitely hard

I feel you! I have regained 5 lbs over the past couple of months and I’m not exercising nearly as much as I used to. Definitely need to get my head back in the game. I am about 16 months out from VSG now and the restriction I used to feel when eating has all but vanished even when I stick to the “protein first” rule, so it makes it extra difficult to not overeat. 😝

Wow, no restriction after 16 months. That makes me sad. I love the forum here where people post pictures of what they made then how much they ate. The first picture looks like 1-2 cups of food and the second picture shows they ate maybe 1/2 cup leaving a lot behind. I want to be a member of this “not clean small plate club” for life. Do you still get hungry?

Yes, I still get hungry. I never lost my hunger completely even in the beginning. It’s much more of a struggle to maintain my loss that I was expecting it to be.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
