Thanks for your replies.

Does anyone know of a good app to use specifically for weight loss surgery?

I've found others but none for WLS

Hi everyone..

Hoping for some advice.

I had my sleeve done in March 2013..and lost approx 66 pounds....I had done really well up until about 6 months ago where I have just been on an eating road to destruction.

I can now eat so much more...which is my downfall.I am snacking between meals now because I "think" I'm hungry...and now I get occasional hunger pangs which of course I never had initially after surgery.Up until 6 months ago I would get warning signs that I was full but now when I do get them it's way too late and I feel ill.I've been reading the tiny amounts people are still only able to et at 3 years post surgery,but I can still eat good sized meals.

I don't eat meat..and after surgery I had a lot of Protein shakes to keep my Protein up,but thats also stopped too.I do eat fish and chicken but not that often.

I had started exercising before Christmas..after no exercise after surgery..just keeping busy with incidental exercise but fell off the wagon,so currently do not do any form of exercise except for a job that keeps me moving a fair bit.

I've also stopped taking Vitamins,not intentionally..but wonder if they make a difference?

I've tried rebooking into my surgeon but they have no appointments until April.

I've been under a lot of stress lately and have reverted back to my comfort eating which is what got me to the point of surgery in the first place.

Do anyone think i should go back on the Optifast VLCD as a kick start?

I was thinking if I did that for a few weeks for breakfast and lunch and just have a regular meal for dinner?

Any input would be really appreciated.

Why not go back to basics?

I would suggest you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about strategies for reaching your goals.

In the meantime:

Track, weigh and measure your food.

Drink at least 64 oz of Water a day.

Make sure you reach your protein target every day.

Avoid starches, added sugars, and fried foods.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise.

You have been successful before and it sounds like you know what to do. I don't see how going on a "diet" would be more beneficial than actually following your post-op program more diligently.

Best of luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.
