  1. Hi, I need help! I had the sleeve in March of 2015. About a year ago I started gaining weight back. I've gained about 25 lbs back. I recently got a personal trainer and have been working out consistently for 2 months. The problem is the scale hasn't moved. My trainer focuses on strength training. So 4 of the 5 days we workout we are lifting and 1 day is cardio for about 30 minutes. He wants me to eat more because of this but physically I can't ( you guys can relate). He wants me to eat more than 1200 calories a day but I'm only getting in about 600. Maybe 700 or 800 on a good day. I just need advice. I don't know if I should cut back on the strength training or revamp my eating (which I don't know what I should do with my eating). I just want to lose the weight I gained so that I can feel better in my body like I did year 1 and 2 after surgery. Any advise who would! Thanks in advanced.

    Well I’m meaning back to the basics before I allowed myself to get back to my normal before surgery. My life changed when I moved to another state away from family and friends. It put me in a depression that caused bad eating behaviors which is how the weight got on.

    I appreciate that. I am definitely going to do something different. Going back to what I was doing before and getting results.

    It's not tough for me. Since working out I have only being eating OMAD and a protein shake. Granted I have stopped doing that over the last week and have been making myself eat and drink throughout the day. I keep busy especially now working from home it's easy for me to get caught up. In addition to the OMAD and protein I was ding intermittent fasting hoping that would make the scale move as well. I have been on google but its hard when you're so far out of your surgery to get advice which is why I came here. I appreciate your input though.

    I definitely understand that. When I started with my trainer I started cutting back. But I didn’t realize that i had cut back so much. I was literally eating OMAD and a protein shake after my workout. Now I am being more cognizant about what I’m eating. I am now using my fitnesspal to track my food. And now that I’m wfh it’s easier to tell myself hey you haven’t eaten anything in about 2 hours grab some fruit or something. So over the last few days I can say I have upped my calorie intake. Today I ate about 1400 calories but that’s because I was making sure that every other hour I was eating. Whether it was fruit or yogurt. After reading some responses I truly think I haven’t been eating enough and with working out 5 days a week my body was going into starvation mode and hanging on to the food.

    I think i will. I’m going to try doing the reset diet to jump start it. If that doesn’t work then I am definitely going to reach out to him.

    Also the 600 calories has only been since I’ve been working out. So over the last 2 months. Before I wouldn’t eat often but i would eat the wrong things. Mainly fast food because my job is so demanding.

    It didn’t happen over night. It’s been over the last 2.5 years. I know I said a year but I’m counting the time since I moved away from home. Eating all the wrong things. Not being active at all. I’m sure before i was eating more than that but I’ve cut back to eating about that over the last few months. My job keeps me so busy that if I don’t intentionally make myself eat i won’t eat. But I’m going to start back meal prepping because that seems to be the way I can eat when I’m supposed to and get my calories in.

    I truly appreciate this feedback. Yes I have been eating about this much since year 1. Some days I eat more but it's mostly 600-800. I tried eating more and it was an interesting day. I honestly don't get enough fluids and I know I'm probably not getting enough protein. I think I need to get back to the basics. Thank you so much again. I think I'm going to reset and then start here and see what happens
