I was high on protein, veggies and then fruit. Very low on carbs. I didn't count calories so I can't answer that. I was sleeve in January 2016 and by June had lost the 59 pounds.

Thank you everyone for your help! I have made bad choices and now have return to program. I am tracking my food and this week was a tough one with a lot of bad food on display at work. I didn't touch one thing bad on the table and had my ammo in my lunch bag to snack on. I need to stay focused and return to this site more than I did in the past. THANK YOU for letting me come back!!!

Hi, I have been off program for a year and sad to say, gained 21 of my 59 pounds back!! I feel so bad and need a restart. I do still workout and drink water only but not on top of good proteins and veggies. Need some support as I have friends who had the surgery a year after me and they are almost at goal and I feel like a failure. HELP!!

Yes, it will get better and you will feel more like yourself in a month or so. Don't give up - you've done the hard part already!!

I too have that feeling from time to time and I am 5 months post-op. I think it's scare tissue forming and our bodies are letting us know it. Hope I'm right but if you're really concerned, call your doctor.

Welcome to the club! Good group of friends here to help

I am in onederland!! I never thought I'd get here and am soooooooo happy!

I also loss a large amount of hair - 3 months out. I went to my hairdresser and she washed my hair with Nioxin and the next morning I noticed a huge difference! My hair has also become dry and I keep oil spray on it to help with that. Good luck everyone who is suffering!!

Don't let your fears take over. That is what the forum is for! Congrats on your success!

I wore a dress last night 4 sizes smaller than when I started. I was very uncomfortable that people were going to think I looked bad. My friends and family said I looked wonderful. My dad said it was the best outfit he had seen me in in years! I felt exposed and couldn't enjoy the evening. Will this continue to happen with every new size?

Exercising has always been fun for me but today I went back to Zumba, after months being gone, with almost 40 less pounds and it was WONDERFUL!! I was able to do the whole hour and didn't feel as if I was beaten up or completely out of breath!!! I am so excited!!-

Welcome to the losing side! We're one big family

I always feel sad these days. Losing nicely so why the sadness?

My girlfriend gave me a throw as a housewarming gift that was so soft. It helped comfort me and keep me calm. I didn't think of it and was pleasantly surprised that it did the trick! I was cold for so long and I didn't want a bunch of blankets on me so this was perfect!! I had the worst time with salty things. Everything tasted salty and I didn't want to go near it, like soup.

I was a little afraid when the anesthesiologist told me he was giving me the same drug that killed Michael Jackson - didn't know if that was humor or truth.... didn't matter after he gave it to me as I was so HAPPY!! Great drug whatever it was - LOL
