I have been thinking about this and some of my thoughts may help you as they have helped me. I began to realize that I have punished myself for years with my weight. The message was that I didn't deserve to loose weight or have a flattering image. It takes some time to learn to love yourself. My daughter had the weight loss surgery done a year ago, and I watched her as she lost and began to get her old self back. I thought I could do it myself, so I started dieting with the help of a nutritionist. She suggested a small plate, sitting down and eating without other disturbances so I could concentrate on eating alone, and eating a plate with 1/4 Protein, 1/4 fruit, and 1/2 vegies. I lost 30 pounds, down from an all time high of 215. Time passed, and I concentrated less and less on loving myself enough to be healthy for me, and I began to gain the weight back. I went back up to 200. The depression was self hate and the message was one of failure. I wallowed in this for a bit, and then I decided that Portion Control was the important thing here. I had gastric sleeve done 8/15/16, and now am working through those first few weeks of new stomach syndrome.
The thing I am learning is that I can never again go back to the depression. Depression is like a light on your dash board that is bright red. It is a message that you are failing yourself. It is a call to action. My daughter says that she sees this as a reset. You have to reset your way of thinking about yourself. Concentrate on loving yourself. This does not mean to feed yourself with forbidden foods. Think about the way that you feed a child. If it would not be good for a baby, it certainly does not need to go into my mouth. See restricting as a form of self love. People gain weight on some antidepressants, but some like Welbutrin actually have the side effect of weight loss. See your doctor. The person that prescribed something that makes you gain weight is not your friend.
You can do it. Sit back and think about what you have already done. What an amazing thing you have done already. I think all you really need to do is to develop a plan to reset your weight loss. Go back to basics. See that Dr. that has done you wrong and straighten them out. You need people surrounding you with help and love. You might need a make-over. You do deserve to loose the weight. Remember that the depression is nothing more than a message. Get the message, and do something about changing your direction. Once you change the direction, you will move toward happiness and go back to your just after surgery diet. You know that works for you. Keep your eye on the prize!

I talked to the nutritionist about Protein. She said 60 - 70 grams per day. My question is, if this becomes absorbed by the small intestine, how much do you need daily before you absorb that much? I am also interested in vitamine absorption. How much do you take in order for your body to get what it needs. Help

I know how depressing this is. My heaviest was 215. I lost 30 pounds and then gained back 15. I felt hopeless as I have had this yo yo syndrome for most of my life. I then start the negative tape: I am hopeless, I can not do this, if I were just better, stronger, more motivated, etc. We all know the drill here. This was when I decided to do surgery. So far I am doing better, have lost more than the 15 re-lost pounds. I feel that I am committed but - well, it is a fear. I am beginning with solid food and am trying to get that down. I don't want to stretch my stomach back to what it was. I think if I were you I would go back to the "re-set" where you are doing Clear liquids only, and then you start adding back solids. One good thing is that I have learned that it is easier to lose the pounds the sooner you address it, and stop putting roadblocks in your path. My daughter told me to remember that it is like feeding a baby inside of you.

Well done. What insurance are you on? Who is the carrier

I am just beginning here. I am looking at pre-measured portions. I don't want to stretch out my stomach. I need to stay away from things like sugar, fats, etc. Nutritionist says Greek Yogurt has more Protein than regular. I guess this is look for high Proteins with adding of some vegetables. Help me take this step to success.

I had my surgery 8/15. I am having some issue with the whole social eating thing. Now when my wife eats around me, I do realize that I watch her like a puppy watches a toddler. The smells and sight of what she is eating - wow! How do you get around that?
