I am 2.5 years out from sleeve surgery and have gained 21lbs. I had lost 109 lbs in that time and now I have gotten comfortable. It’s almost like I’ve forgotten all of my “rules”. With the holidays here and all holiday parties that have been this month...I have felt OUT OF CONTROL! I know I have the will power inside me (because of everything I had to do to get to this point) Where do I start? I am eating more and more often than I should. Anyone have any pointers to get back to the lifestyle?
I also had a gain in my 3rd year. Here are some things to try. (just suggestions)
Where to start?
Start now or on Jan 1st 2018 for new years! You can get the weight back down to maintain. Weight loss is slower as you get further out from surgery.
Weight loss takes work. We have two choices. Go through the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
Get back to the rules (bariatric basics)
log food
hit calorie ,protein goals and low carb (whatever your surgeons plan is)
drink lots of Water
exercise
If basics are not working this is something to try:
Goto the TDEE calculator below
https://tdeecalculator.net/
It will calculate your calories, Protein and carbs based on your sex, height, weight, and activity level. (don't enter body fat)
click [CALCULATE]
This will give you your maintenance calories on the top right. Scroll down to macro nutrients
You will see three tabs [maintaining] [cutting] bulking]
Click [CUTTING]
It will show your cutting/weight loss calories
Below you will see three macorutien boxes with three carbohydrate ratios
Start with the low carb macros. Set these new macros into your food log app (myfitnesspal)
it will take dialing in your macros to see what point your body starts to lose weight. (I had to set my exercise level on step below my real activity level to get macros for my body to lose weight loss)
Merry christmas!
