Your not the first person that has experienced a gain.

I'm sure you are frustrated. Reality , Any one of us can gain.
Have you contacted your surgeons office/dieticain? They may have some good advice on getting back on track and ruling out medical issues. Counseloing/therapy is an option to fight the mental side of weight loss.
You already know your baraitric plan. Time to put it into acction before 210 becomes 240, 260 or 300
- Get rid of temptation food and go shoping for healthy whole foods. Get healthy options for sweet and salty cravings.
- Being off plan your body is used to the extra calories carbs and sugars. You will feel crappy as you detox off them and get your body back in to weight loss mode. Embrace the suck! it will get better once you are consistant and back in your weight loss zone
- Log and weigh your food,
- hydrate and exercise.
We also have a group weight loss challenge. Its a good way to support each other as we lose weight

Are you using baritastic or myfitnesspal as a log?

It's hard. But you let them go.
Oh yes, I wore black as my everyday uniform. 🙂 Soon you will be filling your closet with new clothing and new colors for spring/summer. Your sizes will be dropping quickly. Buy at discount stores and thrift stores until your weight settles.

I drink jasmine tea in the morning. Before bed, lavender chamomile with a bit of unsweetened cashew milk. The smell and taste is comforting.

Congrats on your surgery date. This is exciting, You will be on the other side of your sleeve and losing weight in days!
Sounds like the standard diet progression. 48 hour liquids to shrink the liver pre surgery. Liquids, puree,soft foods, as you heal from surgery. Then onto real foods. You can do this!

Be prepared, SO much variation on post-op diets as well. They vary massively from 500 calories until you get to goal to no restrictions at all.
I want to know what the long term success rates are.

22 hours ago, MissTimeIsUp said:Need to do some introspection and figure out the root cause of not being satisfied. Was it an emotional void that you were unable to satisfy? Is it because you aren't getting enough nutrition from your diet? Remember, calories are not all created equal. 200 calories from a bagel will not make you near as full as 200 calories from fresh fish and fruit. Look up Dr. Vuong on youtube. Tons of information to help you.
FYI Dr Vuong. Note Alex Breacher (founder of this site) knows him personally
I know Dr. Vuong for over a decade. He is a very nice and entertaining guy who IMHO gives out so-so medical and surgical advice. He bounced around from practice to practice and has never been able to make it as a bariatric surgeon.

Your Weight loss is Dr Supervised. You can call him with any concerns. He can diagnose if anything is wrong. . Your sleeve restriction will become less over time. you will be able to consume more calories and the weight loss is slower.

To his patients.
I'm not intending on making you feel negative about your surgeon's instructions. I apologise if this thread offends anyone. I'm just concerned.

41 minutes ago, Bluebird_ said:To be strict or to be lax in this process is a personal choice. We are all adults and make are own food choices. The only one that has to be happy with your weight loss is you.
Maintaining : I indulge once in a while. If it causes weight gain, I go back to bariatric food plan to get the weight off. Weight loss mode: I was consistent not perfect. I had slips and got right back on plan.
We do have a cheats thread that shows you Yes, people eat foods that are off plan. I'm a bit conflicted about the thread.
Things to think about in going off plan or indulging once in a while:
- Adding carbohydrates and sugar makes you crave them more. It takes time to detox and get back on plan
- your first few months is your best weight loss. You also have your golden year. Weight loss is harder after your first year( still can be done)
- Monitor if indulging is slowing your weight loss down. Will it make getting to your goal take more time?
- WIll indulging become habit? Every weekend? Every month?
- How solid are you in behavior change? Going off plan can be a slippery slope for some.
- With the sleeve, you will get to a point that you noticeably can consume more food as your restriction becomes less.
- What has made people successful 2 years + out

1 hour ago, fightinengineer said:Agreed plateau is the wrong word completely, I’m in maintenance which terrifies me because I really do not want to regain. My NUT keeps telling me I eat too little but honestly I doubt that is true. I think I’m missing some calories somewhere and my micros are skewed. Back to basics I guess. I also need to add some more exercise.
Thanks all.You got this!
Maintaining calories /weight loss calories are not as simple as a one size fits all. I had to dial in what works for my body physiology.

You have Dr, David N Dyer and other surgeons at Centennial Medical Center. TN advertised on your site.
Have you ever seen instructions of 500 calories until you lost 75% of your weight??? I thought this was a mistake. But here is the surgeons instructions that patients are following.

How did you do on 500? Was it realistic and sustainable ?

I'm also concerned.

Good that you have insite after looking at your own macros. Dialing in your diet gets frustrating, right?
After you change up your diet. Let us know if things change
If there is no change - 1221+ seems to be your maintaining calories. An option to try. Dial your daily calories to 1100 for two months consistently to see if this puts your body in weight loss mode.
Ugh ! I hope you see the scale moving soon:-)

This is just an observation talking with people over the years. Many of us have eatting disorders pre surgery. It's not suprising to find some have them post surgery.
