I started with the seminar in July. they told me I needed to lose 5% of my weight b4 surgery. told me to start counting calories, 1200, watch fat 40 grams, limit carbs 30/60. Ok each day I logged what I ate - good or bad. I would not have been able to change how I ate if I didn't really see what I had been eating!

Start at the beginning log it all. It makes you so much more accountable. soon you will get back in the groove, doing what you did b4 pregnancy.

YOU did it once you can do it again. this is not a race, this is life. you want to be the healthiest momma ever!!!

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

I agree. Start a food journal and log everything. You'll be more conscious of the calories adding up. And drink lots of water!

I couldn't say first hand..but it would sound as if you need to take it from the beginning....including the post-op diet to re-train.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
