Hello everyone.....I need some help to get me back on track....I'm half way to my goal and I'm at a stand still with my weight loss....I'll admit that I have had a potato chip here and there and a few pieces of candy....how do I get back after falling off the wagon....I want to continue with my progress but I feel so lost and defeated and I know that this is something that I'm doing to myself....give me some advice and encouragement pleeeese!!!

Have you tried logging? Keep a log of everything that you eat and drink, good and bad, and your exercise. I used to also have a log that tracked moods/stressors. This might help you to be more cognizant of what and when you are eating and the accountability should help you get back on track. Good luck to you!

Google the "5 Day Pouch Test" and follow the instructions. It will rid you of the carb monster, and get you back on track.

It was designed for RNY patients, but I know tons of sleeve patients that use it to get back track.

You can do it ! ! !

I would suggest taking it one day at a time. Plan your food in the morning, log it into myfitnesspal. com and then do your best to stick to the plan.

Go back to basics of Protein first, don't drink with meals and stay away from slider foods. You really do know what to do. If your doctor gave you a food plan, get it out and start it again.

Tiffy gave you a great suggestion of the 5 day pouch test.

Don't forget your Water, Vitamins and exercise!

Thanks guys....I started the 5 day pouch test yesterday and I really feel better already...not craving carbs or anything so I am hanging in there, not giving in because I went through too much to have this surgery and I am determined to make it work for me.

Tiffy, you should really consider writing a book or something....you always have the answers....seriously!!!!

When I want something carby, I try to have protein, like some jerky or string cheese, first and that usually takes it away.

Tiffy, please write that book! I'd be first in line to snap it up!
