Recommended Posts

congrats ashleyxx.

I have abt 10-15 lbs. of regain which leaves me with 75 lbs to loose.

I plan to try the 5:2 plan to regain control and squash the carb cravings.

Thanks guys, a lot of times it gets me down thinking I have still a lot to lose. I will honestly say I think it's harder now then when we were newly sleeved since we can eat more, and the "honey moon phase" is over. I wish all that are struggling the best of luck.

I am a year out ...lost 102pounds...need to lose atleast another 60pounds to be at goal...

It used to upset me that most of my co sleevers are at goal and in maintainence already...but 102 is hugeeee just 60 more to go...so instead of sulking i am hopping right on the 5.2 bandwagon!!!

Go, Girl! You can do it!

All of you can. 5:2 will give you structure again and help you feel a sense of purpose. I lost 27 pounds in 3 months of regain and truly feel like I wouldn't have been able to get back on track otherwise.

Good luck ladies! Keep in mind that Georgia is the wonder woman of losing! But others who are super slow and long stall losers (like me) are also losing on the 5:2. If you use it, the weight will come off. Most of us using it do keep the calories down on feast days as well... not to TDEE, so maybe 1100-1600 range for most. It also offers flexibility for celebration for off days, and maintenance. Keep us informed! We can be your cheerleaders if you like.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
