Bad habits are hard to break



Recommended Posts

Soooo I was sleeved on June of the past year and so far I lost like 90 ish pounds and still have 90 to go but it's just so hard to stay on track. I guess I really was never was on track because I never did the Protein Shakes and just ate small amounts of whatever . And now my weight loss is at a halt for obvious reasons and I need to know how to get back on track ! Like I can't find a Protein Shake I like there's one I kinda can tolerate but it doesn't fill me ! I'm also losing like all my hair ...ugh the struggle is real here ! Any advice ?

Have you tried GNC whey Protein ...no flavor 24g per scoop. I use to put it with iced Decaf coffee, , :rolleyes:

I fell into the same thing. I worked hard to cut out most carbs not in a Protein bar or shake unless they were raw (fruits/veggies) and made sure to hit my Protein marks plus every day as well as Water. It's not easy and takes work but we knew when we started this wouldn't be easy. Also started incorporating more into my workouts. Just go back to basics and do what works best for you!

We got this!

You don't have to drink Protein shakes at this point. Especially since they are not filling to you. Instead get at least 60 gram of Protein through chewing food this will fill you up. Dense protein like chicken, tuna, lean pork chops, lean cuts of beef, turkey, shrimp etc. This is one thing my surgeon recommends is that once you get past soft foods, most of your nutrition should be from foods you chew not drink or even soft foods. This will make you feel fuller longer. I was eating alot of greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Protein drinks and that is what he recommended to me. Also remember the rule about not drinking 45 minutes before or after your food this will help with restriction. Lastly, if you don't already start tracking all you eat in my fitness pal. Best of luck.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
