I am 16 months out. I never made goal I still need to lose 40 pounds . My lowest weight was 173 in August. I had gained weight and was at 187 at my dr. Visit last week. Needless to say my surgeon challenged me to lose 10 pounds in two months. Told him I thouj my sleeve was broken. Turns out I have been grazing. I kept saying few snack won't hurt me. They have killed me and Im so mad at myself. I'm going to Paris in June and want to look fab.

This week went back to basics and have lost 6 pounds since monday. I have gone back to basics as everyone on here suggested and it works. 1 Protein shake in morning , greek yogurt for lunch. Lean protein for snack when get home from work. Additional lean protein around 7 pm. Also have gotten in all my Water something I never did before. Keeping my carbs at 20 grams and my protein at 90. I am so grateful. That I have this forum to see that I'm not alone on this journey

Awesome! It is amazing how going back to what worked...works!

Yest it was......I so happy and will be following plan

wow i could have written this post! I also started back with low carb and higher protein this week and the scale is moving again..I was sleeved in dec 2012 and still have 40 lbs to get off.

Thank you for sharing. I'm about the same distance out from surgery and hoping to get the scale moving in the right direction again. Your post is very encouraging!

SOrry im 31 months out on the 16th. EVEry one keep up the good work. Im up starving right now uggh..

@wifey I'm hungry all the time too. I'm 24 months out and after being programmed for the last couple of years to each 4-5 times a day. I feel like eating is all I do! I started prepping my food and freezing pre-portioned out so I can stick to better choices. I also have been upping my fluids in lieu of food.

u can do this. What I have done since my restart is to drink at least 36 oz of water before 11. That takes my hunger away. Also I drink protein shake around 11 or 12. Once I finish this I start back on my water. 64 oz by 2-3 pm. Then have my yogurt. When get home eat my 1 lean protein around 7 and drink more water. After the 3rd day u will be fine

I had some pounds creep back after the holidays and started swimming laps, but I would be starving afterwards, so I wasn't losing weight. Found out that cold stimulates appetite, so now I'm soaking in the jacuzzi after my swim and it seems to help keep the ghrelin down. Also upping protein and cutting carbs. Still working on it.

Very brave of you to go to the doctors. I'm avoiding mine.

Every other day I need to restart again. I have gotten a few good days in a row then fall off the clif. I weighed this morning and I'm at an all time high from my surgery on 8/2013. But I'm trying again this morning.

This is so close to what has worked so well for me in the past. And what I'm trying to get back to again. I usually eat two protein meals, 3pm and 6pm, then finish with a piece of fruit around 8pm. I try to keep all my eating between noon and 8pm. The timing is not as important. But the order I eat seems to be the biggest impact. Water, protein drink, water, yogurt and vitamins, water, protein and veg, water, protein and veg, fruit.

These are very great posts gaining 55 plds since last March is a real bummer I feel down all the time my body is so weak and I think i can do it but its been so so so hard to regain that positive energy I had in the beginning im still snaking at night

Sorry thats snacking at night i need to real get my life back I feel like a failure and that I went through all that pain and suffering for nothing. Today my best friend mom is intp surgery imma try and get on her diet to get these plds off I remember my first month I lost 37 plds
