I was sleeved 2/18/14. My starting weight was around 300, Day of surgery 278 and I dropped down to 198. However, I have been taking care of my dad and working a lot lately and have completely falling off but I don't know how. My weight has jumped to near 230 since February. I'm sooooo depressed. I need help bad.

The advice I always see here is to get back to basics. Start logging your food and make sure you are adhering to healthy choices. Get your fluids in also. You can do this! Good luck!! We are here for support!

Thank you! Last week, I started over from day. This week I'm doing soft foods. I pray this works I'm determined to drop 60

It seems like you have mildly slipped into old habits as a reaction to stress. It was stress and PTSD that contributed to my morbid obesity in the first place. Since surgery, I have strengthened my awareness and learned coping strategies through support groups like OA and my cognitive behavioral therapy group. I use to see a therapist, but find the group settings to be more effective.

Getting back to basics will help you physically, but you need to have a set of proactive tools or strategies that will help you mentally. You can do it!

YOU CAN DO IT!

you have a whole team of us behind you!
