I'm down from 354 to 295 and Ive been craving junk food and I've caved in. Ive also stretched my stomach out a bit and I need advice on how to get back on track.

Congrats on the ~60pounds of weight loss! As someone who is 30 days post op, I might not be the best but so far keeping track of EVERYTHING I eat and all exercise I am doing makes the most sense for me. I can stop and go nope, no room for that today try tomorrow.

I use a Fitbit HR and a Fitbit scale to track movement, weight, and BMI. I use 'My Fitness Pal' app, and log my food. Best part is the Fitbit gear will all integrate with the app, so all the measures are right there.

I had a one week stent where I was eating ~500 calories a day and not losing weight. It was very unnerving. BUT, my body fat percentage was creeping down steadily so that kept me sane. Then one day, boom two pounds off and plateau was over. Go back to basics.

@@kxylxmxrie You left a lot out of your post, like how far out you are from surgery, what you are eating, how much exercise you are doing, whether your meeting your Protein and Water goals....

I sincerely doubt that you have stretched your stomach. It's natural to gradually be able to eat more food in one sitting as you heal. I can certainly eat more now at almost 17 months post-op than I could at 2 months post-op or even 6 months post-op. But I still have considerable restriction and as long as I eat the RIGHT things, putting protein first, I still fill up on very little food. How much can you eat at one time right now and WHAT are you eating right now?

Why not make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals and strategies to get back on track?

Do a six day carb detox. Yes it is hard. Yes it is a pain in the butt. But it will get you back on track!

First two days: eat dense, lean protein, green veggies, and small amounts of healthy fats. You can eat as much as you want. Don't drink anything with calories. No, not even protein shakes.

Next two days: eat the exact same way, as much as you want, but weigh everything you eat and track it on MyFitnessPal. Religiously!

Last two days: eat the exact same way but confine yourself to three meals and three snacks. Keep tracking on MyFitnessPal.

After that, gradually add in dairy, eggs, small amounts of fruit, nuts, and beans. Continue to avoid grains, starchy veggies, refined sugar, and liquid calories. Set a reasonable targets on MFP for your daily calories, carbs, and protein. Keep tracking your intake.

Good luck!
