I'm over 2 years out…Just had a couple of appointments with my doc. I have gained back 17 pounds and needed to get back on track.

She prescribed appetite suppressants - I lost 4 pounds quickly and now that I'm mostly recovered from gall bladder surgery, I've lost another 2 pounds.

She wants 80 grams of Protein - I realized, after tracking for a couple of days, I have been slacking on the Protein. In order to get to that number, I have 2 shakes. I didn't want to go back to shakes, but I had to.

Lastly, "exercise is not an optional activity" - you have to move your body.

Basically, it's back to basics.

Best of luck to you!

Starting over with the liquids can kind of "reset" you and break you out of some of the bad habits that may have crept back in. But it can be a drag too.

But I'd say get back to basics. Dust off that plan they gave you in the beginning. Protein, veggies, limit starches, get your Water and exercise and track. Be honest with yourself. That's the only way you'll know what you need to modify.

You can do it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
