First, don't be too hard on yourself. You're only human, and part of being human is sometimes making mistakes even after making huge progress. You will get there again.

Second, I would highly recommend tracking your food with an app such as myfitnesspal. I'm betting you've done this before, but getting back to basics may be beneficial for you right now.

Are you seeing a therapist? Or maybe attending a support group? It sounds like you know what you're doing but just need a little help getting back on track. Check into both of those things if you aren't already. It can make a world of difference to have that extra support and accountability.

You'll get back to where you want to be! Be kind to yourself and remember why you've gone through all the hard work in the first place. Feel free to message me anytime if I can help at all, even just to lend an ear. I started above 400 pounds too. Good luck to you. :)

Congratulations on the weight loss.

@@Cervidae has given you some great advice.

I would also recommend you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
