I haven't posted in a while, I moved back to New York in September and I am finally settling down ( a lot has been going on), before I left Arizona I went back to the Weightloss Institute where I pei ally got my band in 12/2013. After 2 years of not being able to afford fills I went back, found out I had kept 20lbs off, got a new EGD and was filled to my green zone.

Now that I am in NY and I have some food restriction I no longer have a surgeon to go to ( they seem to not want to take a patient who has already been touched lol) but that's okay, sometimes I throw up food if I am Careless so I know I have good restriction.

My point here is what do you guys eat? I enjoy meal prepping and I KNOW I have to get back to the gym I just need real life suggestions. I haven't found much helpful info on the Internet (post and pre op diets- I'm passed that) I can assume chicken and veggies, but I just want real life advise and experiences I have no one else in my life who has had wls. Please help, I'm sorry if the question is redundant, I'm just embarrassed that I've only lost 20lbs in 3 years.

-thank you

You're not a failure just got to Bellevue Hospital for weight loss help Google their we site

TREAT PPL WITH RESPECT

What are your favorite flavors and try and find high Protein low carb recipes to replace and still get a hint of the flavor you love. Don't drink your calories or overdue sweets and carbs. Perhaps drink only Protein shakes for a couple days why you plan your meals post protein shakes. It will keep you full and help you reset.

Hey,

Just keep on learning about weight loss. When I was losing weight and even now when I'm maintaining my weight, I avoid "white" foods. That means bread, Pasta, sugar, rice, flour etc. You need to make sure you feed yourself really well with nutritious foods. Use smaller portion sizes and try not to eat after 7pm or so. Keep at it. Keep learning and keep trying Everyone runs into roadblocks along the way.

Best wishes,

Heather

Thank you everyone! You guys are really nice and I appreciate it! Thanks for the advice
