I'm freaking out

I got surgery 5 months ago and I feel like my stomach has grown more than it should've due to consuming sugar... I think, I still can't eat as much as I want to, but definitely a little bit more since 2 months after surgery. I feel like I'm losing control. I weighed 260 lbs before surgery and now I'm 209 lbs, I feel like I haven't lost as much as I'm supposed to.

yeah

You don't need to do any type of cleanse. If you take down the sugar. And go back to dense protein you will really feel the restriction. Your tummy won't feel bigger if you say had some steak. But would with slider food. Just go back to basics and continue on. I'm on holiday so I am worrying Bout not losing as can't weigh food. Just eating proteins and tiny amount of veg doesn't allow for.me to over eat. You got this. What is your Daily eating like

What is a protein shake cleanse

I probably used the wrong term but if you do the same diet you did the first week out of sugery shakes only your stomach tends to shrink back


Or you can go back to dense protein and veg. Im sure your stomach hasnt stretched. But you won't feel the same level of restriction with sweet carby things as you will with protein. Steak, chicken, Turkey, fish. Green veggies, beans. All good filling things. I guarantee you won't feel hungry after a couple oz of chicken.

The minute I eat sugar I want more and at 6 months Out i can tolerate it. I agree with other posters. Count your macros. Most days I get 85 G protein and under 40 g carbs and 40 g fat. It has worked well for me.

Doing some light exercise. Pilates a few times per week. But I am more energetic and active. I use an app called Baritastic. Definitely consider using it.
