Hi! I had my surgery in December 2016, starting at 215, but I’ve only dropped to 170. While I’m THRILLED with the results, I feel as though I should be at goal now. But, I’ve only started exercising the past month.

Honestly, I “relapsed” on bad habits and I cannot for the life of get back on track. I almost feel complacent since I still look and feel so much better. Would like to drop 20 more.

Any advice for me to get back on gear with eating? I think part of my problem has not been getting NEARLY the protein I should (just the past month). Still, this surgery was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Thanks!

Two months post op .. I was just to my NUT for last visit .. I have been same weight for bout month .. per NUT not enough protein drinks .. I get gout from them .....going to have to get them in

I've not experienced this, but I've seen many vlogs on this subject on Youtube. Try the preop liquid diet for 2weeks to reset your cravings & tastebuds. This should also jump start your weight lost again. Here is my preop: 4 PREMIER protien shakes a day & 1 meal (meats & veggies only) max daily intake 1100 calories? Also be sure to keep your bowels moving constipation interferes with weight loss & DRINK PLENTY OF WATER & TAKE YOUR VITAMINS[emoji41]

1100 is quite a lot for a female in the weightloss phase I personally think. But clearly its working for you as you've lost a lot! Amazing

You've done tremendously.

I only eat meat veg and cheese eggs. Protein shake for breakfast keeps me satsatisfied and I get no cravings now. This is just what I feel like eating. Stalls are normal but not had one in awhile.

Thnx, the above was my preop diet per my surgeon, doing the preop for 2 weeks has shown effective for breaking a long stall & dealing w/ cravings. I haven't experienced a long stall, but suggested it after reading the original post.

I have noticed I tend to graze all day which leads to higher calorie intake and a stall. If I go back to purposeful eating - three meals and 2-3 snacks I have been successful in getting back on track. Let my tool do what's it's designed to!

Yes. I was told at my support group last night that lots of water helps to flush the fat out of our system as we lose weight.

I know I drifted the last few weeks to cereal and chips. I went this week and bought eggs and protein shakes and protein crisps to eat instead. I know I need to get to the gym also. Need to set a date for that.
