Feeling like a failure

[taylorfulfer 20]

I had VSG surgery on 8/23/17 so I am about 5 months out and now 58 pounds down. 30 of those pounds came off within the first few weeks. I feel like now Im slipping into bad habits because I am unmotivated. I still eat small portions and get full quickly but not losing. Is it too late for me to get back? Did I mess up royally? I haven’t moved in a couple weeks and I’m really frustrated.

Any tips for getting back on the losers Bench? I don’t want this to be the end of my journey when I’m still heavy.

Keep a food journal of everything you consume.

Try to keep calories under 1200.

Try to keep Protein over 60g

Try to exercise daily.

Try to have patience and understand that stalls are normal.

Is there hope to lose again?

Of course there is! You're only 5 months out:)

From all I've read the first 12-18 months is when u will lose the most because the body hasnt for used to its changes and metabolism. So u still have time to get back on track and achieve the goals. Start using the myfitnesspal to track yur food. And exercise as much as possible. I feel the same way I'm 4 mos post and 40-50 lbs from my goal weight. It takes dedication and hard work , I've learned it's nothing to just magically lose on its own after the initial first month.

No ... do the reset diet.

And do it ASAP.

I struggle with my mind wanting to eat because its a bad habit even though im not hungry. Im about 2 months postop and it scares me sometimes that im already steuggling with this. Even tho the food i eat is healthy i want to get to a place that my thoughts arent so focused on “what can i eat?” What i have noticed that has really helped me is improving in firness goals. Im training for a 5k and i can really see the improvement each week. Also ive had fun experimenting with different healthy recipes. Hope we can both stay on track!
