I am new here. I am looking for support and friends that are in the same weight loss surgery boat! I was sleeved in Aug 2016. I have lost very slowly and actually have gained 19 pounds. I take a medication that causes weight gain (although my dr. says it is unknown as to why it causes gain) and I am struggling with eating when I am not hungry and don't exercise at all anymore. I really need to be on top of all the things (eating every 2-3 hrs, staying off the sweets, drinking enough water, eating enough protein, exercising) I need to do even more so as the meds make it additionally hard to loose. I don't have any friends who've had wls and the support here is lacking. I am so concerned that I will not be able to loose any more...yet, I know that I am not doing what I need to do in order to loose. Anyone out there had any success while being on meds that make it difficult to loose or far too easy to gain?...or have any other advice? Thanks.

Oh PoMo , i am without a doubt the very last person who should be answering your post.

All the advice you seek is in your post.

dont eat every 2-3 hours

cut out the sugars

increase protein

increase water

add exercise

after the surgery it is all a mental game and you have to commit to winning the mental game or the physcial one is lost.

Start by cutting out the sugars

then the refined carbs- if its located in the middle of a store it is not a good idea.

replace with protien

and start walking and dont stop. walk all the time as much as you can whenever you can.

drink water pls. If you have to add 0 calorie flavors to help.

Last - Dont Surrender

come back everyday and lets us know how you did and how far you walked and google wls support for you city and find a grp of local people going thru this so you can feel connected.

Just dont give up

Allwet....thank you so much for the encouragement, I really appreciate it.
