1. hydration

2. Protein

3. NO Sugar - not just reduced No sugar

4. No simple carbs - that's ALL the highly refined foods you find in the center of the store.

5. Get your carbs from veggies

6. While you are gaining weight no fruit - in moderation if your losing weight

7. no Snacks after dinner

Don't eat anything marked low fat - when fat is removed sugar is added to make it taste good.

All of the above are goals they are not all or nothing. the closer you get to each goal the easier the weight will come off.

good luck and welcome back

Hi there
I'm new to WLS so I still attend support groups and here's what they say to consider about regain:

How much have you regained?

Have you changed your habits? (Eating, exercise, sleep, work, etc.)

Any new medical issues or life changes?

Have you seen your Primary or Surgeon recently?

I've also heard some chatter that something happen around year 3-4 that are unavoidable that prompt weight gain (idk the validity I'm 6 months out)
But take a strong honest look at yourself then seek MEDICAL ADVICE from your Medical team first
And you totally got this ... Again

This is very helpful and inspiring. I am having a similar problem at 18 months out. All of the advice shared here has reinvigorated me. Thanks to all.@jhawkinsrice - I'm with you and know that we both can do this!
