Congrats on all your hard work and weight loss.

I'm a sleeve. I can consume more food years out. Some things to try years out from surgery.

pouch reset. Its going back to liquids and progressing back out to real food. For some, it works. For others, liquids cause more hunger and sabotage getting back into healthy habits. The sensation of restriction can be short lived.

logging food and staying within your weight loss calories and macros. (Just because you can consume more food years out, does not mean that you must)

Join a weight loss challenge to stay on track and support.

Dealing with hunger:

  • Eat as much vegetables as you like with your Protein until full. The bulk and Fiber are low calorie and will help with hunger
  • Keep heathy sweet and salty items on hand
  • Clear your house of temptation. (Carbs and sugar can make you to crave them more)
  • Real whole food will keep you more satisfied. Shakes/bars are good when you are busy or emergency food, Liquids and bars go right through my stomach and never keep me full.

Dang congrats on your success and marriage!

You can do this! Finish the race you started!!! You have to dig deep to remember the drive you had in the beginning. The hunger for your goal is still there, but you may be giving in and rationalizing now that you can do so many more fun things and feel so much better about yourself?

Like the advice before this, try to go back to the portions you were told to eat for life...1cup? 1 1/4cups? Whatever that is--measure and log everything!!! I'd go back to super low carb/lower cals...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
