I need to do a reset... I've added about 18lbs since my surgery 5 years ago and I need tips and encouragement!

I am in the same boat. What can we do to help each other? I am way off track! Help!!

Would it work to go back to the basics of eating 600-800 calories/day, getting in 60 g of protein, 64 oz of water? Maybe two week liquid diet to get started?

Hi all!! Ok here's what I'm thinking!! I really liked the LOSE IT APP... And want to also get back to the basics. Carbs and sweets have been my weakness!! So let's get back to that strictly protein and the 4oz we're supposed to have... Or do you know of a bariatric eating app?? We could use that! What are your thoughts esskay77 and Gradycat!!

I'd just go back to basics (and not all the way back to liquids only - that would just set me up for a binge). Protein-forward and low carb. Eat (dense) protein first, then non-starchy veggies, and then if you have room, a small serving of fruit or whole grains. I can eat up to 1700 calories a day and maintain my weight, so if I'm trying to lose, I'll drop down to below 1500. I'm not sure if I could do 800 anymore (I could while I was losing, but it would be tough now for more than a day or two)

Going down to such low calories scares me a bit but I do need to scale back.

I'm thinking of doing the official pouch re-set 5-day diet to see what happens. I did it once but it didn't seem to have too much value but maybe trying it again isn't so bad.

I did stop tracking my food so maybe I need to do that again, too.

I started that yesterday. Tracking and really watching

how is it going? Are you doing just liquid?
