I'm in the pureed food portion of my post-op diet and I notice that I'm gaining some weight back. I admit that I have been messing up a lot with my eating choices. I'm struggling with balancing the things I'm supposed to be doing. I'm supposed to eat 5 small meals a day of 1/4 cup portions, drink a protein shake, drink water and take my vitamins.

I'm not drinking the protein shake, I don't eat until later in the day, I'm not making healthy food choices when I do eat, I cant seem to slow my eating down to 15 minutes.

Does anyone have any ideas to help me or words of wisdom/support?

Go back to basics! you know what you are doing wrong. That is the first step, the second step is to go back to what works, and the 3rd step is to follow through. You got this!

Yes , take full advantage of this honeymoon phase. Follow your surgeons plan. It’s not always the easiest but it IS the best and you will NEVER get this opportunity window back. Once the honeymoon is over, it’s OVER. My friends brother told her something that is pretty profound and I use it often now. Paraphrasing but, “ losing weight is hard. Being fat is hard. Pick your hard” Good luck!! It IS hard but use this time wisely. And I totally agree, you GOT this ??

“Rock like a geologist”!!! I LOVE that!!! Way to go! You can DO THIS ??????

having bariatric surgery is sort of a last resort. Don't blow it. Stick to your program.

Be true to your newly installed Weight Loss "tool", it will not let you dow,

Down , D-o-w-n, my semi- smart phone just decided that last line was too long so the n was sneakily deleted.

Try to stay away from any "pureed" foods that contain sugar or other carbs like Applesauce, etc. Get a Ninja and puree fresh produce and lean proteins and you'll be good to go. Also, make sure your yogurts and snacks are as fat and calorie free as possible.

Thanks for all the support! I am going to do much better now

Find what works for you. Try to make small changes. If all else fails try using this. It's what I do.. gives me a good idea of what and what not to put in my body.
