You posted on may 13th Many gave advice on your thread titled “overeating after gastric sleeve”

I hate the work failed. You are struggling with the disease of obesity. No need to beat yourself down for having a disease....Right?

Many of us have different risk factors and issues to overcome. Surgery does not change are old behaviors. If you are struggling with staying on plan for two days, you may want to find a counselor or therapist to help you battle the mental side of weight loss.

Many gave advice on diet, stretching, and staying on plan. So, I won’t give you information you already have. I do understand how emotional it is to have regain. You’re not alone.

We all have a relationship with food that is not normal. The best book I have read is "Mindful Eating" by Jan Chozen Bays, MD

Hi, I'm sry to hear that you are upset about gaining weight after gastric sleeve surgery. But I thought gastric sleeve can cure obesity permanently. I searched on Google and I saw this image:

As I know in gastric sleeve surgery they remove part of the stomach and it helps patients to eat less and gain less weight. so is this surgery a temporary solution and each person should diet after surgery again?

In this case, what's the advantage of these weight loss surgeries?

Hi newbie,

Regain is not one simple answer for people that experience it. Have compassion. Learn from the stories and experiences of everyone here.

For people reading this thread and are new or researching surgery. Regain does not happen to all of us. follow this link to positive outcomes for a balanced perspective of weight loss surgery.

Have you had your pre op class yet? Surgery is only a tool. You must do the work. This is not the easy way out. Surgery restriction alone will not keep you successful long term.

Thank you Healthy_life2 for the complimentary response.

I thought If you do these surgeries you can't eat like before and it helps you to not gain back weights. I didn't know patients must still have a specific diet to maintain their surgery results.

5 day pouch reset may be a good restart for some. Good advice.

Some other things to think about.

It doesn't adress the the mental side of staying on plan. It also may be too restrictive if you are years out, have extra sleeve space and are trying to trouble shoot hunger. Many options to look at. some do Keto. Intermittent fasting, vegan. It may be some trial and error to find what works.

Trouble shooting extra sleeve space. I eat dense Protein and other foods on my plan. I eat as much veggies as I want until full. I log to make sure I stay within my weight loss calorie and macros

Years out weightloss calories may have to be dialed in specifically to find a point that you're body goes into weight loss mode. Years out 600 to 800 may not be realistic. Its not realistic for me personally.

Calories macros are not same numbers for each of us. It can be dialed in specifically for an individual.

Weight loss Is not as simple as a one size fits all.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
