Looking for others with the same struggle. Please help! I started my journey at 242 lbs. I had sleeve April 2018. My lowest weight was 193 lbs. Today I weigh 211.6 lbs. I feel horrible and so discouraged. No energy. Why cant i get motivated and stay motivated. I know all the right things to do, but just can't stick with it. Just completed the Noom program offered by work. Great program as long as you follow it!!!! Do I have to be 700lbs before the light turns on in my brain??????

Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

All I know, is that this journey took 100% commitment for me to change my behaviors with food. Because of my personality, there really isn't such a thing as "everything in moderation." Even in maintenance, where I give myself the weekend to be semi-indulgent, I find it's much easier to do my normal daily thing that I do through the week, then have a small indulgent dinner. But that's in maintenance--not during WLM.

When I was in WLM, I did have to keep my cals in the 600-750 range for losing. I concentrated on eating super nutritionally dense, low calorie, low fat, low carb foods and eating lean dense Protein forward, with very low glycemic veggies on the end of the meal.

I would seriously suggest working with a bariatric counselor to work on your food issues. Sorry you're struggling. You might start by filling out your stats so we can see how far you've come and what operation you had at a glance.

Same as Fluffy - You can not go at this half ass! Read my post on the Colossal F#$ck up i did post op. I refocused and jammed it out. I say this all the time and most will agree - The surgery is a tool, You must get your head together and your plan to use the tool.

I made it simple for myself F@#ck Food! Once i make T-shirts i will send you one. Not trying to make light of it but if you really take the two letter phrase and ignore, stop obsessing. and focus on be healthy - There is no choice but to loose weight. You have the tool now use it properly

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
