5 years out and trying to get back on track



Recommended Posts

5 years ago I laid on the table and had life changing surgery! I was sleeved. And I felt renewed. I got down to 138 by my birthday in December I looked and felted wonderful. I ended up at 142-145 and was ok with that . Life took me for a ride and now for the past year I’ve put on 20 pounds I know where I went wrong the hardest part is support and getting mentally back on track if you have any advice I’m open

Get back to focusing on your Protein first and staying away from the unnecessary sugars. You got this. Easier to do it now then let it go longer.

Thank you for your answer! Do you have to remember the measurements how many ounces of Protein each meal I know it’s a cup of food which is a challenge now lol but I can’t find my diet plan! I know everyone is different

At this point since your so far along, i would just try to give yourself a daily calorie intake you want to hit. then base your meals off of that, and Protein first. If you stay under your calories for the day, regardless of what you eat, you should lose and then maintain the desired weight. I would say 1500 calories a day, but maybe you want to get with a nutritionist and have them reevaluate your BMR.

      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! 😞
