18 months since I had my sleeve surgery. I'm struggling cause I have gained some weight back and it's depressing. Anyone else struggling?

Oh yeah, we all do at some point. You're not alone. I'm 2 years post VSG and I've gained 10-12 lbs. Working on getting it back off plus a few more. Going back to basics of measuring portions to 1/2 cup or less and 70 g of protein and 64 oz of water. Keeping calories between 600-800. It's working so far. I'm very motivated. I'm getting too old to keep going through this yo-yo cycle. Starting dancing around the house today with headphones and iPod to get some cardio because it's too cold to walk outside. You can do this!

I regained most of the weight I lost following the VSG. One mistake I made was to incorporate protein shakes into my daily nutrition. Non-processed food would have been more nutritious. The pre-op liquid diet was so effective that I used liquid meal substitutes long term. It wasn't satisfying, fulfilling, or sustainable.

I had a revision to modified DS this year and improved my nutrition. Everything worked out better this time.

Go back to tracking, as well as measuring.
