I have been eating really bad for the last week and I’m now discouraged ? how can I clean my system and start over. I was sleeved April first and has only 54 lbs (I been at 245 for almost 2 months now) and I know I should be down more than that. I really wanna make this sleeve work the way it’s supposed to so I’m willing to start over but don’t know if I have messed it up

You don't need to 'clean your system.' Just return to plan, and stay with it.

Think of it this way, if you are walking a mile and trip and fall after 1/4 mile, you don't need to go back to the starting line. You just get back up and resume walking.

Good luck,

Tek

You just have to give yourself grace and keep trying. We all know it’s not easy but the good news is two weeks did not stretch out your sleeve. Your tool will still work, you just have to stick to your plan and let it work for you.

The first thing to do is ask yourself, what are my triggers? Then work to resolve them. What makes you get off of your plan? Find out what your triggers are, then resolve to get back to your plan.

If it's cravings that are driving you mad, try and find bariatric friendly versions of your favorite junk foods. Just make sure to measure out your portions. There's nearly a bariatric friendly version of just about any food these days, many of which taste just as good as "the real thing."

Good luck! You've got this! ❤️

I’m going through a “get back to plan” moment too. I’m just focusing on one day at a time. I started by making sure I drank my water. If I drank my water I was on plan. Then I refocused on protein and measuring. Then if I could do that, I was on plan. Lastly, I had to track my food intake. If I was tracking I was on plan. It took about a week to resort myself but it’s working. I realized I was just tired of the healthy lifestyle I had been following for a solid year. I went to yoga and meditated about my intentions and checked in with myself. The Halloween candy seriously made my knees hurt and caused my asthma to wheeze again. The struggle is real. I’m just getting through this lifetime of healthy choices moment by moment, day by day. It’s a little overwhelming to think farther than that. You will get back to plan when you are ready. Start with one thing.
