2021 Wrap up- Who's planning to refocus in 2022?



Recommended Posts

The end of 2021 is upon us! I can't believe how FAST this year went.

Anyone here planning to 'get on track', 'refocus', 'reset' etc in 2022?

I fell off the rails a bit in the last several months and looking to get myself back on track. I've been doing very traditional Keto level eating for the last 5 years but I would really like to go back to a more traditional 'bariatric' style eating with lower fat etc. Would like to keep my carbs low but really focus on Protein again and I honestly don't really remember what that would look like-having been so submerged in traditional keto for the last several years....

Anyone have any good resources for this? I never reached my ultimate goal (came within 20 lbs). Had a health scare and although it's under control I do have some weight that I would still like to move off.

I plan on refocusing in 2022...I have "bounced back" about 5 pounds over the holidays (so not too bad) but I have never reached my goal...I'm still about 20 pounds away. So I am going to focus on Protein, start tracking my food again and hit the gym. Fingers crossed!!

A bit more paleo then kedo Enter nuts fruit and sweet potato. I never was traditional kedo - yet my carb consumption has creeped a bit high Refocus is a great term. Let me know any resources you find. I read early on: Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success: A Practical Patient Guide To Help Maximize Your Weight Loss Results https://www.amazon.com/dp/0615830447/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_HVH19M6WYWWTSMY7M6SR

Yes, I'm bouncing back and refocusing. I gained some COVID weight in 2020 and 2021 and was embarrassed so I haven't been on this site, but I started doing Keto/Carnivore in September and lost all the COVID weight by Thanksgiving. The Carnivore diet was successful but was giving me chronic diarrhea so I switched in mid-December to Weight Watchers' new Personal Points program. Evidently I needed a few carbs to make things function properly. It's going well, I'm not losing weight as fast yet, but I haven't gained any. Focusing back on why I had the WLS in the first place and on my original goal weight for 2022. It's never too late to be healthy.

You were always such a lovely presence on this site, and you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Take it easy, and be kind to yourself :) Maybe you don't need to lose much to be at the weight your body wants to be at!

Refocus is a great word! I'm 2 years out today and remain at goal (down from high of 336 to 160ish...). I've been eating more processed carbs than I want and need to refocus before I see a creep up in my weight. My goal is Protein first, lots of veggies, and natural carbs including grains, veggies, fruits, etc...

I’m refocusing in 2022. Refocusing on my why and behaviors that helped in the past.

I’m back! I’ve recently committed to getting back to goal after my devastating gain back of 70 kilos. I’m still down 40 kilos from pre surgery weight so at least I don’t have to start again at least. I’m back on this site looking for tips from others who have regained and how they got back on track. I am targeting lean Protein, limiting carbs and being very strict I hope it feels natural again soon like it did the first time.

      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! 😞
