How to get back on track :(



Recommended Posts

Surgery almost 6 years ago, Low weight was 201 (6'2, I looked liked a skeleton and hated it) body compensated and sat around 250, (which is a weight that I like). But now I am up to about 285. How do I get back on track, mentally I cannot get it together although I know what I should and need to do...

I don't want to fail, I can't fail.

You need to weigh and track every thing you eat and drink. That way you know what you are doing. Eat good food. Protein first then vegetables then carbs. Up your exercise if you can. Good luck

Absolutely what @summerseekerhas said. You can re-jig your intake and lose weight again if you go Protein first at every meal and track *everything*.

When you say 'body compensated' do you mean that you didn't like the weight you landed on after your surgery and found ways to eat around it? Or that that was your lowest weight and then even sticking to your programme you regained that much? And when you say 'but now I am up to...' are you saying that you regained that much whilst still being vigilant, or that you totally relaxed the rules? Sorry I'm very black and white - need more detail!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
