Some will regain some of us won't. Only my opinion. Take whats useful and ignor the rest. You can use the fear of regain to stay on track. Know yourself. What are your old behaviors that cause weight gain. Weigh yourself. Don't let a small gain turn into a major gain. Get back on plan and work things back down. No shame in…

I'm new to the group.Sleeve in 2014. I gained 20 pound in 2021. I'm focused on my health in 2022. I'm down 9 lbs since jan 1st.

67 pounds is fantastic. Some of us lose slow and others fast. You might want to check with your dietician on how much you should be eating at this point. I am seven years out. My dieticians instructions may be outdated. I ate foods on my plan. 900 to 1000 calories. 60-100 grams protein. 55 grams carb. Exercise will kick up…

Wow, your surgery anniversary is in 2 months. Celebrate big!

@HLaR79 Hoping this is the last of the snow for you. Restrictions have been rough. Keeping my mind in the game has been a challenge. When did you have surgery?

@azalea4175 Difficult part for me was learning the first stages and changing my relationship with food. All of this felt unnatural at first, Now its just habit. Take things one food stage at a time. Get solid in the bariatric basics (Log food, eat your food plan, hit your protein goal, exercise/activity, and hydrate) My…

Sorry to hear you are partially locked down. I'm looking forward to landscaping/yardwork for a workouts. Bring on the warm weather :)

March hike to table rock complete -

loving the warmer weather. Gym's are open in my area with restrictions. My neighbor and I are doing a 28 day fitness boot camp. This is week 3. I'm feeling it. My goal for March is hike to table rock. Photos to come.

@bettisboy Feel free to friend me. Congratulations on 22 months out. 1- 2 pound bounce is not significant. You are doing great. Checking in for support helps. When I'm struggling you will see me posting more often. How do you maintain without being too strict or to lax? Find a style that works for you. Sound's like logging…

Way to go! You are on a good path and getting your mojo back. Love it. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Mandy_1982 You are not a failure (hug) None of us are perfect at this. Find what works for you. I went back to real food stage and bariatric basics. I feel more satiated with real food. I logged my food, hit my calories, carbs and protein. 60 to 100 grams protein and 50 to 60 grams of carb. What old habit(s) have…

I lose weight at 1000/1100 calories. My carbs are plant based. (no rice, bread, pasta) Exceptions are long run/ride days. I changed my diet up to…

Sorry to hear about your complications. I'm back on bariatric real food plan. It took me a little more than a week to detox of extra carbs/sugar. If its not in my house I wont eat it (laughing) I'm active. I keep my protein around 70 to 100 my carbs around 50 to 60. As of today I'm on track. Stress of the pandemic has been…

Happy Thursday all, Checking in: Kicking my teddy bear tonight. Age is catching up with me. I'm making an appointment to get cortisone injections for knee pain. Training for a race in April, I'm not going to let this be a set back.

@cassybaca Your reactive hyperglycemia sounds more severe than mine. I hope you find what works for your health. I am a sleeve five years out and have reactive hypoglycemia. Common complication from any bariatric procedure. I am managing it. but, I still have times I can follow my protocol ( eat every two to three hours,…

@cassybaca I'm sorry for all the things you are struggling with. Your reactive hypoglycemia sounds like it's more sever than mine. I hope Dr's can treat it successfully. I'm a sleeve five years out and have reactive hypoglycemia. (It's a common complication from surgery) With the sleeve, I get no dumping syndrome when I…

Congrats! great way to kick off 2020. I'm a sleeve five years out

@j_eanie fantastic topic. Unfortunately, I agree its lack of education, Many medical facility's don't have the money or staff to put together real treatment options. How would I like a DR/GP/FP help me to lose weight? A simple referral to a program offered by my local hospital (My Dr, had no clue this program existed) Drs…

You have done fantastic. Give yourself credit for the pounds down. I know a regain can mess with your head. The work never stops after goal. My surgical team told me a 15 to 20-pound bounce after goal is common. I lost a regain in my third year. It was not easy to get my discipline back. (I did get the weight off) Five…

I had a 16 pound gain my third year out. I can relate. Feel free to add me.
