Just had surgery in January but I feel like I’m slipping. I feel like I’m losing my willpower. Idk what to do. Ive been fighting with myself daily for a few weeks. Any encouragement or tips are appreciated. I don’t want to screw this up.
 
Keep up the good work. Go fight win! I feel your struggles cause I have em too. What I did was find the one healthy snack that I really really like and stock up. That keeps me from indulging in the J ink food my housemates bring in. easier said than done. But it's done. Don't quit. You're stomach might not let you and you don't want to experience when it gets upset. You got this.

What is it that your struggling with exactly? Are you craving sweets? Have a need to chew? Snacking too much? I agree with Carolyn - find that tasty healthy snack and indulge if you need to! Tracy comes here for support and reads posts and is encouraged. I engulfed myself in exercise and turn to it when I have 'head' hunger. Find something positive and become it's champion! You can do it!

Just do what the Dr tell you and you will be fine. You can do this, keep telling yourself and you will do fine. We are here for you if you want to talk. You need to find something fun to do to keep your mind off of whatever is pulling you down, just remember you did not do all this for nothing, remember what motivated you to do this
 
It is normal to be tired but you have to push your self. I have not had the surgery yet but I have read about it. And it does mention tiredness but you need to push through. Mind over matter. And prove your husband wrong. My husband be talking crap all the time. You can't do this or that. Leave it to me and the boys. But I have proved him wrong so many times. You have it in you. You just have to find that fire that is inside of you and let it shine. Let it burn him into his place at your side. And tell your husband picking on you is not a way to help. He can encourage you by walking with you. Have him take you to the park and walk together. Make it something he can do with you. I know if my husband was here when I went walking he would either be right by side me making sure I was ok. Or following me making sure no body messing with what is his.
 
Hi,l am new too like u l am struggling ,l just was weighed and gained,I am terrified l will go back.l need to walk but feel too lazy.Husband trys,but it feels like he is just watching and picking.help:(
I'm new too... only 1 month post op. I am looking for new things to eat so I won't be bored. I think boredom with the recipes is one way we slip back into foods we know we love. I'm keeping anything I can't resist OUT OF THE HOUSE. I replaced ALL condiments (mayo, bbq sauce, salt substitute) with bariatric friendly choices. I also use Almond milk in my protein shakes. GOOD LUCK and get back on track by making it exciting and remembering your goal.

I know what you mean. I still want to eat the way I have my whole life.
