Back on Track

Help Everyone!

I am 3 Years Post Op. Ill admit i was one that went back to eating the old ways and gained back almost all my weight.

I just had my gallbladder out 3 weeks ago. I need to get back on track and lose this weight, Please any advice or tips. Please

Thank you

Do you mean that you're 3 years post op?

I am so sorry. Yes I am 3 years Post Op. I typed it to fast. Went back and changed it. Thank you for pointing that out.

No problem! I just had a moment of distinct concern if you were only 3 months and off-track!

Hiya.

If you aren't already, start by measuring and logging every single thing you put into your mouth. From there, work on getting back to your basics. Here are mine, but yours might be slightly different:

1. Prioritize protein and water
2. Deprioritize carbs, especially the refined and processed ones
3. Make the most of healthy fats
4. Eat three meals a day with no snacks
5. Avoid liquid calories (protein shake for breakfast is my exception since I've never liked putting solid food in my stomach first thing in the morning)
a. Don't drink with meals or for 30 minutes after eating
6. Weigh portions and track/log what you consume
7. Eat mindfully and with no distractions aside from real live people
a. Try to eat at a table
b. Eat with utensils
8. Move as much as possible
9. Weigh yourself daily
a. But focus on the trend of your weight, not the day to day fluctuations
10. Be kind to yourself

Every time you post this- I read it! It's a reminder and a checklist for me to stay on track. It's so easy to become distracted but, your list tends to " bring me back to reality"!

Thanks

You're welcome! I feel the same way every time I post it too :D
