Well keep checking in here with us and ask questions and share progress or challenges. Meanwhile check out (google to find the site) Bariatric support center international (BSCI) they offer a back on track class and literature, but it is a paid offering.
Dig out the instructions your bariatric surgeon provided you with and start following that again. Decarb, drink lots of water, walk 20 minutes a day, focus on protein, leave soda and alcohol alone etc... Pick a few areas to begin to work on and get psyched up to succeed!
How far out are you, and what procedure did you have? Problem with WLS is it is only a temporary help, and doesn't fix the "head" stuff... it takes a lot of work to live wls friendly. Hope we can help you get back to where you need to be

Topic: RE: Challenge...NOT for everyone!
is there a good article i can read that will show me step by step of how to get back on track. I need to know my nutrient requirements and even exercise requirments. I got to get back n track. I am so off, you would think I never had the surgery the way I eat and dont exercise. I have lost over 115 lbs and kept it off, but its starting to come back. Why wouldnt it the way I am going...so anyway it's time for me to get back right!
Any CONSTANT help and encouragement will be appreciated!

Congrats on the NSV! Such great news! Also glad they are being diligent in finding a solution to your sleep disturbances. I hope you find yourself sleeping like a baby in no time! Drink tha****er lady! Even if you have to get a watch with multiple alarms to remind you to do so. You have to take good care of yourself to feel good, I I do so want to see that you are feeling good very soon here.
Undereating can slow weight loss as much as overeating. Best of luck getting the meals and fluids on track. I have a feeling when you are not so exhausted you will have an easier time of things. Hugs to you! Thanks for the update.

Hello,
Hope your day is going well. I don't know why the post didn't show the other day. I tried edit and the post was there, but when I hit submit, it disappeared. Strange.
Cardiologist took me off my heart meds on Tuesday. That is a NSV for me!!!!! She did say she could tell I was dehydrated just from the condition of my skin. My body is begging for more water.
Second thing: First sleep study showed no REM sleep at all. I had a second one last night with Bi-PAP on my usual setting of 13 over 9. They titrated (?) the setting upward but never had any REM sleep then either. The sleep specialist is going to work on finding a way for me to get a normal sleep pattern. Good luck to me. Then I will need a third sleep study to see if his plan works. I've never heard of this happening before. Just think how good I will feel after getting this problem fixed. I'll be able to take on the world. So I'm not lazy, just exhausted.
Forgot to eat yesterday until 2PM. Was behind all day. Took a protein drink with me to the sleep study. Drank more but still not up to the 64 ounces I need. Obviously, I didn't overeat yesterday.
