When you think back, weight loss was seemingly effortless in the first two years after weight loss surgery. You ate your protein, you moved your body daily, you didn’t have hunger, and the weight just dropped off.
Then, all of a sudden, years later, you are left feeling confused and lost knowing that you have gained some or all of the weight back since your surgery several years ago.
Does this sound familiar?
And I bet that if you think back, no one told you what to do to maintain your weight once you got to your goal. All discussions were focussed on how to lose weight healthily, but no mention was made regarding life beyond this. Your surgeon may not have even told you that there is a possibility of weight regain.
You may have even tried going on a ‘pouch reset’ - to only feel hungrier than ever, miserable and in a negative thinking cycle.
Above all, you see others that have not experienced any weight regain, or those around you still effortlessly losing weight. This may make you feel like a failure, which then gets you thinking of your next strategy or fad diet in an effort to lose the weight.
Didn’t you have surgery to get off this merry-go-round once and for all?
