Do-over after 25lb regain!

Aug 30, 2015

I am 4 years post sleeve and over the past 2 years, I've gradually regained 25 lbs. (155lbs average but lowest was 142 lbs so technically regained 40ish lbs).  I was very sloppy in my post-surg regimen...I ate solids too soon, resumed diet soda after 4 months, didn't drink much water, was lazy and had protein shakes for lunch rather than real food...AND STARTED EATING POPCORN to de-stress when going through stressful application process to university for all 3 daughters (that's my excuse anyway) so needless to say I didn't try very hard to learn new coping strategies.  I still can't eat a lot at once but for some reason, I can pack away a whole big bowl of popcorn.  I also didn't exercise except for a little dog walking.

I had plastic surgery in August, 2012, a year after my sleeve...it went really well.  However, having much slimmer hips and bum (thanks to body lift and lipo) gave me a false sense that I was getting away with eating junk food because my usual area of weight gain (pants) didn't happen the same.

So here I am, recommitting to the 3-4oz protein first meals, 3 x day with 2 protein shakes and water in between...also recommitting to walking hour per day, pushups/squats/situps.
