Hi All, I had my surgery 8 years ago on Jan 8th 2009 and in 15 months I lost 116lbs.  Then the creep started to happen.  Just 10lbs at first and I was OK then 10 more and so on until I've gained back 65lbs.  No reason for the gain, I just took my eye off the ball. Stopped doing the work.  I remember being told at a meeting by someone   "Who we were is who we will always be if we forget to work at being different."

I got back on track and on Jan 9 2017 I pretended I had surgery and started the 2 week liquid diet.  Followed the post surgery diet to the letter which is helping me kick the sugar and Carb addition.  I happy to report as of Monday I lost 17lbs.  Yes 17lbs in 1 week.  It was hard.  VERY HARD.  I was very VERY hungry but I kept with it and it is getting better.  I am grateful that my band still works.   I will do this until this coming Monday then I start week 3 or phase 3 puree diet for two weeks then stage 4 soft solid foods for two more weeks.  I am hoping that this will give me the weight loss to motivate me to keep going.  This is a commitment I make to myself.  Getting back on track and getting back to feeling well is what it is all about. 

Grazing can definitely sabotage your weight loss efforts. Now if you can pre plan those snacks that your grazing on it might help you get back on track cuz now it isn't mindless grazing plus you know you'll have something to look forward to during your day & not feel deprived of anything.

Distracting yourself with anything other than eating will help. Some carry around water bottles & take a sip of that rather than reaching for food. You can write in a journal, color in one of those adult coloring books, read, take a walk etc. Me I like to do all of those things & update my Amazon wishlist. lol 

I take a multivitamin made specifically for bariatric patients, as well as calcium citrate supplement with vitamin D3.   The vitamin is just once a day, the calcium is 3x a day.  Here is what I take:

Vitamin:

Calcium:  (these taste yummy and come in other flavors)

Id suggest trying a different brand, or a low sodium version, or adding different seasonings or a bit of water? I used a veggie broth that came in 1 liter cartons during my pre op. is there a reason you are drinking broth? To help get your liquids up? Or are you still on clear liquids?

everyones plan is different, and I was only on clear liquids for two days. Then a week of full liquids, where I mostly just had water and protein shakes.

good luck!
