    Go back to basics! Get back on your menu from when you were 3 months out from surgery. Also get some support/help. Maybe a support group where you meet other people in similar situations? I've never been a sharer, but if I start gaining again I will join every group possible to figure out how to reverse it again.

    Also, keep a good mental outlook. Believe in yourself and do this for yourself. Remember how great you'll feel! I can't say it enough, exercise, exercise, exercise!!!!

    Good luck!

    Did you have regular post-op visits with your surgeon or GP? you need to have a blood test asap to know what kind of deficiency you have.
    But because you're not 12 months out yet, it's really important to monitor your protein intake (60gr per day for a woman) since you can't eat much.
    When I couldn't eat enough protein I was dizzy too. But being dizzy could be coming from dehydration to not enough iron, it's hard to tell. That's why you need a blood test.

    At some point in our journey, we can eat more and get more hungry because our body tries to gain back the weight. That's when it's important to watch your diet closely, eat good nutritious food. Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring, it's easy to find things that you will like that are good for you too. Don't wait until you regain to change your nutrition, start today and you will feel better too. Vitamins are great to help and bariatric patients need to take it since day one post-op but eating the right food will help you more in the long run because the vitamin absorption is better from food than from tablets. Take care!

    Get out all your materials you got from your surgeon and get back to how us sleeved patients should be eating and drinking. And while you're at it, get out and take a walk! Or go to the gym, or ride your bike, or do whatever you enjoy. Your materials should also explain what vitamins you should be taking. I still take a bariatric multi-vitamin (after almost 4 years) along with calcium citrate and vitamin D.

    You are probably dizzy because you are not getting enough nutrients from your food. You said you eat anything but in small quantities. I posted a vitamin list from John Hopkins in the blog about diet, nutrition, and vitamins. That can get you started on the right path. I would highly recommend you focus on protein and veggies again. Once you have eaten that, you should be pretty full and not have much room for anything else. You have to get your body moving. You did not come all this way to give up on your new healthy life! You can do this!!!

    I know its easier said then done, but you need to make sure you get your protein in... so many options to keep it from getting boring... I mean how much chicken breast can we eat, right?

    Beans, Lentils, chicken, brocholli pork, ground beef... I like to make a hamburger patty with cooked in onions and eat with a slice of tomato & green beans, or cook ground beef in a tomato sauce and spiralized zucchini, I also made a fantastic coconut lentil dish the other day and served it with steamed spinach for my iron intake. Beans are great source of protein and iron. Get it however you can, and make sure you drink water... I get dizzy if I don't. Also, I have trouble taking all the vitamin pills, so I use the Vitamin patches- Its like $20 for a month supply. Good luck!!!
