Starvation Mode and starting over

Current stats 5’4”/38 years old female/ sw360/cw209/gw140-125.

I have lost 151 pounds in the last 11 months. And I have reclaimed my life. I lost 70 pounds before having a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in December 2018.

I continued to lose and get stronger. In July I hiked 60 miles on the John Muir Trail through the Sierras. I had not figured out my food and had a loss of appetite due to the altitude. As such in a matter of a week I lost over 20 pounds, hiking up about and down mountains with a 45 pound pack burns a lot of calories.

When I got home I did not weight myself, but I do know that I had a voracious appetite and really struggled to keep from seriously over eating. I believe I was under 200, and have regained 10+ pounds. I don’t believe in starvation mode, but my rapid weight loss was followed by a desire to eat, a lot. Anyway...

I am getting back on track. I’m doing what’s called a pouch reset, which is a liquid diet for 5-14 days which resets the restrictive feeling I get from my pouch. I am recommitting to measuring everything and not giving myself bigger portions just because I feel like it.

And I am getting back on my training. Hiking with weighted pack, doing C210k and weight training.

Just putting this in writing to really commit and be accountable to myself.
