help I'm up 13 pounds
At three years out I was up what I considered a significant amount. I had to go back to basics - Protein first, going low carb and tracking calories. I very rarely feel any restriction at this point.

So sad about Hair Loss
I have found the only thing that helped my hair loss was to take Journey vitamins. They are seriously a lifesaver for your hair. I tried everything and only these Vitamins stopped and then reversed the loss.

Please take care of yourself.

almost 2 years out and feel i cant eat
I'm 18 months out and feel the same way. I reached goal in April and maintained within a 2lb up or down range for 8 months. But something happened in December. It seemed like I could eat anything and everything with no restriction. And what I thought was real hunger. Woke up on Jan 1 with the scale up 11.4 lbs. Got back to basics and in 4 days lost 8 of the 11.4 (assume most of it was Water weight) The lesson learned reinforces that this is a lifelong journey and I have to be dilligent with what I put into my mouth every day for the rest of my life... Actually it's a small sacrifice for my health (and looking amazing!)

By The Way....
I was just talking to my hubby about this. Most of the time i dont feel any restriction (but i feel hunger) and its a struggle to keep myself from continuing to eat. But every once in a while i eat something and i feel instantly restricted. Very oddwith no pattern i can identify I will say that i have been at goal weight for almost 6 months now which is the longest in recent memory. Typically i would reach goal and almost immediately begin to regain

Good grief girl...after 14 hours of work, you need to relax Seriously though - If you cut back on the working out, you will see a difference. I know, been there, done that!

Crying
Oh honey, take a deep breath...you are going thru normal anxiety and everything will be ok. You took a huge step deciding to sleeve. When your doubt creeps in, remember that unless you take care of yourself and your health, you can't truly take care of your family. Those who depend on you need you at 100% for the long term. And being overweight and unhealthy is not in their best interest either. Try to focus on the positive, not the "what if's) (which is easier said than done) Sleeving is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family. Hope this helps you a tiny bit also wanted to add - there are so many success stories posted on this board. When the fear and anxiety sets in, read or re read them. So many amazing life changing examples of how good your life after sleeving can be!

You are doing amazing well girl! My advise is going to be counter intuitive but my recomendation is to cut back on your exercise. Your body is adjusting to the stress it just went thru and with your lower calories and high exercise, it's adding more stress. I would cut the treadmill back to 3 days a week for a few weeks and see what happens. My bet is you start to see a loss on the scale again!
