Happy holidays my fellow sleevers. I am in need of some motivational help. I have gotten off track and having a difficult time getting back on. I have stopped going to the gym each day, I have stopped eating healthy, and eat more than I know I should be eating. I have not done any permanent damage I am sure, but will if I don't find the motivation to get back. The holidays have been especially difficult for me since my children were not able to come home this year. I do not think I am eating emotionally but who knows at this point. The hurt feeling of eating too much does not happen too much anymore:( This is where you all come in, words, prayers, you name it I need it.

Hi Lowe1961, I am at 8 months next friday and loving my sleeve. I am down to 118 pounds, exercise 4 to 5 times a week, have run my first mud run, and so happy.

I like this club! I am 3 months out now and almost at 70lbs down!!!!!!!! Cant wait to be part of the 100 lb club :-)

I'am in the 50 pound club also. 3 months out. Whohooo.

So excited I could cry. As of today I am part of the 50 pound club. The funny thing is people kept telling me I was too thin to have the surgery and only look to be about 30 pounds overweight. Well here I am at 50 pounds off and feel crazy wonderful. 122 has never felt so good.

I tried laxitives and powders but they really do not make a difference. When are you are able to exercise, running really helps. You know sort of impacts everything down in the correct area, hee hee I dont think there is such thing as TMI on this site:-)

When you start out at a lower weight you will lose at a slower pace. You can expect about 2 pounds a week until you are about 10 pounds from your goal then it slows down to about a pound a week. I started out at 172. I exercise daily, eat well and now weigh 124.

oddly enough, if you eat a little more the stall will pass. Your body gets use to the amount of calories you put in it. Try eating a little more for a couple of days

I do P90X and Insanity, something I never thought could happen:-)

Try something warm to make it disolve faster. I do not encourge this, but it is super easy to vomit if it has not been too long since you swallowed it. I do not make it a practice to do this but every now and then as I try new stuff and it does not agree I will. Now don't everyone rush to tell me how dangerous it is, I have only done it 2 or 3 times in 6 months.

I am down to a fantastic size 4. I have lost 47 pounds

I am fully supportive of you! My BMi was also borderline since I am about 5''2' and was 171lbs pre-surgery. I am down to 153lbs after about 3 weeks post surgery and looking forward to be at 130lbs ideally. So what if it is cosmetic? After all, it will have a positive effect on our health in general. BEST of luck to us, whether it be for cosmetic of medical reasons! Puerto Vallarta Mexico rocks! Self-paid also and very happy

Keep track of everything you eat. Even on the bads days when you want to conveniently forget;-) You will be shocked to see how quickly you can 10 calorie yourself up to 1600. I agree with Grannyk, learning the good habits now will be better so you are not so emotional after the surgery. You are going to LOVE the sleeve, it is a life changing event.

I so know what you are feeling right now. I just got back from a week of vacation and did gain 3 pounds. Today however I got back into the gym and started eating right again. I enjoyed my vacation:-) Don't beat yourself up and enjoy.

Don't beat yourself up! I understand that worry that you probably have about still not being able to control what you eat! BUT....the sleeve does help to keep it all in perspective even if you do "fall off the wagon" once in awhile, like when you are on a vacation. I think that is real life. I think that people do tend to indulge a little more on a vacation and gain a few pounds and that's OK. The difference is that the sleeve will prevent you from doing that every day like you did before the surgery!I know I had no control whatsoever before the sleeve, so I LOVE that it will stop me from being 275 pounds ever again!
I noticed after I went away for the weekend and ate more of the things I shouldn't (carbs) and less of what I should (protein) that my capacity to eat increased! I could eat more suddenly this week and it scared me too!
I also had some diet soda last weekend and someone told me that drinking carbonated beverages will stretch your sleeve!!
Do you or anybody know if there is any truth to that?
I am like you and wonder if some of this is "head" related and not stomach related!
Anyway sorry you gained. That sucks.
It will probably come off pretty quickly once you get back to your routine I bet! Good luck!

Very sorry to hear about your parents. I really hope you are in grief therapy. Start by taking baby steps back. Set small realistic goals for yourslef. Number one could be stopping the soda. We have all heard how the carbination treats your stomach like a balloon that you blow up, let the air out, blow up, let the air out. Eventually the balloon does not go back to its size.
Please remember your parents would not want this state of uncomfotableness for you, why would you want less for yourself?
