So here i am 8 months later started with some bad habits and then completely fell off the wagon. i am worried that my sleeve is stretched and that i wont lose any more weight. I need to start at the beginning again. so anybody know if i follow the pouch test if that will help me get back to basics like make my sleeve feel like it did in the beginning? I mean i still cant eat alot. unless its liquidy. i sitll can only eat half a weiner or 3/4 or 1 egg things like that but i feel hungry or want to eat every few hours. is this normal or is it all in my head. if i have bread i can only have one slice but still. i do drink carbonated beverages they dont bother me will that stretch my sleeve or is it just over eating. i dont see how a liquid could stretch your sleeve. i can see how over eating. I need help like food councilling no doubt i know i am a food addict but i am aware of it just dont know how to stop i got this sleeve to change my life and it has but i still have failed to give up some habits. i find meat really hard to eat and i am lazy. lol well i just need some re adjusting and some help 12 steps for the foodaholic. lol well thanks for listening. just hoping its not to late and a ruined this wonderful tool. thanks again

does anyone find raw vegetables hurt or give you abdominal pain after you eat them? what about dairy?

Looking good Lisa!

I had my surgery through there I don't regret one min! I actually wanna go visit again!

hey dooter when were you sleeved

Okay so i have a question for all you veteran sleevers. I used to love chugging back a cold glass of water and i have been having a hard time with gettin my liquids in because i couldnt drink no more than a few sips at a time. the last few days i noticed that i can actually almost continuously drink and not hurt afterwards. AN ALMOST CHUG. lol i could keep going but of course i get a brain freeze right away . im wondering if i ruined my sleeve or if eventually it just gets easier to drink like that again? weird thing to miss. i know ! after being sleeved but thats the one thing i did love was chuggin cold water or iced tea!

Well I don't know what to say ! It's been too long on this stall my weight goes up and down for way to long. I don't know what to do any more has this been a waste ? In starting to wonder !

Yay! i'm so happy for you! that must feel amazing!

Well today i started with a trainer today! it felt good to wanna exercise but felt crappy to realize how out of shape i am. Also those mirrors are not my friend. I Looked in the mirror and didnt feel like i looked any different 40 lbs ago. it saddens me and its diheartening but i do know that this is another great start to this weightloss journey.

I am 3 months out and have stopped losing weight but i am still losing inches. you have to make sure u eat enough or else your body will try to hold on to the fat. high protein and healthy carbs. your losing is not over trust me! make sure your drinking adequate water too because if u get dehydrated you will feel tired and sick! i have had this feeling of what is the point i am not losing but trust me its not the end. your body needs some time to adjust to the changes that are happening. i hope this helped keep your chin up and dont give up! i hope this helps you!

Can anyone help me with what we should make sure we are eating if we are gonna kick it hard at the gym?

i do alot of whining and self sabotaging. i worry too much what the scale says. but all in all i must say nothing feels better than when u see someone on the street and they tell you how good your looking and they cant believe the difference. I say that beats the scale victories hands down.

I have the same issue as all of u when was your surgery date pammie? but i here that we can stall for a long time then our inches catch up to our lbs and we are back losing so im waiting for that to happen very impatiently.

drink your water i take zantac sometimes helps with the nausea i dont know why but mine is usually accompanied by heart burn . make sure your eating enough calories and getting your protein in that i hear is one of the keys to success. i am at a 3 week stall so far and its frustrating although the inches are coming off in all different places each week i do notice a difference. thuis forum helps alot.
