I literally just posted the same thing! I got some great advice from everyone. Check out my last post. Food will NOT defeat us!

Thanks for the support everyone! I need to get back on the wagon & realize everything I went through to get here. im currently down 54lbs & just need my head out of my a$$!

I feel FULL after I eat one. Sometimes I cant finish it, but recently its become easier for me to do it. I strayed away from this site for awhile but I realized I need some sort of support system.

Hello, I am a little over 4 months post op & I feel defeated. Yes, I feel fuller faster & cant eat as much, but I can still eat anything I want too. Nothing bothers me. I recently fell off the wagon & Im afraid I have stretched my sleeve. I can eat more than every before (an entire lean cuisine or smart one). And, I know most of it is mental. Temptation is winning my battle. How do I know if my sleeve is stretched?

Thanks MinaT.... I have been eating the Fage Greek yogurt with fruit. I suppose I was focusing on the protein instead of the sugar & carbs. I cannot stand the taste of plain greek yogurt. I know I need to step it up with the water & exercise. I know it sounds like a bad excuse but I sit all day at work, have a commute, and 10 hour days. By the time I get home to my 2yr old exercise is the last thing on my mind. I may need to start going on my lunch or in the morning. I realize how important it actually is. I LOVE oatmeal & loathe protein shakes...lol... but I know everything you said it was I need to do! Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I think I was expecting 50lbs to be gone & its not..... Good things come to those who wait I suppose!

I think I may be eating the wrong thins. Brkfst- Consists of either oatmeal or an egg....Fage yogurt for a snack... Lunch is tuna/chicken salad with light mayo, string cheese... then I might have some kellogs cracker crisps with some hummus. Dinner I try to keep to healty... Last night as baked eggplant with some sauce & 2% mozz cheese. I feel like I can eat more than usual, thats why I feel its stretched.

I am 6 weeks post-op & I have only lost 20lbs. I havent lost more than 2lbs in 3 weeks. I know Im not getting in the water, but Im afraid I may have stretched my stomach as well. Im so frustrated and angry at myself. Is this related to my lack of water & protein?

I will be 4 weeks on Wed & I havent lost a pound in almost 2 weeks!!!!! I think its the lack of protein & water on my part. The shakes make me sick. I have yet to find anything that stays down. I havent started exercising yet either. I want to get adjusted to eating right first . I'm VERY frustrated.

Im goin to the beach next week & I cant wait!!!

I cant tolerate the shakes. They made me vomit, and I ended up back in the hospital. My Dr. said not to worry about it. Keeping hydrated was more important. I try to eat an egg for t, mushy ceral & greek yogurt, and flaky fish. Of course your diet depends on your Dr..... I can have chicken (skinless) starting next week. I've lost 26lbs....there are other ways to get protein than those nasty over priced shakes!

I am also 3 weeks out (sleeve on June 27th) & I feel the same way. Im not as bad as I was, but Im not doing well following the diet. I dont even drink shakes. My surgeon wasnt worried about it because they were making me vomit, and I ended up dehydrated & back in the hospital. Everyday is a struggle, but theres no going back. I try to eat eggs & greek yogurt to get some sort of protein. Im going to the beach in a week & I know its going to be a huge issue. My family likes to eat & they enjoy going out on vacation. I suppose I can order grilled chicken or baked fish of some sort.

And I'm only 3 weeks out............ Really disappointed. I just feel like I can eat different things finally. (I only had 4 bites, then I was full)

My Dr. has me on prilosec ... I have no idea if it helps or not. I have the same feelings as you I_did_it. I suppose my Husband is going to burp me! Im so afraid to eat. Im only 10 days post-op. The Dr. didnt seem concerned, unless I vomit & Ive been avoiding that like the plague... I do NOT want to be back in that hospital. Im glad Im not alone. I was crying this afternoon asking the "why did I do this to myself" question. I just hope this eventually goes away.

I get gas pains in my chest & back ANYTIME I drink/eat anything. Ive tried gas-x but its only temporary relief. Has anyone else has this same problem. Im finding it hard to drink/eat because I know I will be in pain afterwards.
