Because I was so discourage of my results for my 1 year anniversary, I dug myself out of the hole and decided to do something about it!
So today I started the 5 day reset.
So far so good. It has made me reflex today where I was last year this time and why I was doing it.
Please send me support because it will help me see it through.
Thank you all in advance.

You want to hear about SLOW! Well how about almost 1 year out and your HW was 257, your LW 217, and now your weight 239! Now that's slow. I've been back to doc 3 times and we have tried upping Protein, increasing exercise. Not until last week I found out from talking to nutrientist and my Psyc that I was unconsciously blocking myself from loosing due that I was afraid of the saggy skin. Sound ridiculous? Yes but my best friend had gastric bypass and she lost 9 to 10 pounds a week too fast. When she reached her goal she showed me all the skin. She went from 400 to 200. But it's something I never wanted my husband to see. But no one said it would happen to me, my mind just kept the imagine and ad I start loosing I got scared and unconsciously stop doing what I suppose to do. Now that I have identified it I am back on track! Yeah, this week I'm ready and if the skin saggy, God will make a way to fix it. I am not longer afraid.
But to u all who think u r slow. Think about me 1 Year out with only now a 30 pound weight lost and send some love and encouragement my way for I need it!

MsKendraHL,
I have been through it for other reason but it is all the same.
I too had a friend for 15+ years and something similar happen.
Let me put it to u straight up. We thought they were our friends. The fact is you were her friend but u were not necessary her friend. Shd had to keep u thinking that and keep u close so she can know everything going on in your life so she can top it. Now that she not going to he the finest chick in the group she has become a "HATE-AR". And like Kat Williams say we all need them in our life! Lol
Like your husband say let her go, she has shown her true colors and this was not the first time, this time just mattered to U!!!!
Now it's time to take care of the #1 Player in your life , U!!!!
If she want to be in your social circle then she is going to have to check negativity at the door otherwise your circle is full and you will take her application and call her when there is an opening.
You have to look at it that if she was a true friend, a do or die friend, she would be happy that you r getting healthy!
I am still an associate with my so thought friend, I just associate when it is convenient for ME these days.
Hope this helped
Queen

Hello to u both and I can say I am proud of u both. My one year anniversary is June 30 and I have not done half of what u two have done and I am so do disappointed and frustrated. I have had my stomach tested to see if it had stretch " no" it has not. I started at 257 and went dn as low as 217 now I'm at 235. Doc said I'm sm not getting enough Protein and I'm really struggling with that.
Can u both share with me how u got to onederland. Please help I need encouragement. I wish I would have found this sight a year ago it would have helped alot but I have it now and hope to make sleeve friends for life!

I always use the same "before" picture because I never really photographed myself when I was at my heaviest weights; which at times fluctuated up and down between 313 lbs. and 295 lbs. I never thought I would get out of that slump and thanks to my sleeve I have been able to accomplish so much in a little over a year.
Last year, before my surgery, I wondered if I would ever get out of the 200's. My surgeon told me that the sleeve surgery didn't guarantee 100% weight loss of my excess weight, and I was o.k with that because I figured any weight loss is better than none!. However, I did wonder if I would even make it below 200 lbs.
It's finally happened for me!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooooooo hoooooooooooo! I am so happy for myself.
Here are my before and after pics!
In the after picture I am actually 202 pounds but I look pretty much the same at 198 lbs. hehehe

Hi I'm new to the forum but not to Sleeve. My one year anniversary is coming up June 30 and I too have only lost 30 - 35 lbs. I have went as far as having my stomach tested to see if it has stretched. Lol on Tuesday I went to see the nutrientist to see what is going on.
One thing she said everyone's body reacts differently. Two I was not getting in enough Protein and was not exercising enough.
So I'm going to try to improve on those two but I feel u. I am very frustrated as well. All the friends I mafia that had surgery same month as me had lost 80, 90, 65, and even s 100. In my support im the only one stlll in the 200, they all in
onederland. But my doc said its good for people like me and you because we should have less saggy skin. Maybe we can help each other.

Hi my fellow sleevers! It's been awhile since I've been on this site. I'm 7 months out and only lost between 30-35 lbs, really??? I am still following what I'm supposed to, eating healthy, exercising. I work 4-10s and on my feet 95% of the time. I've seen my surgeon last month and said that it really varies from person to person...I only want to loose about 30 more pounds but with the pace that I am going, it seems like it'll take me forever!!! I haven't really been to my support group because I am just frustrated/ disgusted way beyond belief. Some people that had this done, don't even exercise nor eat healthy and they still loose the weight!
So are there people out here going thru the same thing that I am going thru right now? I am just way sooooooooooooooo very frustrated, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
