LIN140

I certainly understand the struggle. I would love to find my motivation to lose weight again. I am 180 and I definitely felt better around 160-165. My best suggestion is to fall in love with exercise or a particular workout. Mine is Jillian Michaels, Beachbody's Insanity and Hammer and Chisel. You just need to find what works best for you. I wish my cravings didn't return with a vengeance and I wish I didn't snack so much because I feel that is the single most thing sabotaging EVERYTHING. But I have what I have to work with. Hang in there and have fun exploring different ways to motivate your body to move! :-)

I was sleeved about 4 years ago, and have gained about half my weight back. I have been trying to get back but keep falling into a rut. snack And bad foods have become the norm once again. Need to find the strength to hit the restart button.

Hi Angie,
I am about 10 weeks out and I too felt like I had made a great mistake and felt like I would not be able to live with myself and the choices I made.
This is temporary, after about two weeks I started feeling much better, and now that my clothes are loose and I feel to have more energy, I would do it all over again.
Hang in there, you will feel better soon:)

Thank you for sharing your success.
I was sleeved on July 8, have made good progress but I cannot even dream of what it would be like to hit my goal. I look forward to what things will be like for me 6 months from now, even a year from now.
I can imagine the excitement of your wedding day, in the new you. Congratulations!

Good morning all,
I can remember the anticipation for my big day, just a month ago on July 8. I can also remember the feelings of regret just a few days after, feeling I had possibly made a big mistake......now one month after, I am starting to see and feel the rewards of possibly one of the greatest steps of my life, and I am glad to be here, where I am.
Reading all your comments has definitely made this process much better. Thank you for taking time to post and ask questions because we have all come across similar challenges in the first 30 days.
Time has passed so quickly ( except for the first week;).
I hope you are all in good health!

Hello there,
I was so happy to have some food today, transitioning from liquids and shakes to purred. Had some tuna, mmm it was soo good.
Maybe this can help break the stall.,......wishful thinking:)

You do inspire those of who are just getting started congratulations!

I was sleeves on July 8. Weight was 222 current weight is 209. I have been like this for the last five days. I was also a bit discouraged seeing how little intake I have and how the scale does not move. I do regular everyday walking, some walks around the block in my house but overall very easy walking. I will go back to work tomorrow.
One thing that I keep in mind when the scale gives me no encouragement is that I have began a journey not a sprint.
I hope to soon see the movement of the scale once again:).

Wow 22 lbs in 2.5 weeks, it does not get much better than that, you should be celebrating. Maybe because you had such a strong start you feel disappointed of not keeping the same pace. But remember, there is nothing wrong with slow and steady.
I am 12 days post op, lost 13 lbs and most in my first week. Wish I could keep the pace of the first week but I know that is unlikely.

Thank you for sharing your story and pictures.
I am one week post opp, trying to adjust to the tiny belly and having regrets at times. Your journey and success brings me inspiration.

I had mine on the 8th too. Leaving the hospital today, I have been very tired, but at the same time, I cannot sleep. Hopefully I will be able to get some test in my bed.

Good morning my fellow July 8th sleevers.
It's exciting to just have the last three days / last weekend, before our new self. I thought it was going to be difficult staying off all the bad holiday foods, but maybe due to the nerves it has been rather easy. I hope you all enjoyed a nice holiday yesterday.
My mission for this weekend is the following:
pack my bag, still need to get some slippers.
get a massage ( To be as relaxed as possible)
Clean my house really well
And truly just enjoy this special count down with my family. I have a daughter who is 19, who she and I share the same struggle with weight, except I, with the medical problems that come with it. She is very excited for me. Our goal is to start a journey together. Me with my sleeve and she with a strong will. My husband is also very supportive. I hope I can influence my family transition into improved eating habits, so that our family of five can overall improve to better health.
Anyone like to share what their weekend count down must do is?
