I'm in Asheville and am 3 yrs post op. getting sleeved is the best gift I've given 2 myself.

started the 5:2 plan last Monday. feeling more optimistic that I can calm the beast inside. ugh!

I've been busy the last 6 months with relocating cities so my exercise schedule had become non-existent. I know I need to get back to doing that. I've become a grazer which is something I never wanted to happen. carbs go down much better than protein, so I've gotten too comfortable. I'm back up to 235 lbs. I just bummed that I allowed myself to lose momentum. it's a beast getting back into the groove.

I don't even know where to begin. I must know I need to stop the snacking, carbs and coffee drinks. my butt, hips and gut are just outta control. I never made it to goal. I just don't know what's wrong with me. I need to lose 90 lbs to get to goal. I'm right back where I started 3 yrs ago. I fear I blew my opportunity to work my sleeve! it's truly depressing... sigh...

222lbs. I'm failing...

223 today.

220.6

Basically is like a Pepcid

@lovely- it's a ?proton inhibitor. It helps your sleeve not produce as much acid.

This happened to me once. It scared me to death. My surgeon put me on a ppi. The overproduction of acid on my stomach caused it in my case. Hope you feel better.

This challenge -is a challenge. No loss this week. Holding @ 222.

Quest apple pie is DELISH!

I went off track, crashed and burned. I'm 2 years post op and up 25 lbs. Trying to get back on track. Its a process for sure. Just taking it a day at a time and trying to get back to the basics, which for some reason, are so easy the second time around. But I still persevere...

I'm down 110 lbs. and went from a 8.5-9 to a 7.5. never thought that my feet were fat, but apparently I was wrong.

cw 222

Didn't lose a drop. In fact, I gained a lb. + 1. Not happy, but I'll keep trying.

CW- 221lbs 1/3/2014 GW- 210 by 2/14

once again my bp family has help me over a mental hurdle. thanks for the suggestions. today was a much better day for me. one day @ a time it is...

thanks for all the supportive ideas. I think my mind is the biggest barrier right now. I' just gotta get outta my own way. I signed up foe the valentines day challenge. that will help me with the accountability issue. I plan to get back to the basics TODAY! no point in waiting,,, thanks again...

is the 5:2 a good jump start program or should I just go back to the basics? protein first, carbs if I have room. I dread the carb withdrawal. but it must be done. thanks to Misty send Laura for the suggestions.

please count me in!

I'm 2 years post op and I have the same problem. I thought it was just me. glad to see that it's not. exercise does help I've noticed.

I feel overwhelmed, ashamed, disappointed. I'm hungry, snacking, not eating enough protein, too many carbs and sweets. completely off track and feeling out of control. help me please get it together. I'm still down 100lns, but I need to lose about 65 more lbs. heading into my late 40s and it ain't easy losing like it used to be. anyone been in my shoes?

Hi Everyone- I'm Jacki from Cleveland, OH (go Bucks! Tribe! and Browns!) just read this thread today and will start logging my activity tomorrow. I'm a little behind the others, but who cares!!!!! Let's get moving!

congrats ashleyxx. I have abt 10-15 lbs. of regain which leaves me with 75 lbs to loose. I plan to try the 5:2 plan to regain control and squash the carb cravings.
