gettinMeBack

@ I was sleeved 8/24/12 I reached my lowest by the summer of 2013 I kept it off with no gains for a year or so and now here I am

Thanks guys! I'm researching the 5 day pouch test right now smh I risked my life for this surgery in order to save my life now I'm letting it all go to waste again smh this will be 4 years out for me in August

I have gained 50lbs back smh I've been avoiding the scale and finally just got on one smh my lowest weight is 130 now I'm 183 I started out at 240 smh

U can definitely add me! I need motivation!! Gettingtiffanyback

This is so interesting to me be cuz this is exactly what I'm going through I feel like I've wasted my sleeve this year. I've gained 20lbs above my goal weight smh I feel so stupid becuz I risked my life to get this surgery and this weight off and now I'm slowly creeping back up there

U look amazing!!

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! This morning I woke up and I'm prepping my protein shake. Now I'm about to do some exercise, baby steps to get back to where I feel my best

I have gained 10lbs smh I swore this wud never happen to me smh it came so fast smh I have lost all control of my diet and it's hard to stop it. I sometimes feel like I have stretched my sleeve but I'm praying not. I think I'm trying to feel normal again and thinking I can't gain this weight back but I clearly see I can . I feel like this 10lbs is 50lbs I'll be 30 in 22 days and I want to be back at 130lbs and feeling sexy again. I know 142 is not big to some but to me it's huge compared to how I felt comfortable. ..

I'm 5'1 and I started out weighing 240lbs and I am now 131lbs I was sleeved 8/24/12

Sadly lol I weigh myself every morning. And I have been for the past 2 years, but that's how I keep on track.

I want to join this challenge! Hopefully it's not to late! I'm only trying to lose. Few pounds but I wud love to participate and share my journey with you all once again.

Im coming up on 2yrs sleeved now just wondering if there is anyone in my area I can connect with or maybe even help through their new journey

I cudnt wait to respond to this thread! I am 28yrs old. I had high blood pressure and was on meds at 25yrs old. I cudnt walk up the stairs without getting out of breath. I cudnt tie my shoe or paint my toenails without a struggle, the only regret I have is waiting 2 years to get the surgery. I have a co-worker that informed me that our insurance pays for this surgery. So I sat back and watched as him and his wife got this surgery and between the 2 of them they lost the weight of 3 people. And I STILL didnt get it. I have 3 boys and I cudnt dance with them I cudnt run or race with them I cudnt ride bikes with them or play basketball with them. I cudnt wrestle with them. Now these are all things that I did wit them this summer. I cant believe the difference that weight made in my life. I run the stairs I jog I wotk out everyday I dont sweat I dont run out of breath like I use to. I played baseball and basketball with my boys this summer we rode bikes we dance all the time! My youngest son (7) can wrap his arms completely around my waist now. I can fit my oldest sons jackets coats and shirts. (Hes 10) im now known as skinnny tiffany instead of the heavey set tiffany lol yes I laugh at it now. My co-workers didnt recognize me, people I have known for years dont recognize me now. And I soak uo every bit of it cuz I deserve it. People think its easy to have this surgery but I wish I cud show them exactly how hard it is. My hubby tells me all the time he admires my strength cuz he cudnt have did the pre-op diet let alone the 2mth long post-op. Even now I don't eat the things I use to. Dont get me wrong im far from perfect but compared to what I ate before...I eat like a bird seriously lol my hubby at the timed weighed 260lbs I was right behind him at 240lbs and I am 5'1 now I am 137lbs and you ask wud I do it again and my answer is in a heartbeat. Do I regret it? My answer is not at all!! I regret not having this done at 24!! Its cheaper on the household its convenient when your to busy to cook its normal! Im now 14mths out I can eat a normal size meal that wudnt look weird to someone that doesnt know ive had this surgery (for those of you who want to keep it a secret) im no longet on bp meds ...I wear a size 6....I cud go on and on about the good things this surgery has brought to me. No I didnt have any complications my surgeon was amazing and I healed wonderful. But if the outcome was the same I wud go thru complications becuz its worth it [ATTACH]20253[/ATTACH] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

I need to accept the fact that I cant continue to lose weight and still eat carbs. Smh but the things I want are things I shudnt be eating anyway. chips, cake, sweets smh I need to back away from all of that competely Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST

I'm going thru this now! Its like I don't know when to stop! I can feel that I'm full and my mind is telling me eat eat eat! ! Smh I don't get sick and throw up but it's doesn't feel good either smh. I need to start over on a pre op diet soon becuz I'm afraid of stretching my stomach and also gaining weight. I haven't gained anything tho Thank God and im over a year out now si I can eat more and I work out 3 days a week and my job is very physical but this still scaring me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using VST
