That does sound exactly like what I'm going through! Except that I have a lot more to lose. I gained a lot back after my sleeve. I know what you mean about being scared. I don't have another appt with the surgeon until the end of April. They were going to switch it to a video appt because I'm in another state, but I think I'm going to ask them to keep it as a regular appt and make the drive up there for it. Of course, that would be 20+ hours round trip to have him more than likely tell me the same things I've heard on this site, so not sure yet.
I hope you break your stall and get those last 9 pounds off! I'll be watching for your posts and cheering you on:)
P.S. Isn't it at least a whole lot better to not have the reflux, etc.? I feel like a new person in that respect!

Thank you! It gives me hope that it will work. I've been reading the articles that OAGBPal sent a link to that is also very interesting. Definitely feeling better about it than I was just a few days ago.

Thank you!!! It really does help! And thanks for the link. I'm going to read every article!

I would guess that a whole lot of people on this forum have tried Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, Jenny Craig, etc. I have. If I could just stick to the program I never would have needed surgery. This was supposed to be the tool that was going to make me stick to it. Now I feel like I don't have that. I'm so sad that I went through this invasive surgery for what seems like no good reason. I mean literally crying, sad. I'm losing weight now, but I'm worried about 5 years from now, or 10 years from now...

Hello all!
I had gastric sleeve back in 2013. The weight slowly started to creep back on. Then, due to a number of circumstances, it ALL came back. For years I was having terrible heartburn/reflux, so my insurance paid for me to have revision surgery to gastric bypass.
I had the surgery 6 weeks ago (Jan 11th). I have never felt any restriction at all! At first I though it was because it was all liquids or mushy food. But for the last 2 weeks I've been eating chicken, crab meat, hamburgers (no bun), etc., and have not had anything that didn't agree with me. I can eat way more than what my list calls for, too. I only stop because I'm not hungry, or I'm tired of chewing.
I'm so sad about this. I'm worried that I'm going to fail again. I know I have to be accountable to myself, but if I was good at that I wouldn't have needed surgery... I just had such high hopes that with this tool I would get it right this time.

I would love to join a reset group! I had my baby and am trying to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and then continue on towards my ultimate goal.

169.8 today. Up again:( I'm getting soooooooo depressed! I do pretty well through the week but not so good on the weekends. It still doesn't seem like I should be gaining like this. I do have a bad thyroid but think my meds are at a good point. Guess I need to get in to the doctor's to be sure.

168.2 today. Only down 1 lb but was snowed in most of the weekend and was afraid I gained so I'm happy!

I've gained 2 lbs just since last Monday when the Valentine's Day challenge ended! I am so frustrated, but am going to try this again...starting weight is 169.2. My goal for this challenge is 160.
Thanks Susan!

167.2. So instead of losing I've gained 1.2 lbs over the 7 weeks. I have to keep trying, so I'll join the next challenge and try a different approach! Thanks Susan!

167.2 today. I'm so depressed! I'm gaining instead of losing:-(

I am 16 months out. I never made goal I still need to lose 40 pounds . My lowest weight was 173 in August. I had gained weight and was at 187 at my dr. Visit last week. Needless to say my surgeon challenged me to lose 10 pounds in two months. Told him I thouj my sleeve was broken. Turns out I have been grazing. I kept saying few snack won't hurt me. They have killed me and Im so mad at myself. I'm going to Paris in June and want to look fab.
This week went back to basics and have lost 6 pounds since monday. I have gone back to basics as everyone on here suggested and it works. 1 Protein shake in morning , greek yogurt for lunch. Lean Protein for snack when get home from work. Additional lean protein around 7 pm. Also have gotten in all my Water something I never did before. Keeping my carbs at 20 grams and my protein at 90. I am so grateful. That I have this forum to see that I'm not alone on this journey

165.8 this morning. Not much but finally going in the right direction!

I was 166.4 again yesterday morning. I understand if it's too late to log it, just that the holiday threw me off and I worked overtime today. Just finally got a chance to log on. Thanks!

166.4 today. I'm up .4 lbs. Disappointed in myself, but hoping it motivates me to do better this week!

This morning I weighed in at 166.0, and hope to lose 16 lbs to get to 150 by Valentine's Day!

I entered a post to join the challenge but think I should have done it here. Am I doing it wrong? I want to lose 16lbs by Valentine's day.

I'd like to join the challenge! My goal is to get down to 150, which is about 16 pounds. I've been stuck for so long, and now re-gaining. I know the support will help.
