    JP69 got a reaction from becogolfer in 1 year out....6 months of stall   
    Sorry to hear you've been stalling. We all do at some point, some more or longer than others. Its time for you to get back to basics! Revert back to the beginning, high protien lots of Water, lowfat you know the drill. Dont terhink you've fail. You have already lost an extreme amount of weight, so you know have the tools to start losing again:) Get back on track, start making better choices, you can do it, you've already proven that by the weight you have lost:) Good luck and have faith.

    Exactly. Was it my posts you were referring to when saying "don't let them believe you can eat what you want"?
    I decided before getting my lapband almost 4 yrs ago that I was thru with dieting. I AM thru with dieting, even after my sleeve revision 9 weeks ago. I eat WHATEVER I want and still manage to lose because I eat so little.
    Now, what I want changes from day to day. Somedays I want tilapia and broccoli and other days I want 1/3 of an In and Out Burger cheeseburger. It makes 3 meals for me so I'm still under the 1000 calories I've allotted for myself.
    If I'm not happy with my day to day life, what makes me think I'll be happy 120 lbs thinner, eating nothing but Protein and veggies? I eat a variety of food (which includes occasional donuts - or may I say about 1/3 of a donut- and fast food)
    Whether we want it to or not our life revolves around food, whether it's healthy food or not. I'd rather not obsess over every little calorie that goes into my mouth. Makes me happier to focus on my new size 6 skinny jeans!
    You have to do what YOU have to do. If thats watching every single calories, grams of carbs and Protein than thats that. I'd rather focus on what I'm gunna watch on tv tonite, personally! It's why I got the surgery - so I could quit obsessing about every bite of food that goes into my mouth...
    But thats just me...

    It just depends on the person. I don't have cheat days, I just eat what I want. Not saying I eat junk food, I eat very healthy everyday, but when I do want something I do eat it, but in moderation. I wasnt a candy or junkfood person so for me its a little easier to control. my deal was just good food and a lot of it. Each of us is different and your right dont listen to other people about what you can and cant eat. learn your body, know your weaknesses and be succussesful.

    JP69 got a reaction from FRED1977 in Will I still enjoy cooking for my Family after Sleeve?   
    Most everyone agrees the same on this, there is a short period where its not very enjoyable because if the liquid diet, then soft foods etc.. especially if like me i still had to cook for my family everday. but when yo
    u can start eating small amounts of your meals again you get back to enjoying it.

    No doubt your hitting a rough patch:( Hang in there. I too have lost alot of hair, and I had really pretty hair. I'm 61/2 months and it has slowed downed coming out. As far as sunken eyes, we are losing weight rapidly, I had bags and wrinkles all of a sudden and freaked out, but now at 61/2 months my skin is starting to look much better and I only have wrinkles when I don't get enough sleep:)
    Hang in there it will start to improve and you shouldn't loae all your hair. Just get your protien in and lots of Water and Vitamins. In a few more months you'll kook and feel likw a whole new person! Good Luck:-)

    JP69 got a reaction from DebCat in One Month Post-Op and still feel BLAH.   
    It does get better, try just getting your protien down and Water or any liquid. I had days where one day I couldn't even fold laundry without feeling weak as hell, but the next day had more energy. Started to eat more cheese, yogurt and fish, overall just protien till my energy level picked up. Now 61/2 months later that feels like years ago. Hang in there, your body is in recovery, and everyone heals at different rates.
