I am trying to cut out bread. At lunch I ask for the ingredients of a sandwich in a container. Muffins though are hard. It helps that my bf only likes salads for the most part

Am looking for any local sleevers

Had my surgery 9.25.13. I am down 40lbs from my surgery date. I know I have and overeating disorder that I just can't get a handle on. Drug addicts go to rehab and stay away from drugs. We can't stay away from eating, especially when stressed. I was hoping to at lest be down 80lbs by now. I go to therapy for my issues. My therapist suggested I come back here to get support and to realize I am not the only one. Is anyone else having problems?

If ever I needed a support group or buddy, now is the time. I feel very worthless and down. I had surgery in September. To date I have lost 50lbs. I should be so far more ahead yet I have been stuck at the same weight since November. I can't seem to control what I eat and I am stuffing myself beyond. I really need to hear that I am not alone and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am do glad I am not alone. It hss been so hard. I think of any excuse. I'm so tired in tbe morning I have to stop at Dunkin Donuts for coffee (iced mocha) I am literally addicted. I am stressed so I NEED and DESERVE to have chocolate. I am getting do discouraged. I want so badly to lose weight but I feel like I will never see it.

Thank you all for the in the pants. Sometimes you need to be called out :-)

My surgery was 9/25 HW 292 SW 286 CW 248 Ive been stuck here wsy too long. Any advice?

I eat a lot of salads and chicken, cheese, granola bars, fruit. I also eat not the greatest foods. I know I am my own worst enemy. I try to remember to drink my protein shakes and drink more. I am a huge stress and bordum eater and have been really busy and stressed at work, the snacks people bring on are killing me. Not to mention being tired and bored at night. I need to pull up my big girl pants and get back on the wagon but its sooo hard

I am getting so frustrated. Like my screen name, I am an addict and know I have to do a lot of work but I have gotten off track. I don't eat horribly but I am not eating "diet" food. I had my surgery 9/25/13. My starting weight was 292, my pre-surgery weight was 286 and I am now down to 247-249 depending on the day. I have been this weight for 2.5 months. I can't eat a lot THANK GOD! so why am I not losing at all. I really could use a boost and some encouragement. I am afraid to go back to the doctor for my last follow up this month because I haven't moved the scale at all since the last visit. Everyone says my face is thinner but I am not seeing any progress.

I found out is was my laxative. Lol

I use great protein shake bits pre-made. Premiere Protein. I get it from BJs but I know Costco has it too. I bring to work and just sip for an hour and I get it down. It tastes good too. My boyfriend drinks them as a snack filler. I too and wishing for Onederland. Good luck everyone

I was sleeved 9/25/13. Starting weight 292 surgery weight 263 current weight 249. I'm stuck. Admittedly not eating the greatest and have strayed. Even though I can only eat a little at a time, I am finding it hard during the holidays. What are your secrets?

His season is very frustrating but great all at once. My brain is saying eat more and more. My stomach is like nope! I need to choose smarter. I forget to plan my strategy and eat something with bread and I'm done! Also remembering to eat slow and SMALL BITES!!! The hardest is saying no. Thank goodness for m boyfriend. He pulls the plate away from me and eats my leftovers when family members disregard your instructions and fill your plate. 3 weeks and the holiday eating will be done. Funny, after 4 or 5 bites I feel like Violet Beauregard from Charlie and the chocolate factory. On the upside I broke the 250 barrier!!! 49 lbs until the 100's!!!!

Great way of looking at it. I wasn't smart with what I ate but I didn't have control over the menu. I just loved every thing I ate. I guess in the grand scheme of things, my sleeve was a total blessing yesterday
