I'm just glad I'm not alone on this. It's hard getting back in track. I find my old "Dieting" ways returning. I need motivation to get to the gym. I don't get it, I LOVE working out when I get there, I just have no motivation and 100 excuses

My dreaded weigh-in[attachment=73441:IMG_1705.JPG

Good Sunday morning to all of you [emoji322]. It's been a struggle lately. Since surgery (12/2014) I have been struggling with hormonal fluctuations more than I ever had before. I have 2 good weeks where I can take over the world, then 2 horrible ones. I have PMDD anyway, so it's been rough. Since I've been on here with all of you and checked in with a weight of 168, I've gone to 164-171. It's hard, but we're doing it!

I'm hitting the 3 yr post op December 3. This is defiantly a challenging experience. My hormones have gone totally bananas ever since the sleeve surgery. Either that or I'm slowly turning peri-menopausal lol

@chiquitabananaz14 I am one of those people who haven't posted in a couple weeks. When I feel good I post, when I'm down I stay away. I'm almost 3 yrs Post op and my mind feels back to square one. I'm full of excuses, I eat to much and exercise 0. I am the only one to blame. When I started here on this blog I was so excited ( and still am) that I wasn't alone. But, I make myself alone by avoiding the people who can support me the most. I was 168 when I posted my first weight and now I'm 171. What have you done to help regain control? In a way I feel like I have given up.

Have a happy 4th ladies!

Pizza is my battle food! I have made chicken pizza crust once. It's super good.

I ran out of Bariatric vitamins. I'm looking for a complete one where I only need to take one kind. What ones do you prefer?

Thank you[emoji3] I've been neglecting for some time now. This topic seems like it was made for me.

As you can tell by the dust it's been a while lol

This makes it all real.....

I suppose it's time for my scale pic In the morning! Lol

So it's June 13 and I haven't had peanut butter since the beginning of lent

This isn't so much of a cross addiction, but, more of an eye opener. I have been sober for 9 years. I also have not smoked for 9 years as well. I have only considered the possibility of having another addiction and that is to coffee. Until this week. In NH we had a bad snow storm a few weeks ago. I was shopping with the rest of the crazies for the essentials. I was standing In front of the peanut butter. I wasn't sure what size to get because " we're getting a lot of snow and I do t want to run out!" I got the 4lb jar. When I got home I dated the top of it. I finished it in 10 days. I so ashamed. I then started thinking. This is identical to how my drinking was. If I couldn't have all the drinks I wanted.... I didn't want any. Well, same thing with Peanut Butter. If I have to measure it, I don't want any of it. I see a therapist and told her about it yesterday for the first time. I am now afraid that if I overcome this ( cold turkey and it with PB2) what will I go for? What new potential addiction is waiting for me?. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree. Sunday?

Thank you for your support [emoji16]. I am constantly beating myself up. My way of life has always been " all or nothing", I'm a very black and white. As silly as this may seem but, when I read " one small change at a time" really clicked and made sense. I'll eliminate my cracker consumption. That's a true crutch lately. I weighed myself yesterday. I've gained 10 lbs.

Hi Gals! I haven't come to visit since I joined the group,as I have found myself in the same boat. I have been down and ignoring myself since. But I am now inspired by all you women and want to get back on track. I should take a pic of the scale and post in the morning. Because it's almost 2 pm and I'd be crazy to weigh myself now lol

Were all here for each other on this topic. Some other people seem to be " flawless" in their weight loss with no problems and wonder why we gain. Well, I keep it real, the struggle is real and we all need a shoulder to lean on when we hit the difficult moments[emoji173]️

This is the thread I have been searching for! I have also regained some and have given in to many no no's which landed me at 250 prior to surgery. I stopped counting calories, I weighed my food....twice and now I just feel helpless and hopeless again. The support here seems just what we need gals! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Hello, I'm about 2.5 years out of surgery. But, I still sometimes feel totally clueless about this Sleeve I got. I Looked at pictures from a year or so ago yesterday, I'm still the same size, believe me, 163 is better than 260. But, I can't seem to get a grip. I've posted on here my issues, bad moments and sometimes good moments. But, I still feel like I failed because my mind has a hold of me ALL THE TIME. I spoke to my therapist ( I've been with her for 5 years) I want to know what's my reasoning for emotional eating, causes ya know? So far, nothing really. I hear the Big Book on Gastric sleeve is a good one

Hi! I am going to celebrate my 2 yr post op anniversary. I am about 15-20 lbs from Goal. I am very disappointed in myself. I gave up, And gave in to my old ways. For months now, it's been that way. However, my body is getting pudgy and soft. Same weight up and down a few lbs but, soft. I need to get back to the gym and eating right. I get my protein but am clueless in how to eat again. Sounds silly, but it's the truth. Any help or criticism appreciated Tracy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had he sleeve done 12/14. Since 18 mo the post op I have terrible heartburn and it gets so bad sometimes I vomit and it does t go away for over an hour. Even with prescription meds given for this reason. I never had this before the sleeve. Would that be a reason to have the MGB? I'm so lost. My dr just keeps putting me o. Things . Carafate, 20mg Prilosec, liquid Zantac all hat wonderful stuff

I'm 2.5 years out. I can eat two pieces, not all the crust though. That chicken crust pizza is soo good and leaves me with no guilt! I've never had any issues with tolerance ( even though I wish I did lol ) But, I've maintained the same weight for about 1.5 years. I feel great and try not to sweat the small stuff. If I eat bad, we all will at some point ( unless you have solid gold will power ) I shake it off and look at what I have accomplished and chalk it up to a bad day.

My wonderful husband brought home a lovely stomach virus last Thursday. Vomiting, diarrhea, chills all the wonderful things that go with it. I know hear type of viruses last about 48-72 hours. He was fine a out a day and a half later. I then got it Saturday night ( march 18). All the fun stuff has ended as of Sunday. I still am having a lot of nausea. I'm beginning to think it's not the virus anymore. I haven't taken my vitamins, I've had 1/2 of a protein shake,, living on crackers, broth and sugar free popsicles since the 18th. It's now almost the 22nd. I ate a quest bar I hoped to get some protein in. Well, I ended up so nauseous about an hour later. I think I'm gonna call my Surgeons office tomorrow. I'm just worried about the lack of protein and vitamins. No appetite.... blaaa

I can't believe it's been two years already! How is everyone doing? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
