Any Colorado sleevers?
Veronica Page replied to Sadlers1999's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
hey locals. I'm slipping into old habits and was so close to getting into onelander but i'm a stress eater and life happened. It would be great to talk to people who are local. -
I haven't been on in about two months cause I wasn't really losing anything. My doctor gave me a scolding and said I should of reached goal already and that was discouraging a bit. So I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I have pcos and still trying to find the right balance for that and lose weight at the same time. I guess I'm just making sure I'm not gaining anything. Hope everyone is doing well and staying strong!

thanks @bewell. I'm getting over it. I was whining and wishing I could cool breeze it til goal but I was heavier than most who started when I did so I can't really beat myself up. Where I haven't lost weight recently I have gain muscle and look a lot leaner then I did. 2016 is my year to get to my personal goal and make my life what I want it to be. 25 more pounds and I'm having my stomach done, I never wanted to really be thin as I want to be healthy and I think that is where I stand. I feel like I have 5-8lbs of excess skin on my tummy and some on my inner thighs. I gained 2 inches in my booty due to the 200 squats I do a day and I feel pretty good. I need to have my kitchen on lock down after 7 cause thats when I start roaming it like a rodent eating things for no reason. So weird how I never wanted to eat to now I really want to eat again. Stinks and wish those desires were cut out with my stomach. On the best side my skin and hair looks amazing and I feel pretty for once!

What do you guys think I'm doing wrong?
Veronica Page posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
OK so I had my surgery January 12th, 2015. I'm thrilled I've lost the weight I have but I was a lil bit more on the heavier side them a lot of people I have seen on here and less then some others and they are losing quite steady. I work out 5 days a week 45 mins cardio and 30 mins strength training with my trainer. I gave up fast food and 90% of carbs. I did not say I was going to give everything up for the rest of my life so I'm eating them. Everything is ok in moderation correct, My daily caloric intake 800-1000. Just want some pointers since most of you have lost 100 lbs in 6 months or less. What are you doing that I'm not so I can feel that this is worth the really hard work I'm putting into everything. I'm one of those sick ppl who eat when I'm down and quit when I don't lose. Yes I know I have done pretty well and everything I just want that lil bit more. Thanks for all the advice in advance! -
Picking myself up and starting again.

thanks for the words of encouragement I really want to beat this fight of the bulge. I did think the honeymoon would be over so fast and that it would get so hard. I will keep trying cause I deserve it and I think that if I could just remember that I will win!

I'm trying I signed up with my trainer today and bough some meal prep containers and completely threw out every single piece of junk food in my house. plus I gave my debit card to my husband and said if I'm not with you then I don't need it cause a drive thru is very tempting. i need to just get motivated. If I could lose this weight I gained and breath a little I would be ok. So I guess the new year it what I need to get back in track.

I'm having some major issues. I was doing sooo great then in November my son was sick most of it and I had to take off work and not go to the gym and I got super depressed and still in a way am. I'm incredibly upset I'm not anywhere near goal and of course ppl still are calling me really fat which is not helping at all. I have basically given up. I don't care anymore.

I gained 10 lbs and have not eaten anywhere near the amount to gain wth?

I'm hating the old feeling of not losing and trying really hard, feeling the old well its not working just give up montage coming back. I'm doing a huge pouch reset recommended to me by my surgeon. Its for two weeks and I will tell you I'm having the pre op headaches and head hunge. I'll get through it just tough not losing anything for month on end.
-
I tell them as i'm ordering I'll immediately need a to go box and since my family always does appetizers I just keep that tiny plate and eat what fits on the plate as my main meal.

Don't buy it! Today I went to GNC and bought a protein cookie because I've been craving cookies. I have planned my entire day eating around this cookie. I just reuse to give in to mindless eating anymore. If I am going to snack, it ill be with a purpose. Plan, plan, plan! You've come too far to stop now.
-
Eat your protein first. Then wait 30-45 minutes. You still want that treat? Fine. But it doesn't mean the treat can have *you.* Take 3 to 4 bites and put it away. If you can't deal with it sitting their staring at you (you know how some foods seem to have accusing eyes) then toss it out or stick it in the freezer or do any of the alternative behaviors you've developed for yourself. LOG your treat. Better yet, LOG it before you eat it. Look at the numbers. Still want it?
-
Thanks for the encouragement...I know what my problem i. Old habits I don't see progress so I slip back into the old way of thinking and it says screw it just eat whatever it doesn't matter. I locked up all the junk food and gave the key to my family so I don't have access to it. Tomorrow is a new day! You guys are my rock!

Mindless eating lately and I don't know how to stop!

I have heard of some people having that issue but it was diet issue. They were eating still to lose and not maintain. a caloric intake issue and still working out will cause some issues if you aren't eating enough of course. I wish you luck but I'm not much help since I'm still no where near goal. Good luck and keep us informed!

PRE-OP LIQUID DIET CHEATER
Veronica Page replied to Miss_Sleeve_Bound's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't be discourage but feeling like you are some kind of crazy cheater. I haven't read every ones post on this thread so i'll just speak from personal experience when my surgeon put me on a month long diet as just a pre op. I have admitted addiction to food and I knew it was going to be so hard for me to handle. I mean we didn't get heavy cause we binge eat on veggies and lean Protein right? So i had to do some real soul searching. I wrote down everything I hated about being overweight. It wasn't just the vanity issues either. It was real like feeling tired and old and hurting all the time cause I was too heavy for my little frame. I wasn't willing to do this to myself anymore. So I joined a group to help me be able to talk about my addiction with others who could relate me. Can my 130 lbs nut even relate while telling me what to do? I didn't think so. So I went and then got a therapist for some one on one time. Cause I'm an emotional stress eater. I avoid places like the plague. Stopped bringing in crappy foods into my house. Had a discussing with my family about support. It was tough and I didn't beat myself up when I slipped. I just got back on my horse and said ok again, try again. I can say it hard and I cried cause I wanted to eat. I got mad and blamed my family cause they indulged me cause they loved me and food made me happy. When I lost the required weight and had surgery I was so grateful and now I'm truly happy that I stuck it through and did what I did. Its almost 10 months out and I don't live to eat, I eat to live. Its still a struggle time to time and the weight loss stalls can be discouraging but I would of never lost this weight without the surgery. So keep your eyes forward and towards your ultimate goal and it will help you stick to your diet. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sure you will do fantastic! -
no weight loss for two months depressing!

good weight loss motivation...eat in front of a mirror naked!

@@bewell it is a slippery slope, you get comfortable and semi lazy and think look i'm doing so well I can have a little bit of this and that it won't affect me. Next thing you know, you are up 5 lbs and can get the mental thoughts well darn forget it and just start eating the old way again. That is what happened to me this week. I gained a pound or two and then got sick and when I saw a 5 lb weight gain and said forget it for a day or two and then today snapped out of it and said up what am i doing? So I got up went to the gym ate pretty well so far and realize this is going to take hard work and determination for the rest of my life. I go to an over eaters group every other week and I didn't think I was going to need it for this long but I definitely do and don't even remotely feel bad about it. You don't develop an eating issue overnight and it is going to take more than a couple of sessions to fix it. I'm an emotional and stress eater and my job causes a lot of that, along with kids, marriage, friends and family. I know people have a life but this forum and website keeps me on track and reminds me I'm not the only one struggling daily and if I need help there are so many people here to help me out! I'm crossing my fingers for you and your success. I still have a ways to go but I'm just glad that I'm not what I was anymore.
