I haven't regained since I've only been in maintenance a few months, but my old habits and relationship with food are still there. It's truly a mental thing. I get hungry, but not that ravenous hangry kind of hunger I use to get. Food still tastes good and I still like it. For me, I have to stay the course 80% of the time and allow myself small treats or I feel deprived and am likely to go in a carb fest.

1 day post-op... am I drinking too much?
sleevenv replied to FeelingFancy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You also just may be numb right now. It was harder for me at two weeks out then it was the first few weeks -
My biggest regret is not being diligent in following the plan right from the start. At nine months out, my old habits and addictions are rearing their ugly heads! I still am bad about drinking water.

What are your other addictions/ obsessions?
sleevenv replied to Fatty McFatster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Angels baseball. I'm pathetic. I need to buy a treadmill so I'd at least walk while watching. -
Uh, yes! Perfectly normal for many. It's major surgery. Get a chill pill and it'll help!

It must be the 9 month itch. I'm almost to goal and I'm slacking on sticking with my food plan. Fortunately, I'm really getting into running. I NEVER thought that'd happen. But I haven't lost in two months. I'm so friggin close.

Having a very hard and discouraging time at the plateau
sleevenv replied to arex's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Meal plan! Your wife and you, together, should spend a few hours each weekend to shop, plan, and prepare all your meals for the week. You'll be off and losing again in no time, and you'll command more respect from your wife. Let her help! -
I'm in. Starting weight 139. Goal weight 135.

You go girl! There's nothing like getting an education to boost your self live and respect! Especially when we can fit into the chairs more comfortably!

How do I add photos to my post?
sleevenv replied to Bluesky1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There's a little plus sign in the bottom left. Click on that and it'll let you take a photo to add, or let you upload one from your photo file. -
My surgeon and NUT said 99% of leaks occur in first 90 days. I was cash pay and my payment included a supplementary insurance policy to cover complications including leaks. The insurance was for only 90 days because that's when leaks occur. That being said, I'm not saying you should overeat, but I'm pretty sure a leak after the first few months isn't really the issue with overeating.

Protein and calorie deficits after surgery
sleevenv replied to yarnismyantidrug's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If you feel that much better, use it! You will be able to consume a lot more protein within a month or two and can stay away from supplements then. But you definitely will eat your muscle if you don't have enough protein. There are plenty of us on here that have done great with using supplements in the beginning. I'm eight months out and almost never use supplements any more, but I can eat a lot more now. -

Syntrax users, anybody try the Lemon Tea flavor?
sleevenv replied to Susan66's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I mix it in a sports bottle that you can't see through. Much better when you can't see it. -
When is it not a stall?
sleevenv replied to marypups's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me, I had to eat more to start losing again after implementing a running program. Just don't add bad carbs--complex carbs will get you losing again. -
I'm in. CW 142.2. Goal 137.
