    Don't be so hard on yourself this is only a tool kiddo . Just go back to the 5 day pouch reset . 2 days of liquid 2 days of very soft foods and 5 th day back to soft Proteins and stop the eating if possible that stuff is habit forming and this is what we have to train ourselves to do it is all about you . food is an addiction and you will see how you shouldn't eat on the five day reset . Always think of your stomach as about the size of 2 boiled eggs and eat slow and only put that much in . You will feel full and don't drink fluids with or 30 minutes before or after eating . This allows your body to absorb what it needs . Other than that you flush it out to quick and it puts it into starvation mode. So everything you eat will go where you don't want it to . Drink lots of Water between meals . It does curb your appetite a bit and drink a Protein shake in between if you think you really need something else .

    You got this kiddo you can do it .

    We all go through a stall at 3 to 4 months . So don't feel like it's just you .

    I am 20 months out and was 200lbs down but gained 18lbs over 3 months and now am back on track so this reset does work on your stomach and your mind .

    Your mind is your biggest enemy

    Then it is usually the none supporters around you that have no idea what you are going through this is no easy task it is the easy way out for sure.

    70 pounds is a lot of weight in 4 months. I started at 385 and I'm only down 90 so comparatively you're doing really good. Keeping track of everything you eat is always a good sign. I also have lost fair amount to wait in the last 2 weeks because I've been doing the pre-op liquid diet with my husband. It seemed to break my stall. If you find yourself eating stuff you shouldn't be, why not go back a stage or two? Go back to my mushies or to pure liquid for a couple of days.

    Pick a date and do a reset of some-what of a pre-op diet. Protein shakes, and cooked veggies and just cut out the carbs. No bread, Pasta. And walk, if you don't have a fitbit I recommend it , depending on which on you have or want to get it will yell at you to do your steps. I love my fitbit it makes me walk or step. And You can just do steps in your home and it will count it. Its hard to be around enablers, have a sit down conversation with them. Stock up on the yogurt, Jello, broth, if they are eating food you want grab your yogurt or a Protein shake or leave the room. Don't let them dictate or sabotage your weight goal. And remember we are here on the board for you! You can have the burger just make it at home, and no bread and use a George foreman so the grease drops. You can do this! And you look ahhhmazing!

    Carrie which Fitbit do you have and have you heard of the reset working? I have been feeling like I'm able to hold more... I wonder if my stomach has stretched too much?

    I think a face to face support group would be a good idea! Plus, getting a nutrients. I paid to have mine for a year. And this group is so much help. BTW, I think you Remember looking fabulous, so keep it up and try to stay off those burgers. My surgery is Jan 31, 2017 so I can't speak about after surgery and am sure I will have my struggles. Good luck!

    I agree, face to face accountability would work better for me I think! Good luck on your surgery and I look forward to being a pin pal and seeing your success!!!❤️

    You are looking amazing, keep it up. Use my fitness pal to track what you are eating. If youre snacking constantly, choose healthy Snacks. Are you getting in all your Protein first every day? Are you working out? There is plenty of material on the Internet you can read and get yourself back on track where you need to be. Also, dont be so hard on yourself, youve made amazing progress!!!!

    Thanks Suanja for your kind words. I would be lying if I said I followed any of the instructions. No diet. No exercise, still grazing just in smaller portions. Smh I still don't see where I have lost anything. Mentally I need to get in the game otherwise this will continue to be a wasted opportunity.

    First off, you HAVE made great progress! Your body is doing its part. It is your mind that needs some work. Get your head where it needs to be.

    Do you have any local support? Even 1 person that is in your corner (that understands the process)?

    Thanks Berry! I unfortunately haven't found a local group since moving. My family isn't working thus two of us have fallen off the wagon so early on. I hope to use the app to get back on track with my eating habits and start working out.

    Guys I need help. I'm so ashamed. I had surgery Sept 16th but the whole process was rushed. I didn't take any of what the doctor said serious as I was just trying to have the miracle change happen quickly. I doctor hopped to speed getting under the knife and now four months out I feel like I'm grazing all day eating practically what I did prior to surgery. I literally was trying to eat a burger today! Of course I dang near killed myself to eat half but that's how stupid I've been with this whole process. I've lost some but no where near the significant amount 4 months out should have. I need a support group outside of my enabling family to help me reset my sleeve and get the weight loss I deserve. At my heaviest I was 290. I'm currently stalled at 220. I just need motivation and help getting on track with proper life changing dieting. I want to be committed and radiant by my birthday 7/7! post-311716-14854061236119_thumb.jpg post-311716-14854061312038_thumb.jpg
