This was the plan I was given, maybe it would help. I am tired, but everyday gets better.

Sleeved 7/6

I make sure I have a water bottle or a bottle with liquids around at all times. Every time I want to grab for something, I grab my Water bottle. I don't want to grab for food so much any more, but I want my bottle of water. Helps to get my liquids in, and I make sure I stay away from grazing.

I suspect you know the answer to this and know what you are supposed to be doing. Are you getting enough Water? If you are following the "rules" about not drinking for half an hour just before and after eating, and not drinking while eating, you can't both graze and drink enough water, can you? It's hard to break old habits, but if not now, when?

I'm sorry you are having a rough time.

I had my surgery the same day as you! There is something called the week 3 stall- Google it. Mine was a few days early. Although I didn't gain, I experienced several days where the scale didn't move. Iy will move again, I promise you.

Some people say don't weigh yourself more than once a week (I break that rule and do it every day, but if I go up a pound or two I don't let it devistate me). I've had days I drop 4-5 pounds, followed by days I gain back a pound or two. Keep your eyes on the big picture.

You know darned well that in the long run you are going to lose. You can't be putting much more in your mouth than I or anyone else can, it's inevitable.

Don't forget, you are a woman. We men have it easy when it comes to dropping weight. Sometimes it takes you ladies a bit longer. But don't let that discourage you!

Best of luck and keep your chin up- you made a great decision to have this surgery!

I think k the only person who can help is yourself are exercising getting enough Water?
