You Can Gain Weight With The Sleeve



Recommended Posts

OK ... Time for honesty ... Since the birth of my son on October 11 to now, I have gained 10 pounds from my "preferred" weight. I have gone off plan, eatten Cookies, cakes and all the treats around for the holidays. In my past life, I would have blown this off as "anyone would have gained weight with the holidays". But, the new me needs to be accountable and know that only I choose what I put in my mouth and what happens to my body. I need my Sleever Friends to support me. Keep me accountable. Each Monday I am going to weigh and report my progress. I feel my best around 127 with a bounce of down to 125 to 130. So, my goal is to get back to 127 as soon as I can in a safe and responsible manner. Are you up for supporting me & giving me a kick in the pants if I fall off plan? Thanks in advance guys!

Of course we will support you! I think it is great for us to be there for each other. I wanted to thank you for sharing this. Today was NOT a good day for me since I was around some amazing food at my inlaws. I was snacking all day and I ate way too much. Seeing this is helping ME get back on track too. I know you can do this! Congrats on your baby boy!

Keep staying focused,go back to basics and jump start your weight loss. Your baby boy will work it off you. Eat Protein first, use a small plate, drink lots of Water and exercise. You know what works for you. You can't eat sweets, breads, etc. Get down to business! ;)

You can do it ! I believe in you ..(sounds corney but true) you can make your sleeve work for you..back to Protein, protein... protein. Write every single thing you eat down or save it on a phone app (I love fat secret). work on your fluids andexercising and you wont have time to want those Snacks.< /p>

You are not alone my sleeve friend... I too had an amazing chrimbo and gained a few pounds above my 'bounce weight' (I love that saying)... I am back to basics and this is day two and doing well... you can do this... you know you can!

I am determined to get to my surgeon's goal this year... so together we are in it to win it!

Good luck and let us know how you're doing! =]

Coops - I have missed you!

I know I can win it. Just hate that I let myself do this, but I what is done is done.

I'm going to start knitting again so that my hands are too busy to eat. So, if I'm not holding the baby, I'll be holding my knitting needles. blush5.gif

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
