It's ok, you can be that person again.

Tomorrow is a new day. If you mess up, try again.

Getting off track and gaining some weight does not mean your doomed.

Things happen, and now its time to get back on track.

Have faith!

Thank you.

I support you We're not obese for no reason, it's because we have made poor choices. Your sleeve is a tool, to restrict you from eating so much, not to help you make healthy choices. That is up to you on your own. How long ago were you sleeved? I was sleeved this March, and can't eat crackers, breads, rice, or pastas....it hurts. It is possible to stretch your sleeve, but don't freak out too much, you can still make this work. Try staying away from the "slider" foods, and see what happens. :D

Those words "I support you" feels good to read. Thanks.

it takes a lot of courage to reach out when you feel like you are failing...but you did reach out ... GOOD FOR YOU!!!

your sleeve is not broken, you are just off track. You know what to do, you know how to do it. You need to find that positive person in you again... Remember to write in your journal. Protein first....

You can do it! You have not gained it all back, you are still far from your starting weight and you can turn it around today. We are all here for you. Get back to the basics - Are you journaling your food? If you want to, feel free to add me on MyFitnessPal (Same name as here). You are brave to come back and admit you're having trouble, that in itself is a testament to your strength.

Hang in there and keep us updated! I know I am always looking for new friends, as well as many other people I have found across this board, so maybe some new friends will help add some support.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
