So, I think this takes an entire overhaul of your lifestyle.

That doesn't happen overnight and there is always some backsliding, tripping up and do overs. Even so, it is the keeping trying, keeping asking for help and support and being self reflective enough to recognize when you are drifting back to old, bad patterns.... seems to me you are doing that.

I have lost weight great with the sleeve, but there were a couple of months where my weight loss was only like 5-6 pounds. I realized I was heading for being one of those people who did "pretty good" but didn't really change. I picked myself up and have been kicking butt since about the Oct timeframe. I now truly believe I will make goal and I think anybody can do the same thing.

The thing that i keep reminding myself is that even when I weighed 300# I never gave up - I am bringing that same tenacity for keeping and improving my new fit body!

Thanks Quita for posting this thread. I haven't had my surgery yet (hoping for Feb/March), but it helps me see that the surgery isn't a quick fix for my weight problem. I have to make a lifestyle change. I've been seeing my physician the last few months for the insurance required diet and I haven't really been taking it serious. I just keep thinking that once I get the sleeve i'll be forced to eat smaller amounts and currently I'm not being forced to do it; therefore, I haven't lost any weight...I've actually gained a few over the holidays. I need to change my way of thinking. I'm going to sit down tonight and write all the reasons that I need/want the WLS and then I'm going to list all the habits and food that I need to "divorce". Maybe I should try a food funeral likes others have joked about. This June will be 3 years since I've had a soda. Not sure where that control comes from, but I know that I can change my lifestyle if I put my mind to it. I just need a jump start...I guess. Or a kick in the butt. Good luck Quita and take care!
