Hello again!! I haven't logged on in about one year!! Well, here is a little background on my journey. I was sleeved May 1st 2012. I have lost 75 lbs. I have not lost any weight in about 5 months, i have actually gained 20 lbs. I am SICK that this has happened and totally embarrassed. Am I the only one lol? I feel like a failure and I fear I have just completely screwed up. Is my sleeve ruined? Any advice at all is appreciated. Thanks

You haven't "ruined" your stomach, it's still smaller than it was pre-sleeve...

The best thing you can do is get back to basics

Protein and veg. Cut out the processed food and exercise

We fall back into old habits. Candy, cookies, pies, cakes and carbs. Luckily I don't have a sweet tooth. Carbs are the bad thing. Did you inow that your liver swells with fluie when we a diet high in carbs. Learned that with my 2 week diet before surgery. Omiting carbs helped me lose 1 pound a day for 2 weeks. Result, My liver shrunk 50%

We have a vets forum here too. Check it out.

You can hop onto one of the threads there where we are supporting each other with things like regain and not at goal yet

Thank y'all so much! My husband support me but I have nobody to talk to about these things!!

Yeah, this happens. On the bright side though, you gained 20, not 50, not 70 or 100. You can still get this under control. Hell, you could lose 20 pounds by the new year if you wanted.

I preach the gospel of myfitnesspal and measuring.

Thanks for the encouragement !!! I'll try myfitnesspal! Thanks!

I prefer the lose it app and the nike fuel band. It keeps me honest with exercise calories!! You're fine just refocus.
