Much needed help from my September Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery 9.25.13. I am down 40lbs from my surgery date. I know I have and overeating disorder that I just can't get a handle on. Drug addicts go to rehab and stay away from drugs. We can't stay away from eating, especially when stressed. I was hoping to at lest be down 80lbs by now. I go to therapy for my issues. My therapist suggested I come back here to get support and to realize I am not the only one. Is anyone else having problems?

yes, I was sleeved in Sept too and am only down 53lbs. Wishing I was down much more. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying to cut out bread. At lunch I ask for the ingredients of a sandwich in a container. Muffins though are hard. It helps that my bf only likes salads for the most part

ETA - I apologize, I am a year slow apparently...I meant to be checking out the September 2012 board...however, my post below could still be helpful!

I had lost over 80 pounds and have gained back almost 40 of that. I weighed this morning and weighed 260.6. OMG. Over 260. For some reason it didn't bother me as much when I was back into the 250s...

I am in the process of reading a book called Crave - about binge eating. So far, it is really good and has some really good insight if you struggle with it like I do. The part I am on right now talks about journaling what you eat, why you feel you eat it (are you truly hungry, or bored, or avoiding something - I eat to avoid work and emotions). I use myfitnesspal and have been using the "today's food notes" on it to write down everything I am thinking about food - and the time.

I am also going back to the gym at lunch (today was day 1)...it stinks...I am waiting for the magic day that it no longer feels like a chore...I am so not there yet. LOL. Guess it will take more than one day and more than sporadic attendance.

And I also came back to this site...for more support. I have my support group tonight IRL but use all the support I have available to me.

I have a tendency to look at my weight loss journey as an all or nothing thing - that I should go from where I am right now, to perfect overnight...I have to remind myself it doesn't work that way. I am going to try to pick ONE thing to work on each week. This week - more Water...

Hope something out of my brain dump helps...and I hope it made sense LOL

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
