I had my sleeve surgery may 2012. At the beginning of my journey I was 298.....I am currently 199 and I'm very upset disappointed and let down. I've fallen back into old habits. I need help from my fellow sleevers to help me push to lose the other 49 pounds I want to lose. I am starting tomorrow back on my shakes. Please feel free to contact me with help motivation tips or whatever you got

Much love

fallen back into old habits

@@jwaller75

i see you just found our lovely little group and joined us this month

welcome welcome, and welcome :)

not sure if i can tell, have you gained weight??

hope not

but if you did that's ok

you are back on track

if you didn't gain.......woohoo :)

knowing the problem is half the battle

so you are half way there!! :)

good for you on starting shakes again

that will give you that helpful push

do you remember all the rules???

do you still have a NUT (nutritionist) you can talk with, ask questions

if not, maybe you could find to a NUT a couple of times for some assistance / help

"we" are all here to share our experiences, answer questions, give suggestions and give support :)

but we are not doctores

we can't "officially" tell you things you should do medically -a doc needs to advice you

you need to find a doc for that

always listen to a doc

family doc???

kathys' partial refresher course 101 ;)

FREE today!!!!

stop drinking 1/2 hour before you eat

don't drink with meals :angry:

don't drink for 45-60 minutes after you eat

drink at least 64 oz of Water daily

small/moderate portions

when you eat

have Protein first

as much as possible - 40,50,60 etc

dense Protein like chicken will help you feel full quickly

watch your carbs

don't drink soda :angry:

use myfitness pal to track your food

excercise

walking is good

you have done so well

you lost 100 lbs (ok 99, but close enough)

not a shrink, but you might have uncontinuously tried to sabotage yourself

maybe you were getting so close towards goal doing so well, you got scared

decided to go back to those bad habits

KNOCK IT OFF! :lol:

you made the smart decision last year to lose weight with the help of the sleeve

you were doing great!!!

i know you can get back on track

i have confidence in you :)

get back on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life

who deserves it more

good luck

kathy

This happens to a lot of people specially when they lose very quickly because you have not had time to adjust and learn from old mistakes.

You can do the 5daypouchtest to get you back on track www.5daypouchtest.com and then you need to get really mentally in tune and listen to your body. don't eat when you are not hungry and do not wait until you are full to stop...do not eat fatty junk foods..just tell yourself I don't eat that ...don't say I cant eat that....denying yourself will just make you want it more...just be resolved and say, I do NOT eat that ....

Drink your Water, and I think after the 5 day pouch test you will be back to the basics and you will have found your groove again.

You went though too much to let this happen....Dont wait to start, start now right this minute right this second regardless of what you already ate today.

Good luck and I hope you find it in yourself to want to finish the game.

      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!!
