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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
