I am 16 months out. I never made goal I still need to lose 40 pounds . My lowest weight was 173 in August. I had gained weight and was at 187 at my dr. Visit last week. Needless to say my surgeon challenged me to lose 10 pounds in two months. Told him I thouj my sleeve was broken. Turns out I have been grazing. I kept saying few snack won't hurt me. They have killed me and Im so mad at myself. I'm going to Paris in June and want to look fab.

This week went back to basics and have lost 6 pounds since monday. I have gone back to basics as everyone on here suggested and it works. 1 Protein shake in morning , greek yogurt for lunch. Lean protein for snack when get home from work. Additional lean protein around 7 pm. Also have gotten in all my Water something I never did before. Keeping my carbs at 20 grams and my protein at 90. I am so grateful. That I have this forum to see that I'm not alone on this journey

Awesome! Thanks for the inspiration

Sorry thats snacking at night i need to real get my life back I feel like a failure and that I went through all that pain and suffering for nothing. Today my best friend mom is intp surgery imma try and get on her diet to get these plds off I remember my first month I lost 37 plds

I was feeling like failure also but you can do it.... We have the tools. I didn't lose 1 pound last week because of my cycle but I stayed on track for the most part. Ate one bad thing and got over it. Back on track. Also if your hungry or want to snack eat more protein at night. eat two dinners then drink water....that's what I did these last few days and lost another 1/2 pound. you can do this u have us to help you. We are in this together

I think we should challenge ourselves to just go 1 week at a time. That way we can look at smaller goals and work towards that. No celebrating until we hit say 5 pound lost.

I am 4 years post-op and have been slowly regaining weight over the past 12 months. I am now 20 pounds up and feeling again tired, discouraged and sad. My size 4 clothes are in a bag now, and my size 6 pants are now too tight. I cannot see myself buying or wearing size 8 again.

It is hard to quick start it again...

Hi everyone, it has been 1 month since I posted my weight. When I first started my reset I was 187. Now 5 weeks later I'm at 172.8 This has been hard but so rewarding. I found my willpower. Yesterday at work my team had pizza party and brownies and Oreo balls. I went into the room and talked and everything. What did I eat.....absolutely nothing. I drank my water. Everyone kept trying. To get me to eat and I was like no I'm dieting. In my mind I was thinking if I eat that then I won't lose tomorrow when I get on the scale and that's not worth it. This struggle is real but I truly believe we can achieve our goals and be successful....trying for 6 to 8 more pounds by my doctors appointment whic is March 27.

I've always had problems with middle of the night eating. It actually runs in my family and extended family. It got to the point a few years ago, when I would wake up in the morning and not recall getting up at night. Yet, there would be evidence that I did eat something at night on the table or counter. So, I started locking the cabinets and only keeping really healthy food in the fridge. Since weight loss surgery, I only keep vlasic dill pickles out (0 cal, 0 carbs, 0 fat, 0 sugar). Yes, they have no Protein, but I only eat them at the end of the day after already intaking 80-100 protein grams.

So, this has been my way to still have late night and middle of the night Snacks with no guilt and still lose weight. This may not be a solution for some, since not everyone likes pickles. If I'm craving something sweet, I just shake splenda on the pickles.

I'm really not crazy. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so they say.

I was very glad to see this topic. I am about 2 1/2 years out, never made goal (by about 15 lbs) and this fall gained about 10 lbs back. I know the grazing has killed me. Also, being able to better tolerate carbs too.

I have been trying to figure out what to do to get back on track. This week I statted with shakes as meal substitiutes with a nice high Protein low carb dinner. Hopefully I can get back on the right side of the scale movement.

I need a reset too!!!

I was sleeved 04/03/2012...not one complication and loved it! It's the best thing I've ever did for myself. I do tell my friends that it's the easiest but also the hardest thing...Easy because the weight just fell off but hard because it's always a mental game. Ahhh but I digress...

My lowest recorded weight was 159lbs...although I think my lowest was at 148lbs (after gall bladder surgery). I am now at 182lbs. GRR...I'm so disappointed in myself BUT I know that I can do it. I want this 20lbs off and I will get it off. I've been planning my meals and starting trying to get in my Water (emphasis on trying) and I start bikram yoga this weekend.

160..you're calling my name!

Wish Me Luck !

PS. If anyone needs an accountability partner...let me know

I want to do it too! Lets make a group?

Brazcan- Let's do it! I'm all for having a "take back the sleeve" suport group.

I'm in! I'm five years out. Have regained 27 pounds once at three years. Lost it and 10 more. Now another year out and through the Winter blahs have 15 to ReLose!!!! Taking it back too!

It's so hard! Every where I go, people are eating. I just came from a movie. The smell of that popcorn is overwhelming. My friends are always eating Cookies and chips.

I go up and down, but I really need to take 10 lbs off and stay in that weight range. I am sick of having nothing to wear.

I am totally struggling!!! This is no joke I lost about five lbs but gained it back. Grr.
