Hi. I just signed up on this. Not sure if I am even doing this right. Had sleeve done July 7th. Have been stuck twice already. I am very aware i have an emotional eating problem. Does anyone have any suggestions how to overcome this and persevere with the weight loss when it is multiple family members that put all the stress in ones life. My health is good and job is ok...but the family stresses me out. Thanks for any help.

If any of us knew exactly what we were doing we might not need to be here in the first place. :rolleyes: Seriously though, I am right there with you, stresses come from all over, some come and go, some seem to take residence in our lives for a while.

I am also very new to this site and to this process in general. I would love to think I have this whole thing figured out but I know deep down, not so much. I guess the goal here is to help each other and somehow make it through.

I am blessed to have a family that is 100% supportive, but if the situation was opposite, I would dig my heels in and refuse to discuss my health with any of them and be around them as little as possible. If I had saboteurs in the house, I would just have to focus and walk away from their dietary mess. I feel for you - just don't give away your power. Hugs from Chicago.

Have you considered working with a therapist to develop strategies to deal with the stressors? We all are probably guilty of using food for purposes other than nutrition, but we need to develop other ways of rewarding ourselves and comforting ourselves other than with food. Love Miss Mac's Ben Franklin Quote - so to the point. Working on some new hobbies and exercise are some ideas that I am looking into in order to get my head out of the fridge, lol.

Remember the Serenity Prayer, too, it applies here.... Good Luck and hang in there

I'm blessed to have married into a very loving and stress free family but my blood family is very stressful and can only be taken in small doses

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
