I am 3 month post op & 45 lbs lost.....but guys I blew it this week !!! Blew it big time. All of my bad habits crept back & I allowed myself to eat a ton of simple carbs. I ate frequently. I ate till I was uncomfortably full & experienced terrible guilt afterwards. It was as if the past 3 months didn't happen. I am so ashamed of myself but more importantly so worried that I may not get back on track tomorrow.

You have 2 choices: Keep waddling in your guilt or move past it and go forward. I'm 1 year out and I over ate and didn't eat the right things but I got up the next morning and it was a new day. I went to the gym and ate right. It'll be fine. Just don't keep doing it.

I see a therapist every two weeks and keep a journal to empty my thoughts. I fight with those same urges and feelings creepping back, thoughts of failure,guilt, shame, failure. I'll have weeks where everything goes right, for exercise, and today, blew it, like you said. It's a process, every day is one step, and sometimes we trip along the way. But tomorrow is another day. We get up, vitamins water protein first. The times I trip, it's because I forget protein first. I'll go a few days eating salad, fruit, hummus, stir fry, and then the hunger and cravings catch up to me. Don't beat yourself up, you know that only leads to more guilt, restricting, and losing control. I highly recommend working with an eating disorder counselor. Not that you have an eating disorder, but they can really help with the pattern of thinking that you speak of. Good luck, and just remember that tomorrow doesn't care what you did last week, just make the best of it.

I moved across the country this past week and I am noticing my desire to use food for comfort is really strong. I ordered a full burger meal for lunch on the second day of the trip, I ended up eating most of the patty and 2 fries. I felt silly after, what a waste. Theses cravings are hard to deal with sometimes, but that's the beauty of the sleeve, it's much easier to get back on the wagon. ?

You are right. I got back on the wagon today. 1 day down. Million more to go [emoji12]

Yeah I started with a therapist but she was not a good fit & haven't had the motivation to find a new one. I guess I just found my motivation now didn't I [emoji23] [emoji23]

"You may see me struggle but you will never see me quit"

Thank you for posting this. I'm almost 3 months out and have seriously sucked this past week. I've used old excuses and eaten anything I can fit in my stomach. I notice that when I find an excuse, I'll run with it and ruin myself until I cant make the excuse anymore. I've also realized that its now time to start tracking everything in my fitness app because I feel like I have more accountability with it.
So, recognize and react. Thats what I have to do. Tomorrow is a new day for me to be a new person.

I did the same thing a few times. I ate things that weren't good for me and gained 5 lbs back, lost that then gained 3 lbs then lost that. It only seems to happen when 1. I'm not home for a few days. 2. It's about to be shark week.

The best thing to do when you know you caused the weight gain and not Mother Nature being a jerk is just to pick yourself back up. You may or may not be mad at yourself for messing up but just know that mistakes can be corrected. [emoji846]

"Only those who try will become." ~FFX

This post had perfect timing. After 2 days of eating whatever I wanted I woke up to a 4 pound weight gain. I actually cussed loudly when the number popped up. I need to stop that and get back on track.
