Hello all...Queen of Crop here. Used to be on this forum all the time (so hello to the veterans on here). Was sleeved in 2011, reached goal exactly one year later. All was fine but have gained 10 lbs in 2 years and need to stop the bleeding before it's too late! I would love to go to a week long BACK ON TRACK RETREAT. Does anyone know of one? I live in Europe and would prefer to go here, but am open. Are there any European sleevers willing to create one with me? I have a feeling there are a lot of us out there who are gaining...and I am NOT GOING BACK THERE! WHO IS WITH ME????

You fly me to Europe and I will go!

Seriously though, please don't beat yourself up over 10lbs in two years! I mean sure, make the necessary changes, but know that you are now facing what all NORMAL women do! Aging, slowing metabolism, etc and average women gain. Struggling with those 10lbs is far greater than struggling with 100 or 200!

Hi there:

While we don't have a week long retreat we do have a weekend retreat to focus on YOU. We have been doing them for 4 years now and they have been extremely successful. folks leave with comments like I Can Do That!!! Renewed in their commitment to themselves and with a plan to win at the weight loss surgery game. Our next one is coming up April 20-22, 2018 in Portland Oregon and we would love to have you attend. We have had folks from Australia and Canada. Here is a link to the event which we call Spring Into YOU WLS SUCCESS MATTERS SPRING INTO YOU WEEKEND.

In addition to that we offer a Back on Track Class via webinar (we use Go to meeting) that meets for 6 weeks on a specified day for about 2 hours. There are books and homework involved in this very thought provoking class and folks have lost regain in that 6 weeks from anywhere between 4 pounds to 24 pounds. Here's a link to the next class coming up. If the time difference doesn't work for you we have done classes at different times of day so let us know what time (US Pacific) would work and we'll see if we can put one together Back On Track Class

Finally W e have a Facebook secret group which is 24/7 365 where everyone is working to achieve their goal weight and we (2 bariatric coaches) are in the group facilitating, doing one on one coaching, teaching, motivating and presenting weekly lessons and weekly challenges (focus points). Here's the link to join our next group which begins January 2018 with all of the details THE ORIGINAL WLS SUCCESS MATTERS WEEKLY WEIGH-IN GROUP

you can read about us and all we offer at WLS SUCCESS MATTERS BECAUSE YOU MATTER

Feel free to ask any questions you might have about any of our programs.

Very nice of your to respond and thanks for the support. The honest truth is I don't feel good at this weight and I know I am slipping back into bad habits, so I don't want 10 to turn into 15 to turn into 20, because as we all know, it can happen!

Sure feels like it but yes, 10/10 but all good. So far it’s been worth the wait!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
