Hi all, this is my 2nd time here. I had my sleeve i think in august 2014. I have put it all back on due to stress and my daughter developed an eating disorder. I had to eat what she was eating,so she would eat it. Not to mention the amount of alcohol it took to numb me from the pain, watching my daughter slowly disappear in front of me. I remember when i was on here last, seeing people put back on the weight they had lost. I wonder how the hell could that happen. Well i’m now one of those people.

Started Weight Watchers, cheaper then going back to a dietitian. My husband is away for a few months so i’m Going to get myself into a routine before he gets back. Can’t wait to get back to a healthy weight.

Get some counseling for yourself. I am confused about using your daughter's illness as a reason for you to overeat yourself, that does not sound as if a physician would give that treatment advice. More information please.

I had to eat what is had to eat otherwise she wouldn’t eat it. Everything was very high calories, like potato made with cream. She was like “if your not eating it, then I’m not” i don’t expect you to understand but that was my story. It wasn’t the only reason. The wine after she went to bed didn’t help either. No exercise because i had to watch her. She wasn’t allowed to walk around. Just moving around the house was putting pressure on her heart. The stress of this and moving just was a recipe for me putting weight back on. But I focused on getting back on track. I know i can lose it because i have done it before, i can do again.

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughters health issues. I can totally relate. I have not had surgery yet but I was approved last year and scheduled to be sleeved augs 15 2016 and I didn't go thru with it. My daughter started having seizures at 9 months I went through about 6 months of test you to find out that she had a condition call Chiari and what it is is the brain was too big for her skull and it was causing too much pressure or not allowing spinal fluid to flow through properly. She ended up having surgery 4 times from the beginning of August to the end of September finally after a year of being okay I decided to contact the doctor pick up where I left off I was scheduled to have surgery at the end of December but the doctors assistant did not know he would be out of the office so my surgery date was moved to January 2018. But during that time while I was in the hospital with her I gained weight when I went to see my surgery he mentioned that I gained 15 pounds in the last year I was so depressed I had a lot to do with my daughter being sick I turn to food for Comfort it was the wrong thing to do I was so depressed but now that she's better I finally see light at the end of the tunnel to start taking care of my own health thank God. Hang in there I know it's tough hopefully you can find a program that works for you and get back on track and start to lose some weight.
