It's over with and tomorrow is a new day. You are not a failure, you slipped, we all do some times. Thank you for sharing this. It helps me and I am sure others, that no one is ever perfect. I eat more than 1 cup at dinner. Have a better tomorrow. Hugs, Arlene

What you're experiencing is very normal....you must stick to the soft foods when it's time to eat them to let your stitches heal..You can do it!, if you feel the urge to cheat or eat solids before your time, get on here and read or send me a message...YOU CAN DO THIS! (:

Awwwh AJ... I feel your pain. Today is a new day and I respect you for blogging about it. Look hard for a trigger, tired, bored, lonely. You logged it so now move forward. One slipo does not a future make! Love you! <Hugs>

No doubt, it's very difficult. Smoking, food or alcohol act the same--they make us weaker in the end. Think beyond the moment at hand and imagine what you will feel like if you don't give in to the temptation....possibly how will you feel if you do give in to the temptation? Know that you are stronger than any temptation. Harder said than done....but possible.

Good post AJ. I totally agree.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a glass of wine, especially when you're counting the calories. I am a very firm believer that to be successful with any weight loss it has to be about moderation not deprivation. You are simply enjoying what you love in moderation.

I I also at a stall for about 2 weeks sleeve 3-4-2013 I was doing about 350-475 cals a day then I went up to about 600 and up my water a lot and walking more and the weight is coming off a again I am also getting about 70g of protein a day I do eat a little more on the weekends I still have a hard time to eat all my food in I try to eat about every 3 hrs...3 meals and 2 snack lots of water hope this help...Good Luck!!

I have read all these chats and You all have given me some good ideas. I am 4 weeks post op as of tomorrow and haven't lost a pound since i finished my two weeks of shakes post op. To be honest with you, I am extremely frustrarted and really don't know what to do. I am not sure what to eat and when. At this point I have lost 31 pounds and am extremely stuck! I really want to maximize my weight loss at this time but Have really no support medically and am completely lost. Help please if you have any advice. Thanks

Congratulations, LifetimeLoser! That's wonderful!

I shop at Value Village every few weeks as I move between sizes. I have probably donated 20 bags of clothes in the past 10 months and bought 15 bags! Overall, a net drop (got rid of years of "fat" sizes I'd been saving). It's crazy how much room I have in my closet now! I can actually see each shirt, pair of pants, etc.! And I'm ready to wear most of them now! I buy some that are a bit small (some deals just can't be passed up!), knowing they will fit in a couple of weeks. Other "favourites" get to be too loose or tent-like fairly quickly, and off they go to the donation pile! I am much better dressed now, and spending 10% of what I used to! I could only shop in 1 store (Penningtons) as I was too big for the other "plus" size stores we have here in Canada (Additionelle, Laura Plus, etc.). I HATED having only 1 store to choose from.......if they didn't have something I like, and in my size (4-5 x or 26-28), I was stuck wearing the 2-3 shirts and pants I had. Terrible! Now I have about 10 dress shirts, 6-7 pairs of really nice dress pants, some jeans, T-shirts, sweaters, etc. All from nice top quality brand names, and they all fit! I'm about a size 16 now, in most things. I depends on the style and brand. And I usually pay about $6-7 per item.........and often they are brand new with tags on still! I LOVE shopping now.
