It gives me lots of hope to hear that you were able to rebound after a decent gain last year. I sometimes worry that I "broke" my sleeve or something with that Holiday binge but you have given me hope that indeed it does still work!!

Well day one yesterday was pretty rough with the cravings and I was kind of grumpy but today is already better!

Would love to hear how June 2011 sleevers are doing. Lets get back on here and support each other!

Okay guys I weighed the first time since my Birthday Oct 14th. I gained 10 pounds over the Holidays. 10!!! I was within 15 pounds of goal. I guess I just got lazy and decided to eat and it has really caught up with me. Besides the Holidays I have also been dating a lot and these guys have been taking me to the nicest restaurants and I have really enjoyed indulging. Well now I realize it was not at all worth it. I can not believe how easily all those slider foods went down at 2.5 years post-op. It is so much harder now. I am back on track as of yesterday! Doing the Boot camp until I lose back what I gained and then will slowly add small portions of healthy carbs back in. SERIOUSLY Though....I gained 10 pounds so easily that is scares me to death. One other thing I have learned during this is that I need to weigh at least once a week to keep me in check. Maybe if I would have been doing that I would have got it under control before I hit the +10 mark. It is really hard to not beat myself up right now but at least I have learned some lessons. The biggest lesson is that I must stay diligent the rest of my life or the pounds creep back on VERY EASILY! Another lesson! I need the support of people here. I had not been on line here in months and months. I need you guys!!! Sorry for rambling but so much on my mind right now. Thanks for listening!

I too LOVE the Quest Bars but my favorite is the Peanut Butter jelly and then the chocolate peanut butter. Quest is the only bars I can truly say I actually enjoy instead of just tolerate!

Start Weight=190 Valentines Day Goal Weight= 180 Never thought I would type 190 again UGHHH!!! Pre Surgery Weight 284

Started this "Boot Camp diet" today. Excited to get myself back on track as I have not done well since Halloween time! Gotta recover from these Holidays!

I am in! It has been a long long time since I have been on this forum and after the Holiday eating I have done I need the support!!!

How are the Jewels of June from 2011 doing?

It has been 12 months since my surgery on June 21,2011 and I have lost 104 lbs. I currenlty weight 175 and have 25 pounds left to reach my final goal of 150.

I have lost 104 and would like to lose 25 more!

I forgot to post that I did make my Thanksgiving goal! Ready to move on to Christmas goal now!

How are all my fellow Jewels of June doing now??

I will do the challenge. My current weight is 219 so will set a realistic goal of 209. Starting weight 279. Goal weight 160.

I am 12 weeks out and drink at least 2 cups of regular coffee every day. Have been for about 6 weeks. It does not bother my sleeve.

Things had been moving along nicely for me. I lost 50 pounds in 12 weeks and was feeling great. I can now eat any food without feeling bad and I think this is a problem. The past 3 or 4 days I have been eating things I should not. I of course still eat nothing like I did pre-surgery but I am afraid this is the beginning of the end because I am suddenly thinking about food again and wanting things I should not have. Before I was just looking at food as nutrition to stay alive and I liked that. The past few days I seem to be craving things again and wanting to eat at night. How do I get back on track? Need to catch it now while it is only 3 to 4 days out of control instead of letting this go on. I am scared!

Funny I lost 3 pounds last week when I got home from being at a 3 day horse show. So much running around and sweating!! I am happy to report that I have totally been on target the past 2 days and tracking all my foods. Just seem to have lost focus a bit for a few days after the horse show!
