Because I was so discourage of my results for my 1 year anniversary, I dug myself out of the hole and decided to do something about it! So today I started the 5 day reset. So far so good. It has made me reflex today where I was last year this time and why I was doing it. Please send me support because it will help me see it through. Thank you all in advance.

MsKendraHL, I have been through it for other reason but it is all the same. I too had a friend for 15+ years and something similar happen. Let me put it to u straight up. We thought they were our friends. The fact is you were her friend but u were not necessary her friend. Shd had to keep u thinking that and keep u close so she can know everything going on in your life so she can top it. Now that she not going to he the finest chick in the group she has become a "HATE-AR". And like Kat Williams say we all need them in our life! Lol Like your husband say let her go, she has shown her true colors and this was not the first time, this time just mattered to U!!!! Now it's time to take care of the #1 Player in your life , U!!!! If she want to be in your social circle then she is going to have to check negativity at the door otherwise your circle is full and you will take her application and call her when there is an opening. You have to look at it that if she was a true friend, a do or die friend, she would be happy that you r getting healthy! I am still an associate with my so thought friend, I just associate when it is convenient for ME these days. Hope this helped Queen One foot in front of the other, one step at a time, if you fall down get up! QueenT

You want to hear about SLOW! Well how about almost 1 year out and your HW was 257, your LW 217, and now your weight 239! Now that's slow. I've been back to doc 3 times and we have tried upping Protein, increasing exercise. Not until last week I found out from talking to nutrientist and my Psyc that I was unconsciously blocking myself from loosing due that I was afraid of the saggy skin. Sound ridiculous? Yes but my best friend had gastric bypass and she lost 9 to 10 pounds a week too fast. When she reached her goal she showed me all the skin. She went from 400 to 200. But it's something I never wanted my husband to see. But no one said it would happen to me, my mind just kept the imagine and ad I start loosing I got scared and unconsciously stop doing what I suppose to do. Now that I have identified it I am back on track! Yeah, this week I'm ready and if the skin saggy, God will make a way to fix it. I am not longer afraid. But to u all who think u r slow. Think about me 1 Year out with only now a 30 pound weight lost and send some love and encouragement my way for I need it! One foot in front of the other, one step at a time, if you fall down get up!

Thanks for the input but these forums u have no idea who own them or start them up cause u need a password to get in. I don't understand how people can join in.

Why some Forums u can get in to? I saw forum VST Social Group and I try to read the one from Texas and could not get in. It ask for my password unlike other ones and I could not enter. Could anyone tell me what this is about and how I can join ?

@Nannie, I'm sorry you r correct. I had Sleeve June 30, 2011 and my one year will be 2012. I lost 30 but not it's only 19 which means I'm gaining.

I'm 54, live in Houston, TX and had the VSG June 30, 2012. My one year Anniversary will soon be here and I feel there is nothing to celebrate. Have not loss what I wanted so discouraged.

My nutritionist told me to use fit day because it has a pie chart of Protein, carbs, and etc. easy to look at. I'm going to start using it tomorrow along with myfitness pal to jump start my weight loss again.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I am going to do the 2 week pre op, track my foods and watch my carbs. I needed this sight and I need all of you for support on this journey and I will support each one of in the areas I can. Thank you do much!

To All My Sleeve Family: Am I the only one that is almost a year out, June 30th and have just lost 30 lbs, this is so embarrassing. I feel like such a failure.

He says that I'm not eating enough Protein. I had my stomach tested to see if it had stretched but it had not. He also suggest that I up my exercised. You have any suggestions for me to jump start the weight loss again.

Hello to u both and I can say I am proud of u both. My one year anniversary is June 30 and I have not done half of what u two have done and I am so do disappointed and frustrated. I have had my stomach tested to see if it had stretch " no" it has not. I started at 257 and went dn as low as 217 now I'm at 235. Doc said I'm sm not getting enough Protein and I'm really struggling with that. Can u both share with me how u got to onederland. Please help I need encouragement. I wish I would have found this sight a year ago it would have helped alot but I have it now and hope to make sleeve friends for life! Queen LegendQueenT

Hi I'm new to the forum but not to Sleeve. My one year anniversary is coming up June 30 and I too have only lost 30 - 35 lbs. I have went as far as having my stomach tested to see if it has stretched. Lol on Tuesday I went to see the nutrientist to see what is going on. One thing she said everyone's body reacts differently. Two I was not getting in enough Protein and was not exercising enough. So I'm going to try to improve on those two but I feel u. I am very frustrated as well. All the friends I mafia that had surgery same month as me had lost 80, 90, 65, and even s 100. In my support im the only one stlll in the 200, they all in onederland. But my doc said its good for people like me and you because we should have less saggy skin. Maybe we can help each other. Sent from my iPhone using VST
