LIN140

I am 44, lost about 70 lbs and have gained 30 back. I feel embarrassed to have lost control of it all. I hate the feeling of keeping to go up a size. ( life is as beautiful when it was the opposite) Any suggestions on getting Back on track? Has anyone one had success with re finding their way back to weight loss?

I was sleeved about 4 years ago, and have gained about half my weight back. I have been trying to get back but keep falling into a rut. Snack And bad foods have become the norm once again. Need to find the strength to hit the restart button.

Hello my fellow July 8 sleevers. I have not been on this forum for ages. Possibly because I have regressed and avoided taking ownership of my poor efforts Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Started at 230 went down to 155 And now 185. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My actual goal was 140 hence my user name... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Lori I had my sleeve in July of 2013. I started at 230 and my lowest was 155. Now I am at 185 and feeling so down. I feel like the opposite happened. All I think about is eating every few hours. I need to go back to basics and find the strength to make things happen. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We are very similar. I was sleeved on July 8, 13 at 227 and 5'4. I am currently at 166, but loosing very few lbs per month now. I too feel great already. My goal is also 140. Congratulations you look great!

I too have changed my clothes twice in my closet, what a wonderful feeling. Hoping to do it again and again. What is your goal to get to? I would like to get to 140, I am 5'4'' Another 30 more lbs to go, but it seems to be harder now:(.

How is everyone doing? I was sleeved on the 8th of July. SW 224 Current weight 171 I am making progress weekly but slowly.

Don't feel so bad, my weight loss is similar to yours. As long as we keep heading in the right direction. I know it is sometimes discouraging when you compare to so many others that are loosing so much faster, but every person is different and I certain that you have started to feel the benefits of your progress.

I am only 40 down sleeved on the 8th.

Anyone have any problems with their liver after surgery? I had some blood work taken due to recent pain on my right side. Results show I have something abnormal. I will be checking in with the doctor tommorow. Anyone else have any similar symptoms?

I am down 36 since surgery.

Hi Angie, I am about 10 weeks out and I too felt like I had made a great mistake and felt like I would not be able to live with myself and the choices I made. This is temporary, after about two weeks I started feeling much better, and now that my clothes are loose and I feel to have more energy, I would do it all over again. Hang in there, you will feel better soon:)

Thank you for sharing your success. I was sleeved on July 8, have made good progress but I cannot even dream of what it would be like to hit my goal. I look forward to what things will be like for me 6 months from now, even a year from now. I can imagine the excitement of your wedding day, in the new you. Congratulations!

I am almost 2 months post op, and have recently noticed the inside of my legs numb. From the knees down to my ankles, on both legs. Other than this, everything else feels normal. Any one else experience anything similar?

I was taking the gummy vitamins from Costco, will try switching them off. Thank you.

I went to Vegas last weekend for a few days, I did not do great. I had chips during the long drive and while I was there, ate some things outside of my routine. When I got back, I had gained about 1.5 lbs, but went right back to my routine and things are flowing as normal now. One thing I would do differently in a future, is plan my Meals way better. Take sufficient food for a couple of days One thing I can say, I used to love buffets, now I feel like they are a waste of my money considering the portions Enjoy your trip and plan well:).

I am 6 weeks out, and have recently been feeling nauseated in the mid afternoon. Anyone feeling these symptoms? Is this normal?

I don't think so, and I really hope not. I am 40 with 3 kids already, 19, 15 and 9.

This is how I am feeling lately, eating does make it better, even though I may not be feeling hungry. Thank you both for the advice.

Sleeved on 7-8. Was 223 now 197 total loss 25 lbs.

You look great. I can only image how great you must feel. I still have quite a ways to go.

I did crave lemon with salt quite a bit.

You look great, your eyes look so much bigger. Is it the makeup or the overall change in your body ?
