You Can Gain Weight With The Sleeve

[Lisalu 89]

Hey Coops and Mini-me, I remember you from when I first came on this site in 2010. I too have gained a few pounds from my preferred weight on 120. My housemate got a scale and I'm hoovering at 123. 3 pounds, no biggie right? Well it kinda is for me cuz I'm afraid it'll go from 3 to 13 to 30 to... Plus it's there because my eating habits have been crap. Gotta recommit to Protein first and to laying off the sweets. Goodness but they are still my weakness

Mini how about an update?

I want an update too! Hang in there mini, I managed to get below my pre holiday low, its slow but so much easier than previous non surgery years!

Mini, I had no idea you had a baby - CONGRATS !!! I'm super happy for you!!

Definitely don't beat yourself up, thats going to happen being pregnant and so you didn't lose the weight yet. I see you're working on it now, so good for you. I hope all is well today, please check in when you can.

I wish the weight was from "having" a baby. I adopted him so pregnancy isn't to blame. Late nights, grab-n-go food? Now, I can blame that.

I'm down another pound so 6 to go. I know if I really focused, it would be gone MUCH faster, but I'm just watching what I eat, but not being too stringent about it. As long as it is going down, I am happy about it. I'm still allowing myself to enjoy wine and a sweet or two, but focused on Protein first and then a bite or two of something else.

More to come with the next pound down! Thanks to everyone for your encouragement!

Oh well! I didn't realize that whoops... LOL Still... you had a lot on you at the time, I can imagine how much of your energy it takes having a brand new life in your world.

You're still working on it! All that really matters. To me, only needing to lose 6 Lbs is such a far cry from 60+ from gaining weight back, which in my life would be the case pre-sleeve.

[MINI-Me 196]

No worries Diva. I love having my new little guy. Life has changed, but it is sooooo much better!

A lot of women gain weight after having a baby-you lose sleep and sit around a lot. You grab "whatever" food instead of what is best.

My Christmas 5 lbs was from Cookies and mixed drinks (yes, I had lots of fun).

mini-me congrats on your adoption! I am so glad I logged back on here. I have the creep back. Too many carbs! logging on to sparks people. Got up to use treadmill, it broke! thought I had it fixed. Could walk but it is too dark out. ( had a few murders around here-very rare so I am still cautious) Could have used weights but I started dinking around on the computer. Updated sparks and logging in my day. Plan what to eat and eat what I plan. I am so glad for this sleeve. will check in. How are you? I know you got to goal. I need to get back under 127, that is where I feel best.

I havent been sleeved yet but I would like to know can you ever eat the amount of food you ate before being sleeved.

No way! I can eat way more than others who are just sleeved or even 6 months out - but here's what I can indulge in. I can eat one large slice of pizza or 1.5 slices of Medium. I can eat a Jr. Whopper w/cheese and some fries. I can eat about 4 Oz of breast chicken with a little bit of veggies and rice. As you can see I can eat more of a portion of not so good choices, but my good choices get me full faster. One just needs to be careful in these situations. Things like pop-corn I can eat as much as before... so I limit eating this at all.

I still to this day never eat and drink at the same time. I do follow the sleever rules most of the time, but some days I do like to eat my carbs first.

Thanks for the explanation

I have days when I can eat a lot. But if I eat Protein first I am full. slider foods are slider foods. I need to stay away from trigger foods> crackers whole wheat, rice crackers, choclate, candy...no wonder I gained weight! on the path again. loggoed my food for 2 days now. I am going back to once a month weigh in till I get back to 127!

Thanks for keeping this topic alive. I'm still struggling with the last 5 pounds, but I am on track!

I even joined the gym. I've been 5 times since signing up less than 2 weeks ago. No one who knows me can believe it, but I'm doing it. Nothing fancy ... just 30 minutes or so on the treadmill. My husband was already a member & I added myself. The deal included childcare so the little one can be there with us & I peak in on him.

Those 5 pounds will be history soon!!!!!

Good for you MIni!
