Gained almost all of it back. Feel like a failure. Won 800.00. 3rd place out of thousands of employees. I can't wait for July.

I understand your disappointment. I have been on this path for years and years of yo- yo ing. Don't despair. There is hope with the gastric sleeve tool.

The past is the past..so look forward. Start looking at what cues make you go to food. Head hunger is real and you will have to face this demon even after the surgery. The more we know why we go to food.. The better chance we have to combat it.

Gained almost all of it back - can't wait for July.

@@jdillon

like some, many, most (me) have lost weight only to regain +

don't kick yourself anymore - you are probably already black and blue

"can't wait for July"

i was very anxious for WLS too

but remember - the surgery is here to help/assist you lose the weigh

nolthing is done magically overnight

you MUST work with the sleeve - and in turn the sleeve will work for/with you

but you look like a smart cookie

i'm sure you are aware that this is a forever new lifestyle that you need/must follow

you have 2 months til surgery

you can prepare for surgery by gradually doing the following

stop drinking soda (diet soda too)

no more coffee

don't drink with your meals

wait after you eat to drink again for 45-60 minutes

drink 64 oz a day

these are hard rules to follow - but work on it now -

so post op - you'll have a leg up on other newbies

head hunger - not sure of the "official" definition, but something like................

you are not really hungry, but your tummy tells your brain you want to eat

good luck

I lost thirty pounds with WW three years ago and gained it all back plus 35 pounds. I know how it feels.

We know how to lose but we can't keep it off. It's why we need surgery. Our hunger hormones go into high gear after we lose weight.

Try not to beat yourself up.

Hi sorry to hear your frustrations. Head hunger is when you are not physically hungry but your mind tells you you want to eat. It's like craving food. So even though you have no need to eat physically. You still think your hungry. Hard to explain if you've never felt it.
