I had my sleeve surgery may 2012. At the beginning of my journey I was 298.....I am currently 199 and I'm very upset disappointed and let down. I've fallen back into old habits. I need help from my fellow sleevers to help me push to lose the other 49 pounds I want to lose. I am starting tomorrow back on my shakes. Please feel free to contact me with help motivation tips or whatever you got

Much love

fallen back into old habits

@@jwaller75

i see you just found our lovely little group and joined us this month

welcome welcome, and welcome :)

not sure if i can tell, have you gained weight??

hope not

but if you did that's ok

you are back on track

if you didn't gain.......woohoo :)

knowing the problem is half the battle

so you are half way there!! :)

good for you on starting shakes again

that will give you that helpful push

do you remember all the rules???

do you still have a NUT (nutritionist) you can talk with, ask questions

if not, maybe you could find to a NUT a couple of times for some assistance / help

"we" are all here to share our experiences, answer questions, give suggestions and give support :)

but we are not doctores

we can't "officially" tell you things you should do medically -a doc needs to advice you

you need to find a doc for that

always listen to a doc

family doc???

kathys' partial refresher course 101 ;)

FREE today!!!!

stop drinking 1/2 hour before you eat

don't drink with meals :angry:

don't drink for 45-60 minutes after you eat

drink at least 64 oz of Water daily

small/moderate portions

when you eat

have Protein first

as much as possible - 40,50,60 etc

dense Protein like chicken will help you feel full quickly

watch your carbs

don't drink soda :angry:

use myfitness pal to track your food

excercise

walking is good

you have done so well

you lost 100 lbs (ok 99, but close enough)

not a shrink, but you might have uncontinuously tried to sabotage yourself

maybe you were getting so close towards goal doing so well, you got scared

decided to go back to those bad habits

KNOCK IT OFF! :lol:

you made the smart decision last year to lose weight with the help of the sleeve

you were doing great!!!

i know you can get back on track

i have confidence in you :)

get back on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life

who deserves it more

good luck

kathy

This happens to a lot of people specially when they lose very quickly because you have not had time to adjust and learn from old mistakes.

You can do the 5daypouchtest to get you back on track www.5daypouchtest.com and then you need to get really mentally in tune and listen to your body. don't eat when you are not hungry and do not wait until you are full to stop...do not eat fatty junk foods..just tell yourself I don't eat that ...don't say I cant eat that....denying yourself will just make you want it more...just be resolved and say, I do NOT eat that ....

Drink your Water, and I think after the 5 day pouch test you will be back to the basics and you will have found your groove again.

You went though too much to let this happen....Dont wait to start, start now right this minute right this second regardless of what you already ate today.

Good luck and I hope you find it in yourself to want to finish the game.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
