Babbs 14,681 Posted August 31, 2015 Sleeves don't stretch, but can be eaten around. Are you experiencing more hunger? Eating more? Are you tracking calories, carbs and protien? Staying strict with your plan, only eating Protein first and drinking all your Fluid? Staying away from sugar and white carbs? You really didn't give out enough info to help you....you can't just depend on the sleeve for your weight loss. You've got to do the hard work to utilize it correctly.

Babbs 14,681 Posted August 31, 2015 Oh, and 4 pounds in one day sounds like Water retention to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newlady2015 7 Posted August 31, 2015 I always do my Protein first I consume between 80 to 90 grams of protein a day and 70 ounces of Water a day.. I eat shakes with protein veggies and very less carbs but yesterday I had a lot of carbs and today but it seems like everytime I eat a carb the next day I want more and more so between yesterday and today is said that I gained 4 pounds probably because I've been eating nothing but carbs...

Hmmmmm. I dunno. You would have to eat A LOT to gain 4 pounds that fast. You may have gained a little, but I still say Water retention is the culprit. And stay away from those carbs! They effect me the same way...the more I eat, the more I want! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Babbs 14,681 Posted August 31, 2015 Well now I'm curious. Let us know if you lose some of that weight in a day or so. Then we will know for sure if it's Water weight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krystalherrington 29 Posted September 9, 2015 I've gained 7 lbs. My surgery was a Most exactly 2 years ago. I need a little support. I'm terrified I'll gain everything back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsheive 100 Posted September 9, 2015 I am sure you are fine. If you gained 4 pounds it wasn't because of one day. Think back are you eating a lot of fruit(carbs), drinking enough Water? Relax listen to you body. Keep reading and posting you'll find an answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsheive 100 Posted September 9, 2015 Sorry Krystal that was for a previous post. Go back to your roots. Let you tiny tummy know who's boss. Look at what you were eating and what you ate eating and go from there. You caught yourself early that is good. Look at old photos and remember the pain physical and emotional and all the work you've done on two years. Go on a second "honeymoon" phase show yourself your worth it...

motherof5 364 Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks for the advise Babb's. I have been struggling with the sweets. My sweet tooth is terrible now. But, I will find healthier alternatives. I told my nutritionist that I was using date paste as a sweetener for my brownies, he suggested that I go cold turkey on the sweets. Smh, I will start with using Stevia instead lol. But, once you go there, you will come back and thata my problem that I see now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
