Feeling bad...no progress

[Nyelaah 77]

Hi all

It's been a while but I feel so guilty and horrible about not using my tool early on to its full potential. I lost my way sometime around the holidays (surgery July 2015) and now feel like I lost the opportunity to really lose the weight.

I've lost 50lbs since July and feel like it's not enough. My HW 291, SW 273, CW 224. I clearly have not made my goal and am having a hard time to refocus.

What has worked for you all?

Thanks for any support and encouraging words you can offer.

@@Nyelaah Try going back to basics. Here's the 5 day pouch reset/test - it may be something that you want to try and kick off a new start.

It is never too late. You still have your sleeve.

Why not make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals?

A good therapist may also be able to help you get back on track.

In the meantime, go back to basics.

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Get at least 64 oz Fluid every day.

Meet your Protein target every day. What is your Protein target?

Avoid starches, added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), and fried foods.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise.

And, Embrace the Stall

Well, no sense in any of us beating you up about it...you are doing that enough yourself. Chin up....

Best place to start is at the beginning again...that is exactly what I do when i have a bad day or days. My mental mantra: "Go back to the basics. Eat your Protein and get in your Water. Stop eating the crap Get moving."

Do you have a NUT you can talk to in order to help get you back on track? You can do this...don't give up on yourself!

Don't beat yourself up! we all say that ! but its easier said than done when its you having the issue, trust me I'm the best cheerleader but when it comes to my plateau i am clueless!

i am constantly trying new things to get past this stall, but i have to def get out of my own mind.

Don;t give up and just keep trying new things. if you need someone to chat with please PM me, i don't know if i give good advice but I am a darn good listener

and who knows maybe we can get through our stalls together~

You really can continue to lose weight.

However, the important thing is that you recommit and take action NOW.

Since you've posted here, it seems like this is a turning point for you.

But nothing will change if YOU don't change your behaviors -- eating, drinking, moving, and other tools (you know what they are).

Recommit. Change. Win!

You haven't missed your opportunity. You still have your sleeve inside you. It is ready to do its part if you put in the work to wield it as the tool it's intended to be. Go back to basics. Put Protein first. Make sure you are getting 80-100 grams a day. Make sure you are drinking 64 oz. of Water per day minimum. Don't eat slider foods. Don't graze. Don't eat and drink at the same time. And try to get more active.

I know exactly how you feel...I am facing the same challenge. Had surgery 7/2012, did great...but, as of today have regained 20 pounds . I just joined this site to find the support and motivation. I am 62 yrs old.

Thank you everyone! I needed this. I have been off track and just needed to go back to basics. I will consider getting therapy too.
