eating too much

[luv4jb169 7]

I had my sleeve 03/06/2016. For the past few weeks ( since Thanksgiving) I have been eating more than 4-6 ounces. Sometimes I only eat a little bit and other times I can eat a lot. Is it possible I already stretched my stomach? I also have not lost any weight since August. (I am up 1-3 lbs every day) but no real since my 6 month mark. I loss 70 lbs in 6 months so far. Well anyway, my question is is this normal and is it possible to stretch you stomach in such a small time frame? One thing I have to admit I never stopped eating and drinking at the same time. I just can't eat without washing my food down.

So.....stop.

Just stop. Quit sabotaging your ability to gain results.

It's not too late to get realigned with the suggested methods your bariatric group instructed you on.

You use the term, "I can't ". I'm calling BS on this. You can, you simply choose not to.

You've had weight loss surgery.....altered your body in order to set yourself up for losing weight. It's not to late to make the mental adjustments needed to support this.

People the world over are flooding their gyms and diet centers this month in hopes of fulfilling their New Year's resolutions to lose weight. Be a joiner, lol. Follow along.....or better yet....lead the way. You've had a head start on them.....now leave them in the dust.

Or don't.

Your choice.

Keep doing as you've always done and be content with not getting the most from your surgery.

Or follow the rules and thrive with the benefits that will be forthcoming.

We need more information. What are you eating? How often? Are you meeting your Protein and Fluid goals? Are you drinking calories? Are you tracking calories?

Give some diet details and people can give more accurate responses.

What was your starting weight? Your current weight?

You can do this. You slipped a bit but ya gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off and do this thing. As dub said, people are flooding the gym working their asses off to lose weight. Many will be unsuccessful and some successful. Most of them weren't lucky enough to have this extra tool given to them. Take advantage of the tool you were given. Good luck to you. If you lost 70lbs in 6 months, you can def do this.

You can't stretch your stomach on a sleeve. The portion of stomach that was a little elastic was removed.

You're washing the food through and allowing the calories to mount up. That's the reason you can eat more and you're gaining.

Smart and cute to look at.

This is more mental than physical. Read what Dub wrote. Then read it again. And again. Then do it. We can offer direction and encouragement, but in the end, it is up to you. You can do it. You just have to decide that you want to.

Hey.....I didn't want to come off like a jerk in my prior post.

I simply want to pass along some of the same helpful instruction/advice that I was given along the way by people here that cared enough to help a brotha out.

You can kick ass if you choose to.
