You said you exercise 4 times a week? Is it possible the weight gain is due to increased muscle mass? If you are truly eating and drinking the way we are taught, it maybe due to other causes.

I am happy with the sleeve, I lost my weight quickly and felt good about my chances, however...I did not deal with the WHY. Why do I overeat, why do I eat when I’m sad, stressed, bored... I have...
I suffered from a dilated esophagus for over 2 years with the band. I finally switched to the sleeve last March. I have many mental issues to still overcome regarding food but after a year I am...
I am sorry to hear of your loss. It gives meaning to the wise adage of ‘live each day as if it’s your last.’ I hope you will eventually find peace in your fond memories of your friend.
I truly thought this Thanksgiving would be difficult for me as I host 30 family members every year and I cook every dish you can think of, and then the family brings their dishes too. I went on a...
Hi there and welcome! I’m going to repost a response I gave to questions about the Lap-Band. If it sounds familiar to some, it’s what I send out to those who are considering VSG after Lap-Band:

When I went in for my EKG they saw something abnormal in the report. So I had to go to a cardiologist to have an echo done and a stress test. It ended up being nothing. Normal heart rate is 60 to...
I got on the cleaning kick on Tuesday and started to clean out my closets. I pulled out all the clothes that were a size too large, but also found a bunch of clothes that were a size too small based...
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary, and warmest thoughts for many more.
So I’m working with a therapist on overcoming my eating disorder, and a suggestion was made that I try hypnosis. I do not know anyone who has tried a hypnotist for weight loss and I wondered if...
It was hard for me in the beginning, and some days I wondered what I had gotten myself into. But each day it gets better and better and before long you will be able to meet your fluid and protein...
The last time I checked (I try not to weigh too often) I was 50lb down but I haven’t lost in over a month. I know it’s because I’m snacking without consciously realizing how much. I’m not...
Are you still in contact with your nutritionist from the surgeon’s office? My nut was able to set up a week-long meal plan based on my food likes to get me going in the right direction.
Way to go girls!
As I sit on my couch watching Spongebob with my grandson, I realized I have wasted 5 months of precious time since getting the sleeve that I will not get back. I was given a gift to help battle...

Way to go Lisa! Your post has inspired me to keep on moving along even though I’m on a weeks long stall. I can’t wait to celebrate my one year surgiversary next year. Have fun in Italy, it sounds...
Love it! It also provided me exercise (from laughing so hard).
I just binge watched all her videos! I remember seeing her video on 10 things she wished she knew prior to surgery before I made my decision to do weight loss surgery. She is very entertaining and...
Great job, isn’t that food fabulous? After my trip to Venice last June, I want to travel to other cities in Italy too.
YES! I HAVE HAIR LOSS! I knew to expect it based on all the posts I’ve read, but it was still a shock to see all the hair in the brush each time. My hairdresser says my hair is still thick enough...
I can not say enough good things about all of you. I hesitated to even say anything but I was so ANGRY, it just came out. I have had little support after having this surgery and to be able to turn...
