First...you have come a long way and lost a lot of weight...you have and are doing great. Also, congrats on the jobs...being without a job and sfteady income can be very stressful. Now, about the 10 pounds. You've got this. If I were in your shoes I would resort to the "brown-bagging" it technique so that you always have packed...or available in the fridge or pantry to easily pack...foods that you enjoy and that are part of the wls success story. Try keeping things like string cheese, deli meat roll-ups, cut up fresh vegetables and fruits, canned soups, cottage cheese containers, Greek yogurt, grilled chicken strips, nuts...you get the idea. This was you can pack a meal and a few snacks at a time so that you won't be tempted to make bad choices or pull in for fast food. Also, maybe try waking up 30 minutes earlier and working in a half-hour walk in the mornings before you start the day to get your metabolism going. It is going to require a little effort on the front end to get organized but you can do it. That weight will come right back off if you just get back on track with foods that are doable with your hectic, busy, and unpredictable lifestyle right now.

I am four years out and gained twenty. of course one pound at a time. I am on my way back down... just get back to basics. I eat three meals a day , and stopped drinking with my meals. I had let that bad habit back into my day then was not satisfied and snacked... only way to gain is to eat more than three meals a day at the size of meals we eat. You can do this, maintaining is the most important part of this journey!

Sweetie, you aren't a failure. You are human. Start by forgiving yourself and loving yourself. Then, be your own best friend and take care of yourself.

Back to basics - not as punishment, but as an act of self-love. Feel your feelings - don't eat them. Eat to nourish your precious body... not to avoid stress, to entertain yourself, or even to celebrate.

((hugs))

i have gained 7 over summer and i know it's all on me. im a get back on track and cut the starch and start working out again. don't let this get you down hun it happens at least you realized it before it got out of hand. thats what I'm grateful for

I'm a 1.5 years out of sleeve and have gained 20 lbs so I am right there with you. The more I beat myself up the more I gain. I need to cut it out but truthfully don't know how. I am thinking of going back to shakes for 2 meals a day and only eating lunch. Do you think that is healthy?

You can do this. Back to the basics, protein first, veggies next, 3 meals and only 1 or no snacks, and lots and lots of water. That will keep you full, get your metabolism working and keep you out of the vending machines.
Keep checking in.

Hi............C.A. I am 12 years out from RX-GBS. If there would have been sleeve back them I would have done it. I have gained between 30-40 lbs. I am not really addictive to food. I just eat rice cakes and addicted to Starbucks hot chocolate and 1 add shot..........and that is about it, consequently I have no energy........At any rate, when you are working two jobs (don't know if you have a family) you will be extra hungry. Just really be mindful of what you eat, eat more chicken and drink more water and those pounds will drop off. VERY BEST to you always and give yourself a break. Blessing. Jen

Chocolate,

You have done SO well! Don't worry! You can get back on track, like everyone said, just go back to the basics, and increase your protein, if you are down on what you should have. Start counting the grams again, if you aren't already.

Increase proteins and water...That's what helped me, in one of my stalls. I'm in one right now, I hear ya girl!!

We can do this!!

You look absolutely beautiful! now, get to it hon!! I have faith in you!

Boo

You got this thing!! I know you know what needs to happen... and I know you CAN DO THIS!!!

HUGS GF!!!
