Need to "get with it!" - HELP

OK, I had my VSG 16 months ago and I've lost 121 lbs. and lots of inches BUT I'm at a standstill with the weight loss . . do I know the reason???? Of course I do . . I'm not eating what I'm supposed to, not drinking my water, not exercising like I should . . DUH!!!! This one is easy to figure out . . I just gotta get with it . . after I hit the one year mark it just seems like I started to be way more lax in what I am supposed to be doing . . I'd like to lose another 15 lbs. . HELP!  I know what I gotta do, but what am I going to do to get it in my mind to JUST DO IT!!!!  Thanks to everyone for the support -- because this is what this site is all about . . FAYE

Hey my friend!!!!!  I'm so sorry you are at a standstill.  I am in no position to give you advice or have no way of knowing what to tell you because I haven't gotten to your place yet.  However I can tell you what my plans are if I have  a stall.  That was hard to get out because I refuse stalls and try not to say it...no I'm not superstitious but I am avoiding the word like a plague but am smart enough to "think I have a plan" LOL.  My plan only consists of rethinking where I started and following it through.  Liquids then mushies.  I think one week of liquid soups, yogurt, etc and then following it by 1 week of mushies, refried beans, cottage cheese, eggs etc. is what I'm going to do.  Who knows I could be delusional and way out of my box but I will try.

Huge hugs.  Can't wait to see you at our support group meeting!

I like your "plan" . . I surely need to rethink where I started . . I enjoyed reading your blog on OH and WOW --- 50 lbs. in 3 months . . you're doing wonderful!!! CONGRATS TO YOU!  I will surely see you at the support group meeting --- just seeing everyone and hearing success stories at those meetings is a great help for me . . looking forward to seeing you and keep up the good work and thanks for the encouragement . . I will "get with it" and hopefully will have a success story to share with you at the next meeting --- FAYE 

Wow, look, it's two of my fav ppl in the same post!  I want you both to know how much I thank God for each of you.  You both inspire me to be better!  I can't believe that I'm here.  That I'm in the solution part of the problem.  And that I'm on this journey with such fantastic people!  A year ago I didn't know either of you!  And a year ago I was so miserably hopeless where recovery from food issues was concerned.  Today I am walking out this miracle with each of you to share it with me.  My ups.  My downs.  My inbetweens.  I pray for each of you today that God smiles on you today.  Seeing you only once a month is not enough.  I say, Let's do a mid month dinner or something together.  We could include our hubby's if you'd like.  And we could resturant hop if you'd like.  Maybe we'll start something new in this area.  I know of a few folks that would join us in a heartbeat!  Big Big hug to you both and lots of love your way today!  Marie

Good hearing from both of you . . yes, can you believe a year ago we didn't know each other??? . .I enjoy getting together with friends, and especially those that have had the surgery and can relate with them . . I had considered the cruise that they are talking about on OH board --- will be people that have had the sleeve and I think it will be lots of fun to share stories and just interacting with people in the same "boat" (so to speak) . . but it leaves out of Florida and I'm thinking it will cost too much at this time . . but getting together here sounds great --- let's make it happen! --- even if it's just for a cup of coffee . .  FAYE

We be a team!!!!!

Count me in, Wednesdays aren't good though, I would love to have dinner or coffee with y'all or all of us, hubbys included, it doesn't matter!!!!!!

Lets rock our sleeves and enjoy the ride!

OH MY GOODNESS MAARRRIEEEEEE, your halfway there.  You have lost 73 lbs!!!!! That is so awesome.  I know you feel good too.

Hi Faye,

This journey is not an easy one. I am having trouble too.  But I too know what I need to do.  I have just been so busy but I've got to make more time to continue my journey.
