Random Thoughts:
- The same thing is happening to me Mike, I am slowly gaining, but only a few pounds, and I am eating and eating. I am pleased it has only crept up as much as it has.
- The problem with me is it is not over! We will be going for days with left overs, treats, etc. Then New Years, then Barry's birthday on the 3rd of January.
- But you know what, I am not worried one bit, I am induldging, I am enjoying, I don't feel completely out of control, and the scale is behaving, all things considered.
- In January, I will get back on plan and slide back down where I belong...
- Again, it is amazing not to be worried about it, that is BIG for me.

- Really enjoyed my self this Christmas. I grazed like a cow and drank like a fish. To the point wear I went above my goal. I take total responsibility as I knew the consequences of my actions. Well...Today's a new day and I'm starting it off right. No more carbs as they get me into trouble. I already hit the Gym this morning followed by my Smoothie King Gladiator protein shake. It took me less than a week to put on 7 pounds. Between the gym and the snow shoveling I'm about to do (looks like it's going to be a bad storm)...We'll see how long it will take me to loose it.

I think this is what maintaining is about, you allowed your self a set time frame to go off plan and now are making the adjustments for it... Isnt it a nice to know that since surgery going off plan whether it be for a meal or a few days, when its over we pick up our tool and carry on...
where as in the past if we lost weight and then went off plan for even a meal, the mind set was we blew it so might as well keep eating...
I love my sleeve..

I totally agree with your post. I am up to 105.2, which is 1.5 lbs. higher than I want to be. I have been eating things I know I should not. But I do feel like I can manage it when I chose to get serious about losing it again. For me, that will be around the first of the month. Even if I am up three pounds by then, I know I can lose it in a little over a week. That is a great feeling.
You're right in the past I would have definitely kept eating.
It's strange as this is the first time that I have gone off for a few days. Was definitely an eye opener as I realize once a carb addict always a carb addict. Also a bit surprised as too how I gained so quickly.
But I definitely believe that I'm back on track and that my sleeve is wonderful.

124 today down a half from yesterday. go figure. i ate some of most everyting at xmas dinner including the choc cake but only the tiniest sliver. and couldn't finish what i had taken on my plate before sleeve said NO. so thankful for that 32 bougie. but all that stuff sure tasted great and it would be easy to eat brown sugar pecan yams everyday. guess i am glad these holidays are passed and i made it through without major damage. having said that, i still have work to do - mainly in the exercise department which i pretty much hate all forms of, but am going to take an aikido class and then later in the spring learn to surf. gotta do something.
so proud of everyone for being open on this forum about their issues and facing them and that everyone managed to have a good holiday without major food disasters. Diane
