sleeve 4 me

I am 16 months out and reached my goal of 150 May 25, 2011 (9 months post op). My lowest weight has been 144 and I've peaked at 148. When I peaked at 148 I cut out a few treats for 3 days and dropped to 144 yikes. I want to stay 145-148 if at all possible, so far, so good. My last weigh in on Saturday was 145. I do not diet at this point. I do not exercise (Although I need to get my butt moving, for my hearts sake). BUT with this said, I've heard that people can and do gain weight back. Check out the weight gained after sleeve in the front post section.

This is good! I really need to get moving!

Um for some reason when I exercised I would gain or stall...something about gaining muscle??? That would discourage me, even though I know it's good for me. Now at goal I know I need to do it for my heart.

You sound great! That's awesome! You are going to ROCK your sleeve girl!!!!!!!!

Wait, 2 more questions...do you drink alcohol? I do not. Or take any special medication? I do not. Again, just wondering and trying to figure this out! Thanks!

OK I have a few questions for you ladies, by chance do you drink with your meals? This is something I do not do. I literally watch the clock from the last bite then 30 minutes later I'm good to go, but even then I really can't drink a whole lot. I'm just wondering if this could be an issue for you both? Also, do you eat your dinner late? We typically have dinner at around 5:15 pm M-F and on the weekends it varies from 5pm-7pm. I'm also wondering if this would be a factor. One last question, did you lose quickly or slowly? I lost slowly. The last months literally 1-2 lbs. a month. Just wondering. Oregondaisy can you share information on what you know about the person who gained back 25 lbs., as far as what the main reasons/issues were??? Man if we can figure this out, it would be a HUGE help for all of us. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1-5 lbs still seems to be the normal yayyyy! So good to hear this. My lowest weight was 144.7 and I last weighed 145.9 (weekly weigh in). This is with NO dieting at all (still blows my mind), but I still have pretty good restriction at 16 months out. I pray it stays this way.

YOU LOOK AWESOME! You carry your weight well, no way would I think you are 204 : ) CONGRATS!!!!!!

yayyy! Our group is growing.

Yes you will be able to guzzle again yayyy! Negative on the eating and drinking at the same time. That's the worse thing about the sleeve for me. But it's worth it.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I felt semi normal day 14 post op, but felt even better about 3 months out...

CONGRATS!!! Don't worry your hair loss will stop and eventually grow back

WOW! Here's to Christmas Miracles

Well I can't believe it! I did it! I waited 1 whole week to weigh in yayyyy! I weighed in at 145.9 today. No dieting, no tracking, just being . I LOVE YOU SLEEVIE!!!
