I had my surgery in 2011, I have regained 18 lbs, in the past 2 years, which don't seem like alot, but I feel every pound of it, I am currently on liquids doing a reset, as I figure, losing 15 lbs, will be easier than 40, If I don't take control now, I know it will continue to rise. Have done great up until the year and half, and it is up and down, but want to go back down and stay there, need to do, exercise more and drink more water, stay away from certain foods, which I usually do very well at. I WILL do this... Coming back to the board as it helped me from the beginning and been gone a long while.

Stay strong everyone, we can do this. I will get this extra weight off, it is not about the number, it is how we feel. Just came back to the board after being gone for so long and looking for the support I got when I first had my surgery. Stay focused everyone, we can do this.

Just wanted to send out and see who and who IS NOT eating popcorn! There are many WORSE things you can eat, and it is not like we are gulping down gallons like we used too..... I still can eat about a half MINI bag and be happy. I have seen SEVERAL have the surgery, and THEN "TRY TO BEAT" the system... Yeah, OK WHY............NOW you have gained most of the weight you lost back, SO WHAT WAS YOUR POINT and WHO REALLY WON????????? Those of us that were serious STUCK to the plan and we are very HAPPY and healthier today!

I am still here, LIfe is just so busy I do not have time to post nor read the board like I used to. Still loving my sleeve, I did read somewhere if you are craving sugar, that is a sign you are not getting enough Protein.... not saying that is a fact, but maybe somthing to it.. Still recommending to people... and then they thank you.. Drink that Water... Loving Life!!

9.27.11 Best day to the beginning of the rest of MY life! Also, very proud to say I have been an inspiration to MANY others and will continue to BE an inspiration and VOCAL about the sleeve to help OTHERS!!!! I always keep my surgery under wraps until I meet someone that NEEDS IT, and then I say, I understand I had the surgery X years ago........... after they hear my story and see me, they have thanked me for being an inspiration to them.... i just get so disappointed in the ones that cannot wait to have the surgery, then after the surgery, they cannot understand and TRY their best to eat MORE!.....I have seen many that should have lost 200 lbs only lose 80. You have to have your MIND and heart right. Surgery will NOT fix the PROBLEM!!! But I do not preach to them as they will not understand. Rock that sleeve and Drink that water!! You did this for YOU. Enjoy your NEW LIFE!!!! I am BLESSED!!!

Keep the focus on YOUR needs, I always order ( focus protein) and when they serve I ask for a to go plate....I then scoop what I WANT to take....... and if I choose to take all and feed the birds, that is my choice

Keep the focus on YOUR Protein.......

AFTER you have had the surgery, you will definitely notice the change... After my surgery, it would almost make me sick to go to a restaurant and see what everyone was eating.... just the amount on their plates.....
