Hello everyone/anyone??? I was sleeved in December 2012. Initially, I lost 45 pounds, but suffered with severe reflux. An endoscopy revealed that my pouch was twisting and I had surgery to straighten it. Reflux was significantly reduced. No other major problems, just that I cannot seem to stay focused on doing all of the things I need to do to lose weight. I am disappointed in myself that I had this surgery and failed to be consistent and have gained back the weight. Is it too late? In another post, I read about the 5 day pouch…something or another. I guess is going back to the liquid diet? I am not sure. If anyone can assist me with this, I would really appreciate it. It is 2015 and I have made the decision to get back on the wagon and get healthy. I am a mother of three (ages 19, 9 and 7) and a professor at a community college. My life is very busy. I have made the commitment to take care of myself and do what I need to do to feel great and be around for my children. Thanks for reading this post and I appreciate any feedback!

Thanks to both of you for your encouragement. This is my first time using this forum and digital communication in this format. I was so surprised to get a response so quickly. This is awesome! Thanks again!

Thanks!

I had the sleeve on 12/19. I would like to know how to get rid of the bad taste also. Also, I seem to feel hungry frequently. Any ideas?

I fully understand. I used to drink 3 20 oz pepsin daily and sometimes more. I had the sleeve done on 12/19. I hope I can stay soda free. I know soda is not good for me. It is difficult, but I am hanging in there.
