  1. I am 16 months out. I never made goal I still need to lose 40 pounds . My lowest weight was 173 in August. I had gained weight and was at 187 at my dr. Visit last week. Needless to say my surgeon challenged me to lose 10 pounds in two months. Told him I thouj my sleeve was broken. Turns out I have been grazing. I kept saying few snack won't hurt me. They have killed me and Im so mad at myself. I'm going to Paris in June and want to look fab. This week went back to basics and have lost 6 pounds since monday. I have gone back to basics as everyone on here suggested and it works. 1 Protein shake in morning , greek yogurt for lunch. Lean protein for snack when get home from work. Additional lean protein around 7 pm. Also have gotten in all my Water something I never did before. Keeping my carbs at 20 grams and my protein at 90. I am so grateful. That I have this forum to see that I'm not alone on this journey

    sleeve reset was successful

    Just checking in to say I’m now 149 pounds. The weight just continues to slowly come off. This is so great to know that after 10 year’s it’s possible
  3. Hi everyone, I was sleeved 9/11/2013 and this ten years has definitely been a journey weight loss rollercoaster for me. I started at 239 and currently weight 152. I lost down to 167 and that was my lowest for years. I slowly gained again after the lost of my parents and last year weighed 212. I refocused and lost 60 pounds down to my lowest at 152. I’ve been focused and watchful of my meals and started intermittent fasting which has been a lifestyle change for me. Still the best decision I ever made

    10 Year update

    Hi it was the hardest weight to lose before I got serious if that makes sense. Once I saw a pic that was sent to me that did it. I looked unrecognizable to myself. That is when I became serious and lost the weight. Dropped 14 pounds in one month and was off and running towards my goal of dropping back down to 167. Hit than and kept going.

    Down to 152 and actually I can’t believe it. Never did I think I would get this small especially after 10 years. I am sticking to my intermittent fasting and the pounds just keep coming off.

    Question about (very) small regain

    Check it now if you’re grazing you have to pull back. You will look up and 3 pounds is 30 pounds and you will have to start over. I just restarted and lost and it was hardest thing to do. My advice is to go back to basics and incorporate intermittent fasting. It had been game changer for me. Train yourself to only eat when hungry and let’s be clear we aren’t not hungry just eating because we can.

    Hi just now seeing this. I went pack to basics and intermittent fasting. The two Protein Shakes and one meal is what you have to do to get weight moving. Also you can never eat regular again to maintain the weight loss. That’s what I found works for me. I keep my calories around 1000 or less per day and I’m fine. If I splurge one day I only eat a little of the bad item. Also no leftovers of not good food choice items

    I think it’s possible to reset your sleeve and start to loose again. You have to go back to the regimen post surgery and drink two protein shakes and 1 meal per day. It will come off. I just lost 50 pounds over 6 month period and I had sleeve 10 years ago. If you have more questions let me know

    I have been intermittent fasting. I’m eating between 12-6 and that’s it. Also I’m eating mostly protein and absolutely no carbs. It I get hungry I eat few grapes and by few I mean 4.

    Well this weight loss journey has been never ending for me. I blamed Covid but really it’s been my lack of discipline. I’m down from 212.2 to 174. Dedicated to not giving up. Hoping to lose to 164 by next month.

    5 years out...gaining weight

    I gained some weight back so I’m now trying to reset and get this sleeve reworking.
  18. Hi I’m five weeks out. Take your time and know the recovery is different for each person. My insision opened after 4 weeks due to tension on incision so don’t wear any low underwear. I had them on because I started my cycle and now I’m dealing with open incision that I need additional surgery in few weeks to correct. Drink plenty of protein shakes as your appetite will be non existent

    I can't get focused. I keep eating pita chips....I'm going to just start now and forget about trying to wait until tomorrow.....u said it Diet is the keyDon't wait start right away. Just focus on getting through this one day meeting Protein goals, Water goals, and keeping carbs low. Go to sleep tonight feeling good about what you ate that day. Then the next day same thing. Once a few days past it starts getting easier. So far down 6.4 pounds and will weigh in tomorrow hopefully adding to this total. Good luck! that's what I have done.....got all my water and just finished Protein shake. I will check in tomorrow. I m made at myself because I keep falling off. I was so dedicated before I went to Paris. Gotta reprogram my mind
