Vsg 12.12.13, 5'8" tall; hw 293 surgery 240 current 165-169 original goal was 175 got down to 154 but too low for my taste. my happiest zone is 161-165. I enjoy practicing several types of yoga(hot, iyengar, power, vinyasa, gentle, yin), pilates, spin classes and barre ????????????????????????

16.5 months out (vsg 12.12.13)

Avocado was hard for me to tolerate initially (first 6 months out really) but now I'm 16.5 months out and love it.... Initially it caused a stinging pain and my nut said its pointless in the beginning cause they have little protein. Now I enjoy it with my sushi hand rolls on a regular basis ????????????

I'm 15 months out and recently tried sushi rolls first time post op a few weeks ago as I missed it dearly ???????????? I ❤️????sushi and at one point had it 2-3 times a week prior to surgery. At this point I only get rolls without any rice - spicy tuna or salmon or scallop types with avocado -- i take my time and can only get in 3-4 pieces of one roll. its soooo good and i dont miss the rice one bit???? i wait about 20/25 minutes before attempting 4th piece

From 293 to 163ish, 5'8" 14 months out

Totally know what U mean. I "tested" my sleeve at about 6 months out to see if I could handle cookies and I got in an entire "sleeve" of gluten free sandwich cookies within 5 minutes ???????????? I was shocked and even more shocked that I could have kept going cause I felt little to no discomfort. Oreos and I cannot be around each other for very long or I will attack them ferociously ???????????????? it's all about balance and discipline. I'm glad my sleeve won't allow me to tolerate too much or any cake or fried foods, Pasta, rice, bread. I do enjoy chips and crackers occasionally sometimes too much ????

Didn't really notice hunger until about 7 months out when I started kicking up my workouts -- I workout nearly 7-9 times per week including hot yoga, power yoga, Pilates, barre and spin classes so I burn a lot!! Some days I do a double workout (power yoga & spin) so I burn over 1000 on those days and really need to replenish. Everyone's different first few months I was emotional because everyone around me was eating what they wanted when they wanted and I was so incredibly restricted especially with post op gastritis and inflammation. It gets better just be patient. Now I can tolerate cookies chips and crackers way too easily ???????????? I have to watch out!

Thanksgiving went pretty well - I took a spin class that same morning because I knew I wasn't going to deprive myself of my very own homemade baked goods (New York style cheesecake and carrot cake with cream cheese icing ????) I had a tiny bit of just about everything (ham, lamb, chicken, collards, stuffing, sweet potato, turkey stew, mushrooms) and I just nibbled on my plate for a few hours ???????????? I got in under 1700 calories for the entire day. I track routinely on my fitness pal app. So Proud of me! How was your 1st turkey day?

See comment above - I quoted the wrong response ????

I eat quite a bit too these days I think due to my intense workouts (hot yoga, power yoga, Pilates, barre and spin) some days I'm over 2000 calories easily and sad to say a couple times I went over 3000 ???????????????????????????? but those were days where eating started at midnight and ended at 11pm???? including "bad" Oreos and rich protein cookies - I have to be careful but I'm thankful with my activity level and the muscle tone I've built thus far. Still can't eat much meat at one time- literally only a few bites before I get "full" or a little uncomfortable ????

----Yes I'm happy too with my progress, but fearful of gaining as I have pre wls days. Oreos and crackers go down my sleeve incredibly easy ????????

How tall are you? 122 is low ????????congrats!!

HW 293 back in 2009-2010 SW ~240 12/12/2013 CW 165.8 TPL 127 TGP 132 goal is to maintain 156-160 ish but I'm happy with progress and due to my height of just under 5'8" I look a lot less than my true weight
