I had the gastric sleeve 2 years ago. I can still only eat about 4 oz and I get full. Is that good or bad? Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes and no. I believe that she had a blood clot. It really hurts me that she's gone. She struggled her whole life being unhappy because of her weight. She then found something that could help her achieve happiness and she dies. It hurts really bad. Sorry about the sad story. I just wanted to share. Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you. Im going to start, like you said, with more dense protein. Im not real big on meat. Its never been a favorite of mine so that's a struggle. I will try the eggs though. I drink premiere protein drinks sometimes. Congratulations on your new beginning as well. Its exciting to see those pounds drop. I know my scale was tired of me. I weigh myself weekly now. I used to do it daily. Thank you for your condolences. My sister was my best friend. She was 46. She struggled all of her life being over weight. She had the gastric sleeve surgery and 3 weeks later, she passed away. Its horrible. Just when she was doing something to improve her quality of life. It really hurts. We always did things together. Just like the surgery. Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

Please share! You look like a billion bucks and I need to get rich too! I am almost 2 years post op. I've lost 105 lbs and it's been just that for the past year. I need help and more motivation. I still have a goal. I want to loose at least 70 more pounds. Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the gastric sleeve surgery on March 21, 2016. Almost 2 years ago. I started out at 320. Im currently down to 215. I've been 215 since September 2016. I don't believe that I've stretched my stomach. I've just been eating really wrong. I want to begin losing again. Can any offer some suggestions as to getting back losing again? After the death of my sister in September of 2016, I haven't been able to focus. Please help!!!??? Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh my. You look awesome regardless of the extra skin. Is sleeved have to deal with that. I am a year and 5 months post op. I've lost 105 pounds. I still want to lose about 60 more pounds. I've fallen off of my routine due to different circumstances that have occurred but I plan to get back on track. Much success to you!!! Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

Damn girl, you're really doing a great job!!! Keep going!!! Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

Ohh wow!! No don't end your life please! I hate that you're dealing with this. It will get better as time goes on and your stomach will eventually be able to take a little more food. Can you drink protein at all? If so, do that and go slow on what you can tolerate. Its a trial and error with eating after surgery. Its been a year and 5 months and I still have to be selective. I still eat small amounts because I'm still trying to lose. Please seek support groups and talk with a gastroenterologist. Keep us updated. Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

Be careful with acid reflux meds. I just saw a commercial about potential kidney problems. There's a lawsuit out. I was sleeved one year and 5 months ago. I still have bad acid reflux. I started back using TUMS. I was using Prevacid but after I saw the commercial I quit. Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm one year and 5 months post op. How much should I Eat? Is 4 ounces all that I'll be able to eat? It took me an hour and 15 minutes to eat an average slice of pizza. Is that bad? Can anyone offer any good and beneficial advice? Sent from my VS990 using BariatricPal mobile app

Try using vitamins for hair such as the hair, skin and nails vitamins. Any kind with high biotin and also drink your protein. Hair Finity is also a good on too. Just look it up online.

Thank you all so much. Yours words are comforting and helpful.

You all are really helping me. I'm a back slider. On March 21st, 2017 will mark one year since my surgery. I started eating bad after my sister passed away in September 2016. I've eaten sweets, carbs, sugary stuff, etc. I haven't gained weight but I'm afraid if I continue on this path, I will. I need to "reset" my sleeve as well. I promised myself I will start with a liquid diet for 2 weeks and then go to soft foods and then the protein dense foods again to get me back on track. Do any of you think that this is wise? I need help!!!

OMG you look awesome!!! I'm 11 months post op too. I've lost 105 lbs so far. Ice for to get back in the gym. I lost my sister recently (she was a sleeved by only 3 weeks before she passed) and it has had me really down. I'm really happy for you. Great job!!! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App
