Any regain at all?

I'll be 2 years in February. Lost exactly 100lbs. No regain. Running marathons now (literally)

Can eat anything, but totally stay away from pop and slurpees (my vices)

Any regain at all?

Not till just this fall / winter, seems the cut back in exercise (too cold and dark to ride my bike) and the holiday food have led me to put on about 2 pounds. I am trying to cut back, to lose it again, it's a LOT easier than it used to be, at least I don't have the constant gnawing hunger like I used to.

I am over three years out and still in love with my sleeve. I was a band to sleeve revision and have no regrets at all. I can eat more than I was able to the first year, but still not anything close to what I did pre-surgery.

I'll be 4 years this April too.

I can eat way more than I could at one year, but I don't think I can eat too much. If I think I can eat more, and try, I am really very uncomfortable and I hate that feeling. I hate being too full. So I have learned where to stop.

I have regained about 10 lbs over my lowest weight but I have been this weight for a year. I don't seem to gain or lose, even if I try to lose. I am a pretty happy sleever.

I'm only 1 1/2 years post, so I'm not sure this is worthy but you wanted more stories. I have a 40f bougie. I can eat more now, but not enough that would allow regain unless it was in french fries and ice cream. I am still losing but only about a pound per month. I am near goal, so I expect to stop losing soon. I can eat whatever I want, but I still stick to eating healthy. I had an oreo last week, first cookie in a very long time. I can eat 2 eggs and 2 pieces of turkey bacon for Breakfast. I am full off that and won't want to eat again for hours. For lunch I often have a piece of fish with veggies, salad with some grilled chicken or shrimp or half a sandwich or a cup of Soup. I can eat 6oz of Protein, but I tend to eat 4oz and have some veggies with it.

It also changes. There are days I can eat a slice of thin crust pizza (minus the crust) and other days I can only eat half.

Grapes fill me up fast, apples too.

I won't regain. I just won't. I got into a size 8 last week, and by get into, I mean it fit. If I stay this size forever, I'm happy. If I lose another 10, I'm happy, but I won't ever get bigger than I am now. I still weigh daily and will adjust as needed.

Not 2 years year more like 1 and a half. I eat anything I want. Just can eat a lot which is great. I can eat a sandwhich if I eat slow. I do not eat salads. They fill me up to fast. I stay away from soft drinks. If I gain 2 pounds I can skip a meal & it goes away the next day. Love it. Just like Rootman said it is a lot easier.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
