Well tomorrow makes the two year anniversary since my Gastric sleeve operation.. I can safely say its the best thing I have ever done in my life.. Every thing has changed for the better for me .. I have lost over 9stone 4lb. (130lb) So I stand at 5ft 1' and weight 9stone (126lb).. I would still like to drop a little more and maybe deal with the loos skin on my stomach as that must weigh a few pounds in itself but all in all very happy I did this..

Wow! There are a lot of success stories on here, but I haven't seen too many that are literally less than half the size they used to be. And to be two years out and maintaining it is even better. Way to go!

Thank you everyone! Still want to drop about 8lb but I'm going in the right direction. To reGain weight was never an option and For thiis not be a success story was never going to be an option, this op cost me £10k and was very painful and it's been a long hard road but well worth it.. I'm now slim fit and healthy and to put it simply there is no ever going back... I think to make it work this is the only attitude to have , it's not a quick fix , it's a life style change. Good luck to others doing this but there is really no reason for it not to work... Not matter how hard things get just think of the end goal...

Did you do your op in the UK or overseas? I went overseas to chezch rep, 9 months out and 70lb down. No movement this past month but partly my fault as over Christmas period I had too many carbs. New year and new push forward now. I want to lose 100lb.

Well done on your tremendous loss and thank you for posting as lots of people look for posts where sleevers are more than 1 year out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
