I had my sleeve a year and a half ago and was wondering about approximate weight gain 2 or more years after surgery when the stomach has had time to stretch a little? Just looking for several years post surgery experiences. It seems like most people are pre surgery or only a few months post surgery on here. I weighed 231 and at goal weight of 135 but was wondering how hard it is to maintain as time goes by.

Hiya,

I am 2 1/2 years post op... never got to surgeon's goal of 154 never mind my personal goal of 138! 135 would be a dream for me, so well done to you! One thing I have noticed, that many sleevers around my time who made goal gained - some a little some a lot - so perhaps me not meeting goal in the first place has stopped me gaining??? Dunno???

Over the last 15 mths I have been in a stall - not lost a pound regardless of what I have done or not done; and I have tried everything. I have a bounce range of 164-168 and I am stuck here. I did go a little above this over Christmas but that is Christmas!!

I have noticed, over the last 6 mths, that I can eat a little more than I could at 12 - 18 mths post op and now I am really aware of my portion sizes. I don't want to gain - in fact, I won't gain!! I am starting to follow the primal blueprint train of thought to see if that way I can lose the extra ... I really want to get to my surgeon's goal at least. The good thing with the sleeve is that there is no expiry date on it

To maintain I think you still have to be aware of what you are eating and make sure that old habits don't come back. Keep a positive mental attitude towards food, remember it is fuel for the body and find other ways to reward and enjoy life.

Good luck in maintance

The skinniest I got was 130 (too skinny for me) then I jumped to 140. I was drinking up to four cups of coffee each with a spoonful of sugar (4spoons of sugar a day!) so I switched to splenda, now I'm down to 135. I go on sugar binges but now I try to stop myself by telling myself that I like the way I look better than the sugar (or chocolate) tastes!! Just wondering how others have faired with their weight down the road!

      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?

      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.
