I have heard you should raise your calories by 100 for a few weeks and then 100 more until eventually you will stabilize. It's not much! Some nuts or Peanut Butter (carefully measured) or avocado will do it, or the occasional treat like ice cream, or switching from skim to 2% milk. Just don't overdo it and pay attention to trigger foods or sliders. You will find the right balance for your body I am sure!

Hi everyone, I haven't been on any forum about this in at least 1year or so.

I'm 2 years post sleeve op on May 7th and have lost 27kg but put back on 5kg. I think this is the end of my journey and sadly still have to lose another 25kg to get to my goal weight. It's like an endless diet and not a lifestyle change. I don't know how much more I can possibly do to make me lose weight. I've tried everything and it's like my body resists it.

Has anyone been sleeved and experiencing the same issues? Sorry for sounding like a Debbie downer but I'm feeling I'm at the last resort now.

Hey K8tee

I can definitely relate. I was sleeved May 2013. Lost 90 pounds in the first year and put on 8 pounds the second year.

I've lost 4 of the 8 pounds but I'm fighting to keep it off. I guess I'm in maintenance but I don't want to be. I need to lose another 40 pounds. It's a real struggle. I know I have to cut calories and move more but it's depressing not being able to lose even one pound!

It's really hard isn't it? I feel like I've done everything then it just gets harder and tiresome. It's nice to know I'm not alone though. Thank you ????

It can be very hard to lose the weight but before the surgery it was impossible (for me). I tend to get into a routine of eating the same foods every day. It's easier and no surprises.

I think if I change things up a bit it may help get things moving. Looking forward to year three :)

I am 2 years out also. I initially lost 73 pounds - nowhere near my goal - and now I've put 15 back on. At this point, I really wish I would have gone the gastric bypass route.

      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.
