mistysj 1,940 Posted December 16, 2013 Go Misty! Proud of you! I am below goal and really trying to get things to slow down. Working hard on that! Keep in touch! 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! 1 Blessedfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k8tee 7 Posted April 28, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!

k8tee 7 Posted April 29, 2015 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 ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbarahadz1 84 Posted April 29, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenlynlin 4 Posted May 7, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k8tee 7 Posted May 24, 2015 I am thinking the exact same thing now too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
