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.

      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.
