Success after 5 years?



Recommended Posts

Have heard many of stories of gaining the weight back. Does anyone have a success story of losing the weight and keeping it off. I understand a few pounds but is it really possible to keep the majority of the weight off?

@@kimpatcan

yes!!!!

gaining a little weight back???

sure you can :wacko:

12/2011 i had my surgery - lost 105 lbs (GOAL)

now 2+ years post op i fluctuate3-5 lbs over goal :angry:

some people have gained more :o

but..............many more continue to do great, and don't gain

you must always stay on your toes

the sleeve is not a magic pill :huh:

you must always be diligent with your eating for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life

that being said...........if you gain some weight, going back to basics

working hard again, getting back on track you "should" be able to lose the weight

ou work with the sleeve - and the sleeve will work for you :)

sounds like you are pre-op

i understand you being curious about possible regain

but you haven't even had surgery yet

work hard with the rules et al post surgery

if you "want/must" think about possible gain at some time

use that thought as a reminder/motavator that you must stay true to yourself and your new life by eating correctly

good luck :)

      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.
