Today is my 3 year sleeveaversary! My weigh currently fluctuates between 137 and 141 and I'm happy with that. My goal weight is set to 125 however if I dont get there thats ok. I have to say maintaining is the hardest part. I exercise like a beast but I still need to work on my eating habits- they could be better. My goal this year is to meet with a nutritionist to help me with that.

keeping the weight off can be/is the harder part (in my opinion)

Wow! You're doing great. If you're happy with your weight, then mission accomplished! What was your lowest weight? You mentioned improving your eating. What are your problem areas? Sweets? bread? And when did you start straying toward poor choices.

lilijo my lowest weight was 134 and that was because I had to have a hysterectomy and stopped working out. Once I started CF again I weight went up to where I'm at now. My problem areas are sweets and I started to stray to them last year.

Congrats on your journey thus far. It is great to hear from folks a few years out. I'm a year and a half out and find myself in the same place you described, gaining and losing the same 5 lbs. I too need to buckle down and clean up the diet if I want to see sustainable loss. Thanks for posting, it is good to hear my experience is similar to others.

      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.
