Excellent!!! What do you contribute your success to? I read many posts from people struggling with weight gain and not feeling the restriction after some time. I am four months out and worried about putting the weight back on. Any advice for long term success?

My apologies, I never saw this post! I attribute my success with making sure I'm on plan like 80% of the time. The first few years I was pretty strict with myself. The longer I am in maintenance, the more confident I am in what I can eat and how it affects my body. I can look at something and just know that's not going to go well. I also NEVER push my sleeve. I don't stuff myself. At the first hint of fullness, I am done. Each time I have tried to push my sleeve I have ended up in the toilet. At 4 years out, throwing up is still gross! I don't like doing it and I don't like the way certain foods make me feel so I don't eat them. I still have great restriction and I respect my sleeve.

The people that I see that have gone through regain go through a period where they just want to be normal and live normal and fall out of those good habits we established right after surgery. We are not normal. Just because you lost a ton of weight and are now thin doesn't make you a naturally thin person with a rapid fast metabolism. You are still physiologically an altered person. We live our lives by certain rules and the sooner we come to grips with that, the better maintenance will go.

Not saying my eating is always stellar, because it isn't. However for the most part, I keep it high Protein, lowcarb. A treat here and there. I CAN eat stuff like bread/rice/pasta... but I fill up on that stuff so fast that I can't get in any good solid protein, and then I'm hungry again too soon.

I was just sleeved today by Dr Hart. I live in Fayetteville. So glad to read others stories about their experience! Thank you all for sharing!!

Hi there! I was sleeved by Dr Hart also, on May 15th, so I'm exactly 8 weeks out today. Lost 35 since surgery, 50 since heaviest weight. I'm doing really well, but I like to drink alcohol a few times a week. Vodka doesn't bother me at all, but trying to find new ideas for mixers. Seems like everything is either sugary or carbonated. Any yummy suggestions for what you drink?
