How is your journey 3 years out?



Recommended Posts

I am almost three years out from being sleeved in June 2013. My highest weight was 302 lbs. my current weight is 173 lbs. I have gained about 15 pounds from my lowest weight since surgery. 10 of those pounds came within the last year. I am ready to jumpstart the weight-loss again and would like to hear from others who've had my same situation.

I was sleeved May 30, 2013. I lost 80 lbs and had never really had any problem with weight gain until last year. Then my husband retired and a month later found he had prostate cancer then successful surgery. I eat when stressed and surprise..... Before I realized it I had regained 40 lbs. Now I plan every nite to get back on track and fail before 10:00 each day. So disappointed with myself.

It happens, but sounds like you have a good plan to get back on track. You might want to poke around for some of the threads on resetting your sleeve by doing a pre-op diet.

Sound good. I have read about resetting pouch. Mine is emotional eating and to get back on track I am seeing a psychologist starting Friday. Hope and pray I can regain control.

@emleyrose- do not be discouraged. Everyday is an opportunity to make a new start. You will find your way because you want to. Stress is a slippery slope that leads to depression and other undesirable consequences. Find a local support group and go. Face to face encouragement is so so important. Focus on the positive things and make your changes slowly and day by day. You did it before and you're strong enough to do it again!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
