I am 27 months (2 years & 3 months) out. I was sleeved in April 2015 and have been maintaining my goal weight since September 2016.

So far I've been pleased with my sleeve. :)

This is awesome!! You all are inspiration for me! I need to lose more weight! I have been staying around the same weight for about 2 1/2 years now, like proudgrammy said I do fluctuate about 5 up and 5 down. I did cave in and get a prescription for Contrave a couple of days ago😔 I pray it helps me! I am new to this site and I am loving it!

So question for all you veterans, I'm 9 months out from surgery, at goal weight, feel amazing but I'm noticing some old habits starting to creep back up. In particular I'm having a lot of head hunger, cravings and urges to snack. How do you stop yourself from doing that! I need tips and tricks to stay on track!

      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.
