Butterflyeffect 122 Posted April 27, 2023 Hi everyone, now that it’s been over 2 years since our surgeries, just wondering how everyone is traveling? Did you reach your goals? Are you maintaining? Would love to hear your stories. For me, it’s been the best decision. I can eat a lot more now and have to be way more careful with my choices but I find I can bring it back under control if I go back to the basics and monitor my carb intake.

PuraVida37 715 Posted May 12, 2023 I lost 110 lbs, but have put back 10 due to careless binge eating of sliders. I am re-addicted to sugar and it's making me slowly put weight back on. I need to get myself back under control and include more Protein. In more positive news, I am a runner now and have a 10K coming up. I'm so excited!! 1 Butterflyeffect reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vhannah 0 Posted May 14, 2023 I had my sleeve done on March 22. Also had a 3cm hiatal hernia repair at the same time. About 7-8 weeks out. food tastes different sometimes and the Vitamins make my stomach ache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melikeyzzz 4 Posted May 14, 2023 Down about 83 pounds. My weight loss plateaued in year 2 despite exercise but I still lost inches. My tolerance for sugar has increased higher than I'd like but definitely not near pre surgery levels. I love that I don't experience the feeling of hunger and my portions are small but enough so I can look "normal" in social food situations. I need to find a new workout & tighten up my discipline again to get back on track to lose more. 1 Butterflyeffect reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njlimmer 343 Posted June 7, 2023 Hi All! So a little over two years, and it's mostly all good news! I've run like 6 5k races now, but I hurt my knew in April and haven't run for 2 months. Started running again this week, but it's amazing how hard it is to get back into that mindset. I'm 10lbs up from my goal weight that I had hit and maintained for a year so that's a little frustrating. I know I need to get back to basics, but that sugar craving is ROUGH! I also find that I'm mindlessly eating so that is part of what I need to nip in the bud before 10 becomes 20 and so on. It's so weird though... before I wouldn't have even noticed gaining 10lbs. Now I can FEEL it. Hope everyone else is doing well! 1 Butterflyeffect reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
