sleeve 4 me

UGH AND I started drinking diet soda again fountain only...OK one thing I will get back on is WAITING 30 minutes before and after eating. That is so awesome you have lost 22 lbs. you are half way to losing that 50 lbs. girl! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES all of the people I've heard that have gained a lot back or all of their weight back have been RNY...ARE THERE ANY SLEEVERS OUT THERE that have gained weight back???? Like I said in my post I gain 1-3 lbs. and then drop, but that's the most I've gained. Are there any sleevers out there that have gained 10, 20, 30 lbs back (besides Last Chance)?

OK lately I've been hearing that A LOT of wls people have gained or are gaining a lot of weight back after wls. I actually just met a lady in my panni class a few weeks ago that gained 50 lbs. back in a 2 year period...hearing this is TOTALLY freaking me out. I go up and down between 1-3 lbs. and that's the MOST I've gone up. Are there any sleevers out there that have gained 10, 15, 20, and up??? If so, how long did it take for you to gain???? Also, by any chance do you drink with your meals??? I use to be really strict about waiting the 30 minutes to drink after meals, but I'm finding that it's easier to drink sooner than the 30 minutes, and I'm wondering if that will contribute to weight gain. Right now I'm really trying to maintain (difficult stage to be in) and not counting or watching every bite I eat, because I really don't want to lose any more (for the MOST part I do make healthy choices), but on the other hand I'm freaking out about gaining my weight back after hearing about all these other folks. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hi Lisa! I am 11 1/2 months out and my uvula is still not 100% ...it is better but not the same as before my sleeve. I was told at my 9 month post op appointment I would need to see the ENT doctor, but I've had so many other appointments to go to I just haven't had time. I would suggest seeing the ENT ASAP. And please Let me know how it goes.

Becca you look BEAUTIFUL! I'm SOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU! CONGRATS AND HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a burning pain immediately after surgery. Then when I tried to sip, it felt like swallowing a golf ball (every time). Oh yeah and the concrete bowels OMGosh I really thought I was going to have to go the emergency, but it passed (literally). Mentally I felt like a failure for not being able to drink my protein shakes, drink enough water, or take my vitamins (that was depressing)...But it was all worth it!

That is awesome!!!! Yayyyy!

CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahaha! That's totally ok. All feedback is appreciated ...Ok so swift is definitely the way to go! Thanks
