sleeve 4 me

I'm stable (Not likely to change (back that is) or fail; firmly established) LOL! I have to keep reminding myself I didn't gain this weight back overnight and I can't lose it overnight. I'm seriously changing some bad habits and keeping on!
My 3 year anniversary is August 27th and I have exactly 4.0 lbs. to be back to my normal bmi goal weight...I would love to do it by then! Fingers (and toes) crossed

Hi Everyone :-)
Today is my 4 year anniversary. I was the one that originally asked the question about weight gain after surgery. Well I'm here to tell you that you can definitely GAIN WEIGHT BACK and not just a few pounds.
Although I'm very content and blessed to be wearing a size 8 today I was actually wearing some size 4's years ago. And was a perfect size 6 for over 3 years.
My goal weight was to reach 150 lbs. (a normal BMI weight for me). I got as low as 144 lbs. Today 4 years out I weigh 165 lbs. I have reached as high as 170 lbs. during my period.
The sleeve is a PHENOMENAL tool and 4 years out I STILL have amazing restriction. The weight gain is from not eating properly, PERIOD. For the MOST part I'm still making pretty good choices, but obviously there are choices that haven't been all that great to gain all this weight back.
I know age has something to do with it as well. I am 46 going on 47 and lots of changes going on lol. BUT NO EXCUSES for sure.
Again I'm content and watching my weight pretty closely now to make sure I don't gain any more weight and would love to be back to 150-155 lbs. I know it's possible for sure.
I'm so thankful for my sleevie.

You are 100% Laura!!! There's just no easy way around it. It's an awesome tool and you have seemed to master it. Congrats!!!!
Listen to Laura people!!!! If you don't want to gain, STAY ON THE PLAN!!!
I hope to report back one year from now back on track and back at my normal BMI range.
Best wishes to all :-)

I am now 5 1/2 years out and still at my original goal of 135 at 5'7. I've gone through menopause in the last 2 years and no change in weight. I have exercised religiously for many many years now and watch what I eat like a hawk. That's truly what it takes. So in January I'll be 6 years out and no doubt still rocking my size 4 jeans!

Yup I totally agree. Weight distorts...my daughter (13) is totally getting sick of all the whoop la when people discover my age ...they say things like omg your mom looks like your sister blah blah blah...the dentist assistant asked my son (18) how he felt about having such a young looking mom, he didn't know what to say, poor guy.

I guess I'll be the first, I'm 42:thumbup: whoo hoo! And I can't wait for the day I FINALLY have a "Normal" BMI and finish my 40's better than ever:001_smile:

OK so you would fall under the 1-5 lbs. I understand you normally lose it, but I'm really just interested in the MOST weight gain sleevers have had.

Thanks sweets!

My son will be 20 years old tomorrow and FINALLY LOST ALL THE BABY WEIGHT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

HI Y'all,

I wanted to do some research with REAL people instead of reading about it in some report.

I'm wondering how much weight (IF ANY) you have gained since being sleeved. I go up between 1-3 lbs. so my answer would be 1-5 lbs.

I'm curious to see how this goes.

Thanks!

Hahahahahaha! I agree there are MANY MANY MANY Ways to modify the poll, but I really just want to know exactly what I asked. How much weight gained (IF ANY)?

WOW! Great to hear! Thanks for posting!

Yes you will be able to guzzle again yayyy!
Negative on the eating and drinking at the same time. That's the worse thing about the sleeve for me. But it's worth it.
