I gained most of my weight back ! I am starting the 5 day pouch test and trying to get back to losing and getting to where I wanted to be 3 years ago! Anyone else have a similar case ??? I'd like to know if you have ever recovered from the feeling like a failure and if you have ever made goal?

Well i have finally found a protein powder I love so I thought I would share !! It's affordable and only 2 grams of carbs and 25 grams of protein !!I have been struggling a lot latley but here we go hopefully I can get over this mountain !

I actually found that I have to keep mine under 15 most times but still that is difficult and minimal loss

Good luck I struggle daily

Lol its ok i understand lol

Hi ! Ya I was talking about the 5 day pouch test !! Thank u though! !

Wow these responses are over whelming in the fact that I don't feel alone!! Thanks everyone for all your ideas and sharing your struggles! I never lost with the 5 day pouch test !! I was wondering what soups everyone has tried for day 1 and 2?? Did anyone eat Campbell's soup? I figured it would be too high in carbs!

I think we all need support wether at goal or not ! U post when ever you feel like it I'll try and check more often and help when I can !

I Agree as well my sister who went with me can eat whatever she wants ! But I have always been that person that can't I'm just hoping i can get where I'm happy with myself

Thanks !! Ya i have done my research I spend hours reading so I am doing the 5 day pouch test as we speak

Anyone have weight gain ?? And have all your weight come back on but started back to basics and it all worked out ?

Has anyone ever gained back there weight and went for a second vertical sleeve surgery? I ask because I am back to my old depressed self and I have gained back almost 50 lbs I cant seem to lose the weight im back to eating really restricted one week then fall off the wagon for three days then get back on it and my weight does not go down but 1 lbs at a time seems to increase.

I never went into this journey blind. I knew this was just a tool to help me with this life long struggle of losing weight. but i have fallen back into the same old pattern. The only difference is i cant eat much. i dont eat alot of bread or those kind of carbs veggies make me extremely gassy even though i was blaming bread im nvr thirst so i have a hard time drinking water. i still can drink alcohol like i used to which i plan to give up starting tomorrow so that i can get this back on track. what through me off is the stall i have been in for a long time. i cant shake it. but now i have even gained 4 pounds. what the heck. the once a week that i do have a beer or two or more you wouldnt think would stop my weightloss. the carbs i dont eat you think would help but it aint. the most i might consume for calories is 1000 cals. that if i am eating bread or candy or crap like that. im frustrated im disappointed. i dont know what to do with myself. and the slips with the food or the drinkin is all cause im disappointed. I think i am gonna try boot camp and see where i go from there because i cannot handle this. this feels worse than when i would diet before. except before i know i consumed to many calories. where now i aint even eating 1/4 of them and still no loss.grrrr. anyone else experience an almost 2 month stall? my weight has maybe changed by 2 lbs in the last month or 2. i still have 90lbs to lose before my goal and i am almost 5months out and still only down 42lbs. HELP

no got worse now I'm trying to lose 40 lbs and back to dieting

I am struggling with weight gain and it's been almost 3 years ! I was considering a re sleeve but not sure how risky it is ! And hernia's can keep happening depending on where they are located and the pressure on she weakened muscle and tissue ! What have u figured out about the weight gain ??

Here's my little story! December 9, 2011 I had Gastric Sleeve surgery and thought that i had it all figured out. Turns out i did real good for awhile but my weightloss stopped may 2012 and hasnt ever restarted, its been 2 years and i have gained 30lbs back. I find myself back to fad dieting and getting depressed. Also i never even got close to my goal weight. I wanna know if there is anyone else out there that has had this problem and if soo what they were doing that has had to change or health issues anything i need some insight . thank you

Yes i do !! I cannot eat much at all thats why it is so upsetting

I am in kind of in the same boat but different situation. I fell off the wagon and rolled down the hill! I nvr dreamed for a second that i would ever have to deal with my weight ever again. I hear of a lot of people who cant stop losing and it seems i started gaining. Im angry at myself for not staying focused. Its also hard to always still try to diet and healthy food seems to not go in as easy as the bad food . chin up my friend you are not alone. I hope you can get back on track cause everyday is a huge struggle for me.

Hi how's everyone doin ? So I am a year and a half post op ! I have developed allergies and now have to watch everything I eat cause I don't lose and will gain weight so my advice follow the after plan of sleeve surgery to a "t" but I was wondering If anyone else has developed an allergy to food ? I still have to figure out what it is !

So here i am 8 months later started with some bad habits and then completely fell off the wagon. i am worried that my sleeve is stretched and that i wont lose any more weight. I need to start at the beginning again. so anybody know if i follow the pouch test if that will help me get back to basics like make my sleeve feel like it did in the beginning? I mean i still cant eat alot. unless its liquidy. i sitll can only eat half a weiner or 3/4 or 1 egg things like that but i feel hungry or want to eat every few hours. is this normal or is it all in my head. if i have bread i can only have one slice but still. i do drink carbonated beverages they dont bother me will that stretch my sleeve or is it just over eating. i dont see how a liquid could stretch your sleeve. i can see how over eating. I need help like food councilling no doubt i know i am a food addict but i am aware of it just dont know how to stop i got this sleeve to change my life and it has but i still have failed to give up some habits. i find meat really hard to eat and i am lazy. lol well i just need some re adjusting and some help 12 steps for the foodaholic. lol well thanks for listening. just hoping its not to late and a ruined this wonderful tool. thanks again

does anyone find raw vegetables hurt or give you abdominal pain after you eat them? what about dairy?
