    tinkerbell123 got a reaction from Ruby Woo in How is the sleeve still working after 3-5 years?   
    I was sleeved 2011. Initially lost a Ton of weight the first year but have never reached my "goal" weight of 140. I Started at 276, today at 181. It's been tough, snacking has been a real problem for me and yes you do get the hunger feelings back, I don't care what they say.... My stomach rumbles if I don't eat for more than 3-4 hours. Doctor said it was most likely gas and not hunger pangs. Also really think about the psychological part of it, not being able to eat certain foods or large amounts of food gets to some people. Also I lost more than half my hair the first year and have never been able to get it all to grow back. I really need to just get back on track ???? but I still believe having VSG was the best decision I ever made & have no regrets! Hope this helps.

    tinkerbell123 got a reaction from vsgm in Ugh! It Was Easier The First 6 Weeks Post-Op When I Couldn't Eat Anything!   
    Im 7 weeks post op & I feel the exact same way!! I keep thinking it's ok to have just a small piece of this or a sliver of that, all the while knowing I'm just fooling myself! I have a desk job & I was a snacker before surgery and it hasnt changed, I find myself eating small pieces of whatever is around. I finally just threw away all the Snacks at my desk to avoid temptation & I'm gonna concentrate on drinking my Water instead. We'll get there, be strong!
