I don't have a lot of friends. I had my sleeve about 4 years ago. 2 years ago my best friend since we were 12 decided she didn't want to be friends anymore. She told other people we have in common that I changed since I lost a lot of weight, and she didn't like the person I've become. Growing up we had always been about the same size, so when I had the surgery that was no longer the case. I may have changed since surgery, I spend more time outside, I go workout, I count calories but I didn't turn into someone kind of superficial Bish. It's been two years and it still stings like it happened yesterday Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Not in the program, but a member of state of Louisiana OGB. I financed my surgery myself 4 years ago. Another lady in my office, did the heads up program, and was sleeved in March. Just wanted to tell you ladies hi and good luck! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Oh yes, weighing daily is also a must now that I'm back on track! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm very pleased with the amount of restriction I still have with Protein dense meals 4 years out, I can still only eat 3-4oz of meat at a meal. I did a lot research before I had my surgery deciding which one was the best for me (I was self pay, insurance did not cover it) And this is why I chose the sleeve. It's become a realization to me that I will have to log my food forever. My biggest nightmare is to gain all the weight back. I'm 5-09, and my weight on the day of surgery was 276, lowest weight was 174, current weight is 195, goal weight is 168. Thank you all for the kind words. It's hard not to beat yourself up for regain. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh my goodness it's been awhile since I've been here! I only see a few names I recognize! I had my sleeve on 06/12/12. I lost 102 lbs. unfortunately I have gained 35lbs within the last two years. About a month ago, I started weighing and logging my food on mfp again. I started gaining when I stopped logging my food and making myself accountable. Since I started logging again I've lost 14lbs. So now I'm 21lbs away from my lowest weight and 27 away from my original goal weight. I'm going to do this. The good thing about my sleeve is even though I fell off the wagon, it's still here to help me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
