U can gain it back. But if u count calories using my fitness pal or some way to record what u eat u will be ok. Some days u want to eat more. Some days u have to make urself eat. I have no hunger or very little. I am 9 months out lost 93 lbs. I am in maintenance now. Eating about 1000 cal a day. Still working out. If u eat too much u will puke. If I eat sweets I will get sick one way or another. If I eat fried foods I will too. It forces u to eat healthy. U cant snack or u will gain. U will find what we call slider foods. That slide right thru and u dont get full. Stay away from them. Dont slip into old habits. I just eat very small portions just little Snacks and get satisfied. Good luck. U will figure it out as u go.

At first u feel nauseous and ur in some pain. But it is so worth it. I am 9 months out and 93 lbs down. I would do it all over again in a second. It has been the best thing I have ever done. From 2x scrubs to mediums too big. I wear medium t shirts from xxl. Size 10 jeans from 22. Stick with it. Follow ur drs plan and u will see results. Each day u feel better. Hang in there.

My experience has been very good. I have puked several times, but other than that I am doing amazing. I love my sleeve. I just wish I would have done it sooner. I am down about 63 lbs and have 62 to go. Close to 5 months out. Very pleased with everything.

I am close to 5 months out.
For Breakfast I eat 1 egg 2 pieces of bacon
For morning snack I eat a Protein Bar
For lunch I eat 1/2 a lean cusine meal
For pm snack I eat a cheese stick
For dinner I eat very small portions of what I cook for my family. I usually just eat the meat and veggies.
This is around 1000 cal a day.
I started eating 600 cal then moved up to 800 when I stopped losing then just moved up to 1000.
For exercise I walk and do yoga.

I am 4 months out and I love my sleeve. I like eating less. And losing weight. I will never go back to how I ate before. There is just no way. I like eating healthy foods. I eat very small portions. Protein first. U gotta eat a lot of protein. I love it though. I love my new life. I eat a 1/2 of a lean cuisine for lunch. Then eat the other 1/2 the next day for lunch that is my luxury meal. At night I eat mostly protein. At Breakfast I eat 1 egg and 2 pieces of bacon. Again all protein. For a snack I have a Protein Bar. I love my new life. It is wonderful. I went from size 2X scrubs to large. And skin tight 22 jeans to very loose 16 s I can't wait to wear size 12. This has been a dream come true for me. All my life I have been overweight and I have always wanted to be skinny. I could never do it by myself. I was always starving. No I have no to very little hunger. I could not be happier with this surgery. I have lost 58 lbs so far. Just came out of a 3 week long stall. Those are not very fun. But they happen. U just gotta wait and they will pass. I am losing again now. I walk and do yoga. I really hope u get the surgery. It has made my life so wonderful! My husband is all over me. He always loved me before but is very handsy now that I have lost weight. Good luck.

My stall just broke. I have lost 2 lbs in the last 2 days. U just gotta wait it out.

U guys just wait u will be losing weight like crazy here pretty soon. The dreaded 3 week stall happened to all of us. I am 4 months out and have lost 56 lbs been stuck in a stall for 3 weeks now. It will pass u just have to wait it out. Before this stall I lost almost every day. About 3 lbs a week. Every week. Keep doing what ur doing it will happen. I went from 2X scrubs to large. From tight 22 to 16. Ready for more charges just gotta wait out this stall.

My surgery was 5-22-13. I have lost 56 lbs since surgery. 68 lbs till goal. Have been in a stall for a couple of weeks now. Trying to break thru it and still keep my head up. I am happy with my results but don't like the stalls.

U did the right thing by leaving. I have never looked at my husband and couldn't stand him. I love being around him all the time and never get sick of him. When ur with the right one u will just know and there will be no question about it. Good luck to u. U will love ur sleeve and ur new life. Find a good career to support urself and a man will come along eventually.

Thanks so much for posting this. I have never thought I had an eating disorder. Except now I throw up a lot. Not by choice. It was interesting to fill it out though because I am bi polar and have depression and anxiety. Thank u. I appreciate it.

I cheated on the pre op diet too, I was fine.back then I had no control over food and zero will power. I was in complete denial. I wouldn't suggest u keep doing it. It could cause complications. I have done great with my sleeve. I might have had a small bite of cupcake at a party once but I puked and haven't cheated since. I eat Protein first then veggies. I am very happy. I have lost 51.6 lbs in 3 months. I don't want that kind of stuff anymore. I just like clean eating. I have changed. My family ate pizza today. One of my old favorites. Didn't even bother me. I ate steak and veggies. I love my new life. My old life was gross to me now. Good luck to u on ur new life!

I feel for u! My mother in law is a total witch to me too! I feel so bad for u! Find a new group she doesn't know about. Quit talking to her when she calls only talk to her about the weather. Don't give her any ammo to use against u. Cut her outta ur life. That's what I did and I am much happier. Good luck to u and ur weight loss.

I work in a dentist office. I have seen people lose their teeth. Have gum disease. Have part of their jaw taken out. All because of smoking. It smells so bad. Please please I beg u don't start again. Every day without it ur lungs start to heal. Stop for urself. Stop for ur children. Stop for ur grandchildren. Please I beg u. U chose this operation because u chose life. Choosing cigarettes is choosing death!

Thank u for sharing. So happy for u that u have made it thru all of this and got ur sleeve and lost the weight. What an amazing story!

I am friends with alot of girls in a support group that eat Quest bars and other Protein Bars. I still drink Protein Shakes myself because I like them. Do whichever u like.

Happy with this! Had a few stalled days but I am happy.

My six month mark was 6/30 - down 85! Averageing about 10lbs a month. Hopefully it keeps up. Only 32lbs until i can apply for Air Force and 38 to my personal goal of 180. Id technically fall into the overweight BMI but i dont care. The BMI chart says for the HIGHEST normal BMI id need to weigh 168. That sounds gross skinny for someone my build.

I am down 102 and counting! Sleeved Dec. 5th 2012 I have dropped down from a size 22 to a 14. No regrets!

-100lbs
