Thank you for the encouragement[emoji4] I started carb cycling which limits carbs to 50g per day so I'm eating protein first and all day lol it's not easy cause I'm craving sweets especially bread and [emoji515], but I'm trying my best to stick to it.

I will be honest, I believe my sleeve worked and I still do feel restriction, but I can eat a lot more than I used too. I get hungry frequently and I was eating a lot of carbs, I get full a lot quicker when I have protein first. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's so awesome! Congrats! I remember the feeling, but as someone said previously, do not buy a lot of new clothes, you will lose more and you'll just be wasting your $. Save it for when you're at your ideal weight [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, I was sleeved November 2011, after having my first child 2 years ago I gained all my weight back. I was wondering if anyone has been sleeved twice? I'm contemplating the idea, but of course I will have to talk to my Dr about it. I've tried the 5 day pouch test and didn't work for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The ouch test is pretty much going back to basics. Day 1 Clear liquids day 2 Protein shakes and clear liquids day 3 puréed food day... You can google 5 day pouch test it'll come up Good vibes your way

Hello- how did your pouch test work out? Hi, it worked well. I lost 4 lbs but I can't get myself to stick to a routine

Hi, like you I've gained. My lowest was 190 and I am now 265. I started the 5 day pouch test today. I hope this helps me get on track. Maybe you should try it as well

Well I'm right with you!! I had the sleeve done 11/27/11. My lowest was 190 I'm now 265. I started the 5 day pouch test (let's see how that goes) maybe you should try it too

Hi I'm Vanessa I was sleeves 11/27/2011. Lost 80lbs and gained them all back☹️. Currently doing the 5 day pouch test to get back on track. Word of advice to the newbies you can gain the weight back so keep yourself on check

Im 4 years post op and let me tell you it's normal, but it goes away once your able to eat solids. By that time you won't crave any junk food because you will have gone through carb withdraw. I lost 80lbs with this tool but I gained them all back. Now I'm doing the 5 day ouch test to see if my pouch still works. I wish I were in your shoes right now as weird as that sounds lol

What is carb cycling? I'd like to do the pouch test but I can't while I am trying to get my bone to graft. Check out http://www.5daypouchtest.com

I've gained all my weight back???? My lowest was 190 and I am now 265. I just started carb cycling today a coworker did it and she lost 60lbs. I tried doing the pouch test but wouldn't stick to it. I did the first two days and couldn't figure what to eat on the third day.

Thank you all for your advice I really appreciate it

I don't know how to set up my profile lol My start weight was 260 I dropped down to 109 and I am now 225. My goal weight is 150. I have a question for you, how long should I stay on the clear liquid stage? And thank you so much for your help

Thank you for your advice!

Hi everyone, I am 2 1/2 years post op and I've gained 35 lbs. I'm getting married in June and instead of losing weight I keep gaining. Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone know how what stage should do start on so I can shrink my stomach again? Any info would be appreciated.
