Right now I'm eating a small bag of Cheetos & drinking a Dr Pepper but it's little over a year & i eat anything in moderation & as fast as the Dr Pepper it just takes a while to drink & ive drank them several times its not expanding my sleeve like people say. Once you lose the weight eat in moderation & I still eat healthy but I also can't stuff myself. So it's hard to maintain my weight without looking too thin, never thought I'd say that. Lol but yes too thin isn't a good look for me. I wish everyone much success & don't look at it as cheating as long as it's moderation. Happy Eating ????

I never exercised one time. I have RA lupus fybro & back surgery chronic pain the list just keep going so i really couldn't exercise & the thought of water aerobics kinda grossed me out I'm not a big fan of public pools. Lol & I still lost all the weight i needed to & I didn't drink multiple nasty protein shakes a day. At first I did but when I was able to eat food I just ate small portions & that did the trick. I stay in bed a lot due to pain & id weigh myself I'd lost 10-15 pounds sometimes doing nothing.

I think that losing 100 pounds in a years is pretty awesome. & you'll definitely get there. One day you'll wake up & you skinny & then you'll could be like me struggling to not lose anymore. That's the hard part right now is I don't want to be too thin & look unhealthy. Keep doin what you doin & you'll get there.

It's been little over a year & I went from 246 to 138. I now eat whatever I want of corse smaller portions. I had a dr pepper the other day at lunch & I couldn't drink it all but I was able to have a few sips with my salad that I had. I'm really trying to maintain this weight & try not to lose anymore but it's kinda hard. Every week I lose 3-5 pounds a month. Not what I want at this point. I feel I'm skinny enough & happy at this size.

I wouldn't consider what I'm doing cheating. I'm at goal weight & have an issue maintaining weight. I eat all foods in moderation. & I do indulge in a frozen coke it doesn't hurt my stomach at all & it's very satisfying. I'm not sure how frozen beer would taste lol

It's been over 12 months since & im at goal actually trying to maintain or keep from losing anymore. I eat what I want in super moderation & my "cheat thing" is frozen coke. So yummy & zero carbonation only frozen coke satisfaction.

It's been over a year since gastric sleeve & I'm at my goal weight & that's awesome, however I've started experiencing extreme reflux it's waking me up & causing me to cough & wheeze painful in chest lung area. I take nexium 2-3 times a day but it's not controlling especially when I'm sleeping. I don't eat before bed & all I still drink is water. Please any advice?

I really want some fruit, what is the best ones to eat for people with the sleeve??

I'm 3 months post op & I've tried a few sips of Diet Dr Pepper slowly. It didn't cause any pain or discomfort. I've also drank a child's size frozen coke. It was so good! No pain with that either. My pouch is fine no stretching going on. No weight gain either. But I don't drink it daily.

Can someone tell me why when I eat my nose starts running?? It's very annoying I wish it would stop. There's a lot of things that are annoying but worth it.

That's my problem. Way too much acid & I've tried everything nothing really helps. I had my surgery on April 29. I still struggle to getting protein & fluids in. Takes me all day to drink one 16oz bottle of Water.

I just started having stomach pains in my lower stomach. Should I be worried about a leak?

Are you from Louisiana? Yes I am from Cajun country lol I'm also from Louisiana. They have a Louisiana thread but not too many post there I am also from Louisiana and will be sleeved August 20th. Good luck. Who's doing your surgery? What part of Louisiana are you from?

I had the exact issue when I had the test a few days after surgery. I stayed 3 days as well. That was the worse thing I've had to to that barium swallow. Eeew!! Gags me thinking about it. Lol

Does everyone have skin issues?

Does the apple juice your drinking have added sugar. Your not suppose to drink or eat anything high in sugar. That could be why your acidic & nauseated.

Iam also struggling with acid reflux started 2nd week. It hit hard. I gagged & Dry-heaved for weeks. I'm 6 weeks out & just now able to eat very small amounts of food. I'm ready to cross the next stage & start feeling better. Not so tired

I wish I knew. It takes me about 6 hrs to drink 1 bottle of water. I stay a little dehydrated only pee like twice a day. I just had kidney function test done. Feel pretty run down & tired. I'm fixing to have IV fluids.
