I'm so interested in what folks have to say about this. I too had the sleeve and my Gerd disappeared but now 3 yrs later and almost all my weight gained back in the past year due to personal loss that caused depression my Gerd is back worse then ever before. So I've been thinking about revision surgery.

It happens to the best of us!
The key is to never give up. I am also working on getting the gained weight off and getting to goal as I will be 4 years out in July. I never did get to goal, I got pretty close.
But, I am back on track and looking forward to getting to goal. I am coming back to this community after a long hiatus and looking forward to everyone's stories.
Good luck to all.

Thanks for this post I'm 2 years postop, very similar story gained 15 back

It's only 15 pounds. I gained 6 pounds 7 months later. Find your information package from before when you had the surgery and read it all over again. It reminds us of what small thins we shouldn't be doing which we forget over time. I knew what i had done wrong and how to get back on track. You can do it too.
Just refresh your mind with that information and treat your body as if it were going through the entire procedure again. I am sure you will lose the weight.

Its so amazing how much younger one looks after losing weight!

I loose weight very slowly also. I am 57 and my metabolism before surgery was shot. I have found that if I limit my calories to 800 per day, I lose weight. To do that, I am still relying heavily on Protein Shakes. I use AdvantEdge chocolate fudge shakes. They taste good, have 17 grams of Protein, and are 110 calories. Hope this helps.

I'm new to sleeve but I have been working on a high Protein cookbook of micromeals for years. How does cheesecake sound? 110 cal per slice and 14g protein and cheap and easy to make. (7 bucks worth of ingredients or so, makes 6-8 portions) and SOFT to eat. I'm giving this from memory, so I'm thinking this is right. Into a blender goes 1scoop chocolate Protein Powder, 2 fat free cottage cheese bricks, 1 c. Fat free cottage cheese, 1 c egg beaters or egg whites, flavoring (can be vanilla, butter nut, almond, etc) a pinch of salt, 1 T. Stevia and 8 packets splenda, 1/4 c. Cocoa powder. Blend completely, scraping down the sides of the blender. Bake in a parchment lined springform pan at 325 until just set. Cool. Enjoy. It's great to have a diet cheesecake on plan for Breakfast. Just sayin'

After (now)

Down 50 since highest weight ! 33 since sugery! From size 22 to 16 that are loose, I'm simply amazed!

I like Clusie!

Get your fluids in. Do it anyway you can. I personally don't like additives, but if that helps you need to do it ASAP. Are you taking any vitamins/ supplements? Not every doctor prescribes B12 but mine did and it helped. Lastly and this is going to sound off, exercise. Nothing strenuous but try taking a 15 -20 minute walk. I always feel more energized after working out. Some seem to feel it's the endorphins secreted.

20lbs in two weeks is awesome, I've been on pureed for 8 days, I'm ready for next phase. I'm getting Fluid and Protein in but not enough food.

You go girl!

Hope all of my buddies are doing well. My physician is awesome, I went back to work last Tuesday and have worked 5 shifts with no problems, its amazing to think just 2.5 weeks ago I was 20lbs heavier.
I too was sleeved 4/20

6 Months After Surgery

Check-in, my surgery went well, and I'm feeling a lot better than expected,

Check in time for me is 945. In this moment, I'm feeling to blessed to be stressed!

Congratulations!!!
POD3 for me, sleeved 4/20! Doing good, muscle pain in stomach but tolerable, I feel so good I sometimes wonder if it was really done. Not liking the taste of shakes right now but getting at least 40_50g of Protein in.
