    Hello everyone, I had my surgery on the 26th of February 2016... Almost four years now!

    I just wanted to show that it's possible to maintain your weight even after a few years... I'm happy with the decision I made even though I was only 23 back then. It changed many aspects of my life, mostly in a very good way!
    Here are some "before pics":

    Here are some pics from my 2019/2020 trip to Slovakia (I did Celebrate new year's eve with nice drinks, oops):

    Two years ago, I had the Sleeve.

    Since then I have lost more than fifty kilos, I have gained all my confidence back, found a girlfriend, a new job and it basically transformed my life.

    I have, through those two years, sometimes gained one or two kilos back when I was on holiday abroad, when it was around Christmas or my birthday, I might have had a bit of wine, even ate fries and a burger, but I've never fallen into excess again and so far could always lose the bit of weight I had taken back in a few days.
    I still bike three times a week, I walk rather than taking the car/bus/metro (when it's possible to do so), I still drink a lot of Water, eat healthy and follow strictly the same diet that has been working for me during two years.

    I must say it's not the easiest to come back to the forums once you are... used to your new way of life, especially since I had little to no regain!

    Thanks a lot for the compliment 😃 it's very kind of you!

    So it had been a while since I had posted anything down here. My surgery was on the 25th of February 2016.
    I used to look like this:

    After three years, many things have changed.
    I must admit I still fancy a bit of fast food, a beer, wine or a whisky from time to time, but I don't feel addicted to those like I used to. I eat healthier, I learnt to avoid stupid behaviour and I don't give a s*** anymore about what my family can tell me regarding the fact I now eat "like a bird" (at least I am not dying each time I climb up stairs).
    I had a few throw backs health-wise that are non-weight related (started to have epileptic crisis) and I was scared the treatment would lead me back to a wrong path food-wise, but hopefully, it wasn't the case. I also was diagnosed with osteoroposis, but it hasn't been linked with my sleeve surgery (it's very uncommon amongst male patients, let alone 27years old ones), apparentely, it's more a lack of luck regarding my genes. Every blood test I have made indicates that I have a very healthy diet and that I lack of nothing but a bit of luck 😛
    I still bike, walk and hike a lot, I had a small regain (two kilos) but in two years, I don't think it's that horrific.
    Here is how I look recently:

Every blood test I have made indicates that I have a very healthy diet and that I lack of nothing but a bit of luck 😛
    I still bike, walk and hike a lot, I had a small regain (two kilos) but in two years, I don't think it's that horrific.

  19. Congrats!
    BelgianGuy got a reaction from Msbosse in Under 25 and choosing this?!   
    When I had my sleeve, I was 23.
    I lost more than 50kgs. And I did try dieting and exercising before, losing twenty kgs, regaining twenty-five...
    So yeah, people don't know sh*t about what you are personally going through, so they can mostly keep their opinion for themselves. Just smile and nod and do what you intended to do.
    Today I am 26, I finally have a body I am not ashamed of and I am really happy with the results.

    9 months after getting sleeved, I just hit a pretty important milestone (for "metric" people) for I have indeed lost 50kilos!! (which roughly translates to 110,5pounds). I am really happy about the results, my lifestyle habits have changed for the best and I am so very glad I have reached more than my goal in less than a year, I know I'll have to stay focus and do my best to stay this way, but right now I am so glad I did it. Cheers everyone
