Sent from my iPhone

I’m in the same boat I’m 2 years out in March and I’ve regained exactly how much I’m to scared to look lately but it was 5kgs a few months back drinking alcohol has been the biggest issue as I get drunk fast but I use to never drink prior to surgery now I do every night except the last week I’ve stopped
I can also eat bread and chocolate and lollies I was sleeved and wish I had chosen RNY so I’d atleast get dumping and not continue to eat bad things
I snack all the time and don’t exercise I’m miserable I
Was self pay and cannot believe I’m having these issues now I was so good in the beginning so strict
Please let me k ow how your going with your weight loss

I drink coffee my surgeon said don't stop drinking it I could have it as soon as I got home from hospital it was a saving grace to be honest it was my treat and that can't be a bad thing it's better than donuts choc bars and cakes lollies
I love coffee I have up to 3 a day myself and I'm almost 1 year out and at goal

Hi everyone I've missed our updates heaps let's not leave it so long.
I've now lost 36kgs which is great however as fast as I buy clothes they don't fit anymore it's expensive haha
I just had a big work event over the weekend someone accidentally gave me a glass of sparkling Water I took a swig def can't drink carbonated drinks
you know sparking Water is one of the only things I crave for now as I use to love love it. I went to several work dinners lunches etc over the last week everyone just thought I didn't like the food due to not being able to eat much I just agreed however I thought I'd eaten a decent amount. They all ate 3 courses it was fine I didn't care. I had people I knew not recognise me and they were shocked having not seen me for 8 months everyone wanted to know what I was doing Ive not told work colleges.
we had a big work evening all our clients came I had so many people compliment me and wait for it I loved getting my photo taken yes I did. My water intake has been terrible I've not been drinking any and ive been slack on my 30 min before and after water this i find really hard. I've not felt good my arthritis is flared up and I've been in constant pain. We find out tomorrow if we've got the house we put an offer in on which we love so I've been quite stressed and nervous. The sleeve is not easy it's the hardest thing I've done but I feel the results so far have been worth every minute I do not feel hunger so I'm lucky this week I should hit under 80 kgs I've not been there in over 12 years.
Here is a photo of me from Saturday night just a head shot I'm honestly so proud of myself for being 100% to plan no bad food no Choc or chippies have passed these lips my face has slimmed down alot but I still have a wee way to go and I know for me
Keeping it off will be key that's the hard part and the true test

Here are some of mine [emoji4]
I went from 240 ish to 128ish now. Not really sure what I weigh exactly cause I stopped caring. I'm 5'6 and I wear a size 0-4 depending...
I can run about five miles without getting tired. That's the best thing to me.
  

It does sound like something isn't right if you are having these problems at 3 months - some will vomit if they overeat and there's no place for the extra food to go, which is what's happening to you except that your volume is way too low for that to be happening. Hence the suspicion that something is wrong, such as a stricture or twist in the sleeve.
As a rough calibration of what should be happening over time, this video gives a pretty good idea of what to expect as things evolve over the years, and to prepare for them to avoid regain. In short, you will wind up being able to eat roughly half of what you could pre-op.

Well here I am wow my 1 year anniversary
today I had sleeve surgery this day last year
And what a ride it's been!
This was the best decision I have ever made !
I had done every diet known to man kind and failed time and time again
my rheumatoid was out of control
my prescriptions where growing by the month and diabetes and heart disease where just around the corner and I was deeply unhappy within myself
desperate to be healthy but unwilling to make the necessary changes and sacrifices to get there it was all just too hard.
steroids played a large role in my weight gain and lack of exercise due to the pain in my feet and hands it was a downward spiral at my heaviest I was 115kgs so 230 pounds
Some would say not that big but to me it was huge.
I followed a blogger in nz who had the surgery and an idea was born she looked amazing
so off I went to her surgeon next step to come up with $20,000 as I was self pay
I saw the surgeon in December and in March I had the surgery.
Looking back at times I felt defeated like this weight won't come off it's so slow couldn't imagine myself smaller and it took a long time for my mind to catch up with my body I still felt big up until recently.
Basically this journey has been the best decision of my life
I am so happy within myself I feel alive,confident,beautiful,healthy
these are things I've not felt in a very long time
I am now 71kgs and I'm happy at this weight
I know maintaining this will be a life long commitment and sometimes I eat bad things I'm human but it's not often and I always think of where I've come from and where I'm going and I can't go back I've come to far and it's true nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
I will keep these comparison photos and look at them when I need to be reminded of where I've been in this journey
For anyone considering surgery don't put it off you won't look back a new you is possible you just have to want it !! the surgery itself and recovery was fine sure at times I hated it but looking back for me it was easy.
Good luck to everyone on this journey it sure is an amazing one this app has been so helpful and I'm truly thankful for it.
 

Hi I would eat lots of yogurt ,
some cottage cheese didn't love that,
soft scrambled egg,
I tried purée meats with veggies
but didn't really love that
I also tried steamed fish but found that hard to digest.
Mashed avocado
Refried Beans
Mashed banana
That's about it I think

You look amazing enspired me

You are so gorgeous! Congrats to you! I was also self pay and I thought where will I get the 13k from? I was so determined to change my
life that nothing could have stopped me. I failed every diet, lost 40 gained 50, truly yoyoed for years! I'm only 25 but I felt the comordities creeping in and had to act fast!

Wow! What an inspiring true story!! You look amazing and I'm sure you feel amazing too. Great job hon! Thank you for sharing. I love seeing the before and afters. Beautiful smile!
