I could have written this post myself I’m 4 years post on but in the past year I have gained 21lb and feel so mad with myself. I to feel it’s sweets stuff that is my total downfall and would love a way to quit.

Just wanted to say Hi, no experience of that hospital but I’m 3 years post op now and still 7 stone lighter and the best thing I ever did for myself. Pre op diet not to be tbh. Good luck.

Hi I am nearly 3 years post op in October and don’t regret it at all I lost 7 stone in total and maintain with about a 4lb up or down either way. I eat what I want really just much less than I use to. I do still have reflux and rake omeprozol 20mg still bit that keeps on at bay.

Hi I am uk and 2 years post op self funded. I’m up north so not near London but always happy to chat and support x

1 year post op on 28th of last month and I’ve hit my goal weight and feel amazing [emoji171]. How’s everyone else getting on?

Op 28/10/2016

start 240lb

current weight 145lb

Hi guys well it’s all most a year on 28th of this month and today I hit my goal, intact 1lb under [emoji1303]. My start weight was 241.5 lb and I am now 146lb and very happy. It’s not been an journey and the 1st few months I was sick A LOT and I did wonder if it would ever stop, now it’s only occasionally maybe 1xper week max. Red meat doesn’t agree with me still and Snacks go down to easy! So I am still mindful of what I eat. I do attend a regular slimming club and get weighed every week which helps to keep me on track and very focused. How’s everyone else’s doing? I have my 12 month review in a couple of week but need to reschedule as we are on holiday and this week I bought 3 new swim suit. I do have a small amount of loose skin at top of thighs and tummy but nothing to major. I am very happy in cloths and love buying new things. I really wanted to add pictures but I can’t so if anyone technically minded can help that would be great [emoji1303]

I actually saw the number 10 flash up on my scales this morning so happy. Current weight 10st 13lb ( 153lb )my goal is only 6lb away but may try for a bit more once I hit target. But these last few lb have been very slow! Really wanted to add a picture but for some reason it won't let me.

Surgery 28th October 2016 240lb
Current weight 153lb lost so far 87lb in just over 9 months x

I cant seem to add a picture?

I was diagnosed with very sever sleep apnoea and was actually the final straw that made me decided to go ahead with surgery. I no longer use the CPAP machine and I am now classes as mild and am going for a review again in 6 months once I hit my goal weight. I am 9 months post op and have lost 84lb. Start weight 240 current weight 156 goal 146 height 5' 5

I couldn't eat eggs but now 9 months out I had scrambled egg the other day and was fine which I am really pleased about as love eggs and great Protein food. At this stage I can pretty much eat anything except chips which I know we shouldn't eat but if family have a fish and chip tea I always wanted a taste but each time I was ill so don't bother now.

Wow you look great

I'm down 93 lbs and currently in onederland! I really only want to lose another 15lbs or so. Weight loss is slower, but still coming off.
 

9 months post op nearly and only 10lb to goal and feeling great. Did struggle for about 5 months with vomiting and I was really worried it would never stop but 99% of time now I am fine. I can eat pretty much anything I want just a much smaller amount. Can't wait to reach my goal. Need to up my exercise now as not really done a lot TBH. Has some loose skin on thighs and tummy but nothing to bad and hope toning up and building muscle will help.

Here is my log of weight loss.

Hi guys!
I get on here every six months or so to update y'all I've never made a topic with progress pictures before, so I thought I would this time, as I've been maintaining below goal for almost a year now.

I ran my first half marathon in February and am running another in November, which is pretty cool! When not in race training mode, I run 3-6 miles, three days per week, and do HIIT style training (heavy weights and cardio) at the gym 2-3 other days per week. I tend to fluctuate between 150-153 lbs, depending on the time of month and just general day to day food/water intake.

I'm just about 3 months out and have found that I have thrown up more than I'd like.

After surgery I was vomiting a lot. Now I've also found if I've eaten too much or too fast I'll vomit. So I'm learning to slow down etc.

But I also find that just about any type of meat makes me vomit no matter how well I chew or how slowly I eat.

I think my sleeve just hates me sometimes but my surgeon doesn't seem concerned. I e spoken with him a few times about it and all the nausea I have each day. So not sure what else to do as he offers no meds to help with nausea. Just tells me to tough it out and it'll get better.

I am in the U.K and was diagnosed with very sever SA 97 per h stopped breathing so was started on CPAP this was not related to WLS but it was the reason I decided to have the op, self pay in U.K. Straight after surgery I stopped using the machine due to gas pain etc and haven't gone back on it. Now 6 months post op 71lb down and according to hubby no episodes and snoring much better. Due to go back for repeat sleep study soon so will be interesting to see results. I am definitely in R.E.M. Sleep now as my dreams have come back! Xx

6 months post op and it seems to have finally stopped. Only been sick once in past month which is a great improvement 🤞
