    Hi everyone!

    This is a post for ask some information for the sleeved ones

    AFTER HOW MANY DAYS "Normal Life" starts?

    I'm going to be sleeved in February in my country

    Is long time that I don't see my family and friend so I also wish to have some time with the not being in a bed as a "sick" person

    I will be there for 5 weeks so I wish to know what to wait

    With family and friends all the plans will be quiet and I will be able to eat exactly what doctor will say

    Our plans will be like take a walk on the beach, spend a day in the boat, walk around the city etc...

    Any advises?

    I heard and met people who had the bypass and after lose all the weight and the time was up they gained again all the weight!

    The people you've heard about and have met regained weight because they chose to eat poorly. They chose to eat the foods and the amounts of food that cause weight-gain. It is possible to gain weight after any of the surgery options. Maintaining weight loss requires changed eating habits forever. There is no magic about it.

    Reading here I understood that I was wrong about the bypass, I was making a confusion with the balloon

    Since the balloon must be removed people after start eating because they keep their nutrition issues hidden and after the removal everything was back

    Angelica - the bypass is absolutely forever - certainly your pouch can get bigger over time. Part of the WLS journey is learning new and better eating habits. If you have any WLS and continue eating high carb/high fat/high sugar foods, what's the point of having surgery?

    You're right, I was making a confusion between the bypass and the balloon

    I know that there's no point on eating same things but since food is often something Garda for me I was wonder how to deal with it

    @cderisroth and after you'll remove it. You must go on eating just a bit for don't make you stomach larger right?

    Well there is nothing to remove because with the bypass they reduce your stomach by 80-90% and that is permanent.

    I would say I ate between 500-700 calories a day for the first 6 months. Currently I'm eating around 1200 calories a day. I don't worry about my stomach stretching because I don't eat too much food at any one time, probably no more than 1 cup or 3-4 ounces of Protein. I've had to really retrain my brain to understand what "satisfied" is rather than full. Before surgery I would stuff myself to the point of being uncomfortable. Now I eat until satisfied then stop. It took a while to learn that!

    Hello everybody I hope you all are having and amazing beginning of year

    I have many doubts of the life style and what to wait after being sleeved, many some one you can give me a hand and tell me your experience?

    I wish to know...

    -Since the sleeve is forever, how it works once we arrive to the desired weight and go on loosing is not needed?

    -Any of you thought that the sleeve can also not improve our healthy in the future?

    I mean, is a scar in the stomach that can have a problem in any point of our lives.

    -once the operation is donde and everything's ok there will be always the risk that the clips can be broken or open and cause a problem?

    -How is for you (for those who have the sleeve for a long time) to go to dinner with people who can eat normally? You wish to eat and can't do it? Or you can just eat your very little small portion and be happy?

    I'm sorry if I'm doing this direct questions but since you already had the experience I will have very soon who else better than you can help me?

    Thanks again for your time answering! ❤️

    I'm only a few months out, so I don't know long-term what the answers to some of these questions will be.

    But a couple of your questions stood out to me.

    As for a "clip breaking"? Once the suture line is healed, there is nothing to "break". You have to be careful the first several weeks to not eat anything that the doctor hasn't approved in order to protect the suture line, but after that, it's not subject to breaking or failing in any way.

    As for eating out, I usually box up most of my meal, or share a meal with my husband. I can't eat everything I want, so I have to be very selective about what I choose to make room for in my sleeve. Sometimes if the food is spectacular at a restaurant, I feel a little sad that I can't try/eat as much as I want, but it's really not a huge deal. I am trying to eat more slowly to avoid discomfort, so I don't finish that much before my companions.

    Many thanks for your answer. The fact that after few weeks there's nothing to "break" now is clear for me

    I imagine the situation at the restaurant is not the best but it worth it, I'm sure Of that

    And share a meal is also a great idea! ❤️

    I take advantage on your answer for ask you one more thing....

    You said "I feel a little sad that I can't try/eat as much as I want" this is because food is delicious and you can't eat it or because you feel the need and ansia to eat?

    I'm fat cuz I have alimentary disorders so I wonder if after the sleeve that need to eat even not having hungry will stay.

    I ask cuz I'm preparing myself also with a psychologist and wish to know how I'll face this issue even if I'm convinced that seeing myself thin that need will eventually disappear

    Thanks!

    Hi everybody!

    I probably will have my sleeve in February

    I'm going for a month and a half to Colombia

    I wish to take advantage that I'm there also for travel around a little bit.

    My question is this...

    AFTER HOW MUCH TIME AFTER BEING SLEEVED MOVEMENTS AND STUFF ARE NORMAL? AND PAIN IS GONE?

    I'm planning to get sleeved and after 20 days travel and go to the coast for have a relaxing holiday what you think about it?

    Also cuz my best friend lives there and I wish to see her and be around enjoying the place

    I won't do extreme activities

    I thank you in advance for all your comments and advises ????
