I am still here, LIfe is just so busy I do not have time to post nor read the board like I used to. Still loving my sleeve, I did read somewhere if you are craving sugar, that is a sign you are not getting enough Protein.... not saying that is a fact, but maybe somthing to it.. Still recommending to people... and then they thank you.. Drink that Water... Loving Life!!

I am jo ann age 57 6 weeks today post op sleeve

18 months postop and down 90 pounds. So happy with my decision- at goal for 6 months and losing a pound every month or two now. Still tracking every bite and expect to continue to all my life. Keeping it under or about 1000 calories a day to maintain which is less than I expected but this tool makes it tolerable. BEST DECISION EVER!!

I'm still here, too. Two and a half years out, maintaining for well over a year, and still so happy I had WLS. I also have had lots of plastics, and I gotta say, I'm looking and feeling better than I did in my 30s and 40s! Not so bad

18 months out and very glad I did it! I'm kind of stuck right now. I lost 145 pounds all together with the opti fast and surgery but have been stuck for a few months. Any suggestions on getting the weight to start coming off again? I would still like to lose 50 pounds.
