HI Y'all,

I wanted to do some research with REAL people instead of reading about it in some report.

I'm wondering how much weight (IF ANY) you have gained since being sleeved. I go up between 1-3 lbs. so my answer would be 1-5 lbs.

I'm curious to see how this goes.

Thanks!

Had my surgery 6 months ago, lost 59 lbs I gain between 1 to 4 lbs then lose those again. I just can't get to the 60 lbs mark. My husband had his surgery three weeks after me and he had lost 114 lbs with no gains at all.

Men are such quick loser's. I wish my metabolism was like my husband's. Let's celebrate your 59 weigh loss! That is monumental. Love it! Cheers!

Thank you so much, I do celebrate and I am so proud of myself and really proud of my husband!! Our lives have changed so much since these surgeries and they were the best decisions of our lives!! I'm just gonna to have to push thru to this stall and work towards my goal!!

Things slow down around 6 months, but if you keep on plan, you will keep losing bit by bit. You have done great!

I have gained 7 pounds over the pat 2 months. I am eating much more and mostly carbs. Today I start the 5 day boot camp diet to try to regain control.

Brazcan,

Are u eating more because of hunger? How far out are you? Did you ever make goal? I'm 74# after 5 months and worried how/what I will eat after the first year. No liquids with cals yet and no fruit yet, either.

I just saw this....you're kidding, right??!! Where's the Protein you need? 60 - 65 grams??!! A Protein shake......alcohol (carbonated) Desserts.....I am speechless!!

I'm 14 months out and maintaining my weight. Today, I had:

1 thick slice of banana chocolate chip bread

1 grande Starbucks coffee with half-and-half and splenda

1 protein shake

Cappuccino and 2 cornmeal pancakes with shredded pork (about 3 inches in diameter each)

about 3/4 cup mac'n'cheese

half an order of banana cream pie (about 3/4 cup)

1 bottle beer

coconut rice (~1/2 cup) and mixed vegetable/mushroom stir-fry in oyster 'shroom sauce (~3/4 cup)

1 glass of mixed veggie/fruit juice

I don't know if I'm gonna eat anything else today as it's getting late, but if I do, I'll have an apple

BBJuice works out like crazy.

Yes BBJ does cross fit and works out like crazy. Have you seen her pics??? OMG AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also think she's in her 20's (???), and I'm sure that helps too lol.

OK so I thought I would give an update. I am 21 months out. Today I'm 146.9. My lowest has been 144.7. So I'm up 2.2 lbs and still within the 1-5 fluctuation. I do workout 5-6 days a week, and recently sleevie still has a very good restriction, some days way more than I would like lol (accept for junk food, I still DON'T GET THAT).

I think I'm totally in the beginning stages of perimenopause, and going through some serious body changes ...I'm a little freaked about this, but there's really nothing I can do ...needless to say having tom 2x a month for the last 2 months is horrible. The other day I looked and felt preggers ...ANYHOO, I will keep keeping on, and fight the good fight

I am still relatively new since surgery but swim laps with my son. He is 5 but can swim like a champ but plays as we swim. I have started to put muscle back on my chest and arms and am up 3 pounds but I think it is muscle, since I think part of my early loss was muscle from not working out.

My weight fluctuates by 1-2 pounds over the course of each week and it drives me crazy. I've only lost 12 pounds over the last 3 months and am only halfway to my goal after almost 7 months. Sleeves are supposed to get us 70% of the way to our goal by the end of the first year, true; but so many posters here seem to exceed that that I feel really frustrated.

I'm working out, have the occasional soda when I'm out (once every 2-3 weeks and I only drink 1/3 of the glass - it keeps me from craving it), eating lots of lean Protein and having as many vegetables and fruits as possible. I haven't gained a pound or two without dropping them and more, but it's a very slow pace. I can only hope that slow and steady will win this race.

Cut the fruit and see what happens. I'm not allowed any fruit at all. Just protein and vegs.no potatoes or carrots either. That's theonly thing you andb I are doing differenly

uhm that made me double think, thanks for opening my eyes

last year i used to drink orange fresh daily and I was wondering why I get fatter every day. Seems that the answer was very simple.

I will cut the fruits too and see what happens. Does any of you mantain their weight without doing sport often?

Any idea why the carrots are forbidden? Not that I am a huge fan but I want to know...

Thanks

ReallyRose can chime in, but my guess is that carrots have natural sugars. It's not that carrots are bad, but depending on what state someone is in with their journey, sometimes its best to just totally stay away from sugars if they are a trigger for them or might be really carb sensitive. There have been NUMEROUS threads discussing whether the low carb vs low cal is the best approach. At the end of the day, it's what works best for you. There isn't really a one size fits all. The beautiful thing is our sleeve helps to guide us to stay on the right track. I LOVE my sleeve!!! It does get harder towards the end though. Just takes more persistence.
