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!

We know its not easy peasy. My question was to laurak when she said "every diet works".

And I dont think therapy doesn't work. In fact, my life is proof that IT IS working. I'm responding to an angry tone o sense in your message. Did i misread it?

Boy I sure didn't intend to start a shitstorm, sorry ladies and gents. And I never accused anyone of eating crap. I simply asked a question. Are people eating bad to gain back lots of weight? Well looking at my friends who have gained back all their weight, yes they have reverted back to the standard American poor diet. I was lucky in that I didn't have to go to therapy. But I do have an type A personality and am anal about food and exercise. And i've been a heavy exerciser for 27 years. I just needed the restriction in my case. I know it's not the same for all. And my vegan diet allows for more food volume which helps even more. I only wanted to offer a possible eating alternative that has helped me.

For me, the sleeve has helped ME to stay on my diet of choice and maintain my loses. I never said it was easy but it is possible. I also think some people need malabsorption for metabolic issues.

@@laurak712 you actually did say crap look back

But I didn't accuse anyone. You look back.

And I'm on vacation right now and my whole family is sitting around me eating fattening tacos for breakfast. Hell yes I want them but I'm having a bowl of oatmeal instead. That's my reality.

Laurak...oatmeal...droool! Are u familiar with emily Dickenson's poem "will there really be a morning?" Google it. The last 4 lines are what i mean by blue print. I need hope!

What are you people eating? Are you just eating crap all the time or what. I'm lucky to get 1500 calories a day!

Not sure what you mean by this comment ... ? Who said "magic wand"?

I'm responding to an angry tone o sense in your message. Did i misread it?

LOL ... yeah, I think you did.

I am 3.5 years out and yes, I have gained about 15 lbs in the last year.....eating empty calories and sugar. I work hard to get back on track but fail 90 percent of the time. Did good yesturday and hubby brought home some mexican pastries which I love. My bad, i couldn't leave them alone. I'm having a lot of emotional turmoil going on in my house and reckonize that I am an emotional eater......So this is hard work. Just doing protein shakes and protein bars doesn't cut it any more. I can eat a lot more now......I'm going to pull my hair out.........urggggg

Vsg ann u asked me what i meant by blueprint. I responded "magic wand". Then later on msj to laurak cited the emily Dickenson poem abt a plilgrim looking for a path toward....whatever!

Ms skinniness...why? Hair doesn’t weigh much. .

Hey...we should all saddle up Rocinante and ride after a skinny quest! Im changing my handle to Donna Quixote...(rocinante was the name of his horse)

Yeah, magic wands.

When you find one, get me one, too.
