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!

I am four months post surgery. Currently down 67#.

I did the pouch test for the first time and oh my Lord IT WORKS!!! It helped me kick the snacking to the curb even during tom. And proves sleevie still works just like it did 5 years ago when I first got him . It's a mini miracle for us for sure!!! I'm back down to 169. And hope to be back to my personal goal by the end of the year.

hugs!!!!

Ok I just realized I'm 18.2 lbs over weight now versus being back at obese. Barely but still I will take it and run yay!

My personal goal is just to lose 4-10 more lbs and try to maintain that . That would be awesome.

Best wishes to all.

I've gained all my weight back????

My lowest was 190 and I am now 265. I just started carb cycling today a coworker did it and she lost 60lbs. I tried doing the pouch test but wouldn't stick to it. I did the first two days and couldn't figure what to eat on the third day.

I'd like to do the pouch test but I can't while I am trying to get my bone to graft.

I'm going to try this. I had not heard of it before. Thanks for posting this, Sleeve 4 Me.

Sleeve!!! So nice to see you again! I'm up a little too.....have done the pouch test twice and both time found it to be really good for a few pounds off and a fresh start. I focused on the thick hearty soups and that helped a lot to stay on track. Lost 8 pounds both times. Now, to just stay on track afterwords!

I'm at my 2 year mark. I reached my goal and have maintained it for about a year. Going up and down a pound or so.

But over the past two months I've been gaining a half pound here and there and am now up 5 pounds. My head says DANGER DANGER you're on a slippery slope. But I'm having a hard time stopping the snacking. It's not bad stuff. Just too much yogurt or too much cereal, etc. My willpower has disappeared.

Thanks for the 5 day pouch test idea. Back to basics. I want to nip this before the holidays get here otherwise the cookies will kill me.

Good luck all. It's a constant struggle.

I am 2 1/2 years post op and I have gained 30 lbs in the last year. My mom has been sick, she's home with hospice and slowly dying. I struggle with anemia and get too short of breath with exercise. I will be starting iron infusions soon. So yes, you CAN gain weight if you don't exercise and eat right. Although I have stayed away from bread and pasta, I do not focus on fluids and protein, AND I stress eat on junk food like chips at night.

In the last month I've put on for pounds. Scares the bejeezes out of me. Time for the five day thingy.

It's really hard. I've been at goal for 9 years but in the last 6 months since my back surgery, I've gained about 15 but it feels more like 25. I haven't been able to work out with weights, which really made me even smaller than what I would have been at that weight.

Last night, I wanted to go out, and I could not find a top that did not show big fat rolls that were not there before. I was so depressed.

I am going to try 5:2 again. I lost all my regain doing that before. It's really hard to get started because the first day it's only 500 calories. If I keep that image in my head, of what those tops looked like on me, I think I'll be able to stay away from snacks.
