I'll be 2 years in February. Lost exactly 100lbs. No regain. Running marathons now (literally)

Can eat anything, but totally stay away from pop and slurpees (my vices)

Any regain at all?

Not till just this fall / winter, seems the cut back in exercise (too cold and dark to ride my bike) and the holiday food have led me to put on about 2 pounds. I am trying to cut back, to lose it again, it's a LOT easier than it used to be, at least I don't have the constant gnawing hunger like I used to.

I am over three years out and still in love with my sleeve. I was a band to sleeve revision and have no regrets at all. I can eat more than I was able to the first year, but still not anything close to what I did pre-surgery.

I'll be 4 years this April too.

I can eat way more than I could at one year, but I don't think I can eat too much. If I think I can eat more, and try, I am really very uncomfortable and I hate that feeling. I hate being too full. So I have learned where to stop.

I have regained about 10 lbs over my lowest weight but I have been this weight for a year. I don't seem to gain or lose, even if I try to lose. I am a pretty happy sleever.

I'm only 1 1/2 years post, so I'm not sure this is worthy but you wanted more stories. I have a 40f bougie. I can eat more now, but not enough that would allow regain unless it was in french fries and ice cream. I am still losing but only about a pound per month. I am near goal, so I expect to stop losing soon. I can eat whatever I want, but I still stick to eating healthy. I had an oreo last week, first cookie in a very long time. I can eat 2 eggs and 2 pieces of turkey bacon for Breakfast. I am full off that and won't want to eat again for hours. For lunch I often have a piece of fish with veggies, salad with some grilled chicken or shrimp or half a sandwich or a cup of Soup. I can eat 6oz of Protein, but I tend to eat 4oz and have some veggies with it.

It also changes. There are days I can eat a slice of thin crust pizza (minus the crust) and other days I can only eat half.

Grapes fill me up fast, apples too.

I won't regain. I just won't. I got into a size 8 last week, and by get into, I mean it fit. If I stay this size forever, I'm happy. If I lose another 10, I'm happy, but I won't ever get bigger than I am now. I still weigh daily and will adjust as needed.

Not 2 years year more like 1 and a half. I eat anything I want. Just can eat a lot which is great. I can eat a sandwhich if I eat slow. I do not eat salads. They fill me up to fast. I stay away from soft drinks. If I gain 2 pounds I can skip a meal & it goes away the next day. Love it. Just like Rootman said it is a lot easier.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
