I guess I'm curious how much they lost and if they are gaining it back, but how could they not be?

Ummm.. I'm four months out and I definitely can eat a slice of pizza ( yep I've had one )

So yeah I can see how someone could do it... The sleeve isn't going to slap that stuff out of your hand. After awhile you have to be able to make good choices. And who knows maybe that person use to be able to down 1 whole pizza and this is an improvement...

WOW! I had to read that 3 times! I'm 17 months out and can eat 1 piece of pizza but will not drink carbonated drinks with my meals.....

It sounds like that individual is way off track right now and derail you on your journey also.....Something to think about... :)

I can imagine it.....or actually, fear it! I bet it's way less than they used to eat, and less than most people eat, even if it's not the best plan. I haven't eaten pizza, but I bet I could! :) Someday I'm going to have a slice of pizza. But I hope it's a rare occassion, I hope I can't hold more than a slice, and I sure hope I'm not drinking pop!

Did you find out how much they lost, how long ago, etc? Are they posting here wondering why they are not losing? ;)

Sorry for the delay!!!! He weighted 346 and is 246now. He lost 100 lbs and showed me pics. But it took him a year to do 100 lbs!! I'm not perfect but I'm 15 wks an 80 lbs! I started at 313 and now 233! I just don't understand even finishing one slice! I physically couldn't do it!! I can't finish a half of a tuna sandwich on a low carb bread!!

Oh by the way!!! If anything it encouraged me cause I knew how on track I was!! And very proud to have the power to say no to bad things! I understand maybe one day have a slice but till I'm where I wanna go its not going to happen! And..... This was a work meeting and work bought lunch! So thank god I brought my Protein bars!!! And water!!

Sure doesn't sound like he reached his goal weight either, I guess 100 pounds is much better than nothing. I am sure he is only one example of the mannnny who are not successful.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
