Any non yoyo dieters?



Recommended Posts

I didn't yoyo diet I just have a hard time losing. It seems like everyone here is a yoyo dieter. The most I have lost is 10/15 pounds.

I wasn't exactly a yoyo dieter. I lost a good amount of weight a couple of times over the past 30 yrs. The weight came back after having children. I've been through having children for a while now and dieting attempts were mostly futile. I got older and just really didn't care and lacked the ambition to embark on another diet.

Then one day I found myself with the means to have the sleeve. I did it, am now on a permanent diet that will continue whether I like it or not because my new stomach just will not hold much food.< /p>

It was a means of self discipline on my part and it's working out pretty good so far.

I did quite of bit of yo-yo dieting in my life. I have lost 50-100lbs several times in my life but always gained it back plus more.

Well I (((sadly))) was a yo-yo dieter and I think it is terribly hard on our metabolism to be the yo-yo type.

My husband (who is 2 years post-op with the sleeve, I'm 2.5 years) was not a yo-yo dieter before the sleeve and he seems to be able to not only EAT more than I can (and not gain weight) but he seems to have an easier time maintaining his loss.

Could just be that he is a man tho... :P

I was a yoyo dieter and it sucked because I felt like everyone knew how things were going in my life based on my weight. I'd stop dieting when stressed and then gain weight back. Ugh, yoyoing is the WORST.

When were you sleeved?? I'm with you on this. Sliw metabolism and bad genes runs with me. Not an excuse but VERY true. I've always had a hard time losing and now that I'm sleeved I'm still having to watch every piece of food I put into my mouth. I don't lose if I eat carbs...Even if its just 300-400 calories a day. So soft foods have been hard on me. I basically stick to Protein shakes all day. I'm 10 days out.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
