I do not ever want to be that fat man again I was so un happy, I just need to relaz. Anyways when it gets hard I just look at these pics. Hope it helps some one else out..

I gotta admit, that's the only thing that I'm really terrified about. I'm not sleeved yet, but I'm not really worried about complications or recovery or even adjusting to the diet. I am only really scared that I'm going to go through all of this just to start gaining weight again. I keep having to remind myself that I've already made most of the changes that are required to convert to a "normal-sized person lifestyle", but just need to get this last piece of the puzzle done so that I can be successful long term. I lost 115 pounds within the last few years and put 50 of it back on, which is what made me consider surgery again. I think we're all going to have some level of lingering fear that we could gain it back. I think that's what tells us that it's important to us and just might be the thing that keeps us on track in general. For me, the key is going to be to continue food journaling and weighing every day so that if I'm up a pound or three and can't attribute it to unusually hot weather, a higher than normal intake of sodium, or hormone flux, I dial things back or do an extra couple workouts before it gets out of control. It's still going to be hard, but I know that we can do it. I think that it's the people that get lulled into depending on the sleeve and not paying attention to food and exercise that are at highest risk for gaining. Well, in the world according to me, anyway...

Damn.. you are HOT!! Congrats and yes...we all worry about that...esp when you see so many gastric bypass folks years later who have gained all of their weight back. But honestly I've never seen any sleevers who have gained their weight back. Relax and quit worrying. You've beeb hit by the "Damn I didn't know this hot dude was inside this whole time" bug and that's motivation enough to not go back.

OK, I'm a 55 year old grandmother and I had to go back and look at the pics again to see the lip ring. I was too focused on your 6-pack!! Good job! Wish I had done this when I was much younger, but I'm glad I'm doing it now!

Holy moly you are looking hot! It seems like you didn't have skin sagging issues..is it because you worked out a lot? I'm 23 and am scared ill never be able to wear a bikini because of excess skin even if I work out, but you achieved a 6 pack amazing!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
