I am 13 days out. SW 248! DS 228, CW. 217. My DR said I can start eating whatever I can tolerate. He said there's nothing I can eat that will damage sutures. This makes it easier to tolerate but harder to track exact Protein.< /p>

Hi everyone, I haven't been on any forum about this in at least 1year or so.

I'm 2 years post sleeve op and have lost 27kg but put back on 5kg. I think this is the end of my journey and sadly still have to lose another 25kg to get to my goal weight. It's like an endless diet and not a lifestyle change. I don't know how much more I can possibly do to make me lose weight. I've tried everything and it's like my body resists it.

Has anyone been sleeved and experiencing the same issues? Sorry for sounding like a Debbie downer but I'm feeling I'm at the last resort now.

I had to choose "Other"...because my weight loss journey is complete...finished!

Had the surgery, and for the following years I learned (the hard way). to eat differently, and what I did eat I learned to choose the best I could.

There are some foods I gave up, going to the gym, drinking Water, Vitamins, etc, etc all became a new normal habit...

With this new lifestyle I lost all the excess weight I could, my body slowly reversing itself until I reached a point of "Equilibrium" which also has a Normal to low body fat %....

So, thanks to the Lap band, my hunger and cravings are held at check, along with my ability to over eat or "Binge"

I now take for granted day to day what and how I eat, not having to "Think" about it.

With this new lifestyle, my weight has returned to where it should be.

I am addicted to going to the gym, started "Running"...

"DIET" is nothing but a 4 letter word....it's all part of this "New Normal"

So, for me, I'm finished...every journey has to have a destination, and I reached mine...otherwise, my Journey would be wandering around in the wilderness forever....eventually it has to lead somewhere.

I am just begining. I have waited a year to qualify to even start the process because i had to be steadily employed 2 years to be qualify under my insurance. Today makes two years. Calling insurance to start my 6month process finally! I pray everything works out and i get approved.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
