Any advise for sleeve patients that had their surgery a title over 2 years ago? I have gained about 6 pounds in the past 6-8 months. I'm nervous about gaining weight. It seems that I'm eating more and craving bad stuff. Anyone experience that? And what did you do. I'd really appreciate some sound advise. Thanks.

Look around on here, there is a section entitled "gastric sleeve veterans" or something like that, which is for people a year or more out from surgery. There are many people 3+ years out and more who post there, it seems pretty active.

You might get a better response if you try posting your question there. Good luck

Drink water or zero calories drinks, get up and exercise, do something (whatever your niche is) to get your mind off it.

Yes....me! Two years out, gained 10 pounds back, and am craving everything I shouldn't and are not supposed to be eating! My willpower is at a zero.....need help getting back on track.....help!

Have you all gone back to the same original rules we had in the beginning?

No, I have not....and I know that that is what I should/NEED to be doing! Ergh, some days I wonder what the word "willpower" actually means!!

Hey ! I am 2 weeks post op, I kno this may sound horrible but when I see people saying they gain weight, does this mean your sleeve isn't restricting you or what? Or you eating pizza burgers and fries?

I say all that because it would be nice to know things will change...meaning I am 2 weeks post op and have had 3 baby spoons of yogurt....rest Water,tea,milk....so having a pretty bad dc regrets right now, would love to know hey I can get back to normal eventually and make better food decisions. Right now there are no food decisions...

Ha ha ha! You shall eat again! I am almost 3 months out and can eat anything - just not very much of it. Last night had a salad with cheese and the best grilled steak on it with deviled eggs on the side. I was able to eat 1/2 of one egg and about 2 oz of steak before I was full. I actually kept eating a bit more because although I FELT FULL - I couldn't actually grasp that I WAS full after eating so little. I actually overate just a bit on accident. And, yup, you COULD eat a pizza burger but not much of it and you'll be making better choices as you see the weight come off, anyway.:-)

Because you're normal

It's normal to worry and be concerned and fear surgery. It's a big deal.

But have faith you'll be ok
