Five and a half years out



Recommended Posts

Hi All, It has been years since I have been on and I thought I'd stop by. Aug 24 2010 was a game changer for me. Its hard to believe its been over five years but my sleeve is still working. I still feel the restriction and can not overeat pizza I'd get sick if I ate two slices. Cheeseburger can not eat more then half. Need to lose a couple eat Soup for dinner. Such a wonderful tool.

Keep in touch. It seems like every day there are concerns that pop up that only veterans with at least a year under their belt can answer.

Did you have the lap band first?

No I never had the band. Someone just told me my profile said that I don't know why will have to figure out how to change it.

I am happy to hear your news. Thanks LunaRose. I came on this site specifically looking for stories of people who have been 5+ years out of surgery. This is very helpful. :)

      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! 😞
