After 4 years.....

[stevedallas 125]

I was 52 in 2012 when I had the sleeve. I was 275 pounds. I lost 90....and have since gained back 5. Yep. After 4 years, I am still 190. My initial goal was 200. Four years later, I am still 190. I have hovered right at 185-190.

The Sleeve changed my life. I get up at 4am daily and walk 5 miles before work. I still Protein load and carb avoid. I drink a LOT of Water daily.

For me, the Sleeve has worked.....and continues to work. I was pre-diabetic before. Now, my doc says I have the health of a 30-year-old.

He seems to be at goal weight, so why would he get rid of more?

Love hearing from people years out, thanks for sharing and great job at maintaining.

My take-a-way is to never stop doing what we were taught ( Protein first, exercise, water..got it!)

This is so helpful and shows with determination you can keep the weight off or stay within that "healthy" weight.

Heavens no. I want to stay between 185 and 192. I am not sure I could lose more than that.

That is how it has worked for me. Protein Shakes for breakfast and snacks.....meat for lunch and dinner. Protein Bars for the occasional snack.< /p>

Our office has donuts or Bagels every Wednesday. I am proud to report I have never ever partaken.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey. I'm 52 and was sleeved @235lbs July 26th. Today I'm 200lbs. I was wondering what my future may hold in terms of keeping the weight off.
