Looking for Sleevers more than a year out



Recommended Posts

Hi. I had my surgery in December of 2013. I was wondering how many of us "senior" sleevers are on here😊 Thanks!

I am 27 months (2 years & 3 months) out. I was sleeved in April 2015 and have been maintaining my goal weight since September 2016.

So far I've been pleased with my sleeve. :)

This is awesome!! You all are inspiration for me! I need to lose more weight! I have been staying around the same weight for about 2 1/2 years now, like proudgrammy said I do fluctuate about 5 up and 5 down. I did cave in and get a prescription for Contrave a couple of days ago😔 I pray it helps me! I am new to this site and I am loving it!

So question for all you veterans, I'm 9 months out from surgery, at goal weight, feel amazing but I'm noticing some old habits starting to creep back up. In particular I'm having a lot of head hunger, cravings and urges to snack. How do you stop yourself from doing that! I need tips and tricks to stay on track!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
