Are there any long-time sleevers (or bypassers) out there that have maintained their weight loss? I am getting sleeved on the the 14th and have been doing a lot of reading on this forum, but I can't seem to find any posts from people who have been successful in their weight loss and have kept it off for many years. Hearing from you would reassure me that it can be done! Thanks!

I am 5 years post op RNY gastric bypass. It is common to have some limited weight gain after weight loss surgery. They call it a 20 pound bounce. The important thing is not let go beyond this 20 pounds. Most times this weight gain is due to a poor choice of snacks. Snacks should be limited to primarily to whole food options: nuts, natural nut butters, fruits, veggies, boiled eggs, string cheese, yogurt with berries and almonds, tuna pouches. Avoid processed packaged foods as much as possible.
