Urgent question for maintenance sleevers - help needed



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone - I had gastric sleeve surgery 18 months ago and lost 80+ pounds. Life is terrific. However, lately I have really been struggling with my weight, and I am up six pounds from my lowest point. Obviously, I want to nip this in the bud immediately and get my weight back down.

I never really adopted regular exercise (I was the girl who failed high school gym; I hate it). My food habits are pretty good - I eat primarily Protein, vegetables, fruit and nuts (no sugar or refined carbs) and for the most part, limit myself to three meals and two Protein Shakes per day. I don't eat large quantities.

Why is my weight creeping up? How can I reverse this? I know that metabolism slows after 18 months, but I am very concerned about gaining more weight and ruining the achievement that I have worked so hard for.

All help welcomed, here. Thank you.

Many of us have a weight bounce after goal. Many reasons for it. It may be your body settling into a weight that it's comfortable at. Maintenance for me is...... chasing the same ten pounds up and down.

Is your meal plan what you were eating in weight loss mode? You can go back to basics, log food, 60-100g Protein low carbohydrate. lots of Water.

When your body has less fat to burn the weight loss is slow. exercise (i know you hate it) is an option. Even if it's just walking.

What I've done is go back to the basics doing 3 protien shakes a day with a high protien low carb meal once a day for 5days. Some call this a sleeve reset, but it works trust me. And remeber to keep your bowels moving[emoji41]

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
