No idea since I’m only 5 weeks out.
I think once I’ve hit the end of my rapid-loss phase and move into maintenance (10 months or so from now) I’m going to look into intermittent fasting because it truly seems like the answer to keeping the weight off

I’m a newbie too. I was sleeved in January but I think you’re awesome for being proactive and catching yourself before a little become a lot. I’m not sure how much you’re dealing with but my son is 2 years out from his surgery having lost over 320 lbs. He’s been at his goal for quite awhile but says he fluctuates up and down by 10 lbs. Not sure if that helps you or not but thought I’d throw it out there.

I’m 53 and had the sleeve surgery on December 31. I’ve been very lucky. I can eat anything I try (in very small amounts) and have had absolutely no side effects. I recently went through a weight loss stall but seem to be moving down the scale again now.

I am 65 and had my sleeve procedure on March 13. I already feel better about my decision! Not an easy journey but it will be filled with rewards to keep me going. Like lower BP, remission of my diabetes, etc.

Getting my diabetes under control was a huge goal for me. I’m no longer on my meds and for the first time since I was diagnosed I had a morning reading of 99. I was as excited about THAT number as I imagine I will be when I hit ONEDERLAND.

As I grow older I have found it does get harder to please everyone I come in contact with. But peeving them to the inth degree, that I can do and sometimes it is FUN !

I am the exact same way! I loved it my two first weeks post op. My DIL would tell be how much she hates them now (also had wls) and I thought , “huh ?” NOW I get it. I’ll have to try adding water to it because I still have a case in my fridge.

*** It REALLY was a life saver the first two weeks. I think my taste buds changed***

I'm 49 and had RNY on 2/25/19 - down 20 pounds in the first 30 days. Would have liked to have been down more, but was diagnosed w/influenza B right after surgery. Talk about zero energy...?

Also you can add with water a juice pack and that will really drown out that taste.

I'm 54, one month post RNY, down 21 lbs
