Hi everyone,
I had my sleeve on May 1, 2012. I lost 95 lbs, had no trouble post surgery and was pretty much able to maintain my weight loss and mental attitude and changed way of thinking about...

Hi there, I will be 3 yrs post op this May 1st and have not been here on the forum for quite some time. I was attracted to your thread because of your length of time post op and that you've stayed...

To keep our heads and minds in the "game" is crucial. As we move further and further away from our initial day of surgery I think the battle is so much more of the head than anything physical. I'm...

Congrats on your surgery and the rest of your life ahead of you. Each person is different but in this initial phase best to stick to the more liquid or soft foods. Do you like eggs? They have...

I have experienced this and chalked it up to my age. I was in menopause before surgery, and been without a period for a little over a year. Then out of the blue, 4 months after surgery I had my...

This is a great post here. For me, I'm about 2 and a half years with my sleeve now. I started almost 255 lbs and one day got to 157 and then hovered between that and 160. My initial goal was to...

I'm almost 2 and a half yrs post op now and the time has just flown by. I don't necessarily follow the 30 min before and after rule for drinking many times now. I've let some bad habits slip in as...

I am almost two and a half years post surgery and no, you are most likely right on track. What everyone is told in the beginning is unrealistic for the amount you're actually able to consume for a...

When I had surgery at the age of 53 I had been in menopause, without a period for over a year. Four months after my sleeve I got a period. Boy, was I surprised. The doctor, however, was not. He...

So awesome for you and inspirational for all of us! Congrats on your success. You look fabulous!!! The time just goes by so quickly and before you know it another year will have passed by. ...

I think we can all relate somewhat to your post. I still pass a mirror 2 yrs and 3 months later from my sleeve and having lost 95 lbs...and do a doubletake on what I see. Somedays it does not...

Hey there...you are not alone is this journey, ever. Remember we are all here for one another.
That being said, you are being too hard on yourself but you know now, so just take it from here and...

Hey there, congratulations to you for the weight loss and especially the maintenance. Right now I'm 2 years and 3 and a half months post op. I've slowly gained about 8 lbs over the last year. I...

I am post op 2 years and 3 months. You have to watch what you're eating as some people are more carb sensitive than others. You also should follow the 4 ounce rule for a meal. When I'm home, I...

Emily, wonderful job and congrats to you. This is the time of your life for YOU girl...go get it! You've got such an awesome adventure ahead. You now have a future to look forward to, filled...

Jessie, a truly awesome job. Enjoy your hard work and success. I had dropped my 95 lbs by about the 10 month mark as well. I'm now 2 yrs and 3 and a half months post op, still enjoying my new...

Well, sorry this is happening to you but now it is up to you to GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR LIFE!!! Even if these people are unfortunatly your family or so called friends. YOU CAN DO WITHOUT THEM!...

Thanks for the recipe. I found some PB2 a few weeks ago and just love it. Peanut Butter is one of my all time favorite tastes. I have used the powder also in making coffee protein shakes. Yum....

Jewel you are in inspiration. I started at 252 lbs and one day weighed in at 156.4. I really leveled off at about 160 lbs and was able to stay there for a number of months. Lately I've gotten up...

Hello to all and thanks for posting here. I celebrated 2 yrs post op on May 1st so am 2 yrs and 2 and a half months now post op. I am finding it difficult to maintain now, but not nearly as...

Kudos to you Emily!!!! Yep, you've done it and congrats to you. Your life and future are before you. You are in control and your destiny is in your hands...your sleeve is your new best friend,...

Hi there and welcome to the sleeved side of life. I can't directly speak to the hunger because I've never really been hungry since my initial day of surgery May 1, 2012. I would venture to say...

Hey there, welcome to the world of the newly sleeved! This is going to be such a wondrous journey for you.
I wouldn't worry about the pain, just take it easy and whatever you're drinking/eating...

Hi there! I was 2 yrs post op on May 1st of 2014. I initially dropped 95 lbs. I got down to 157 one day and kind of hovered around 160 after that for quite a while. Now, 2 yrs down the road I'm...

Hey there, congrats to you. I don't think you're losing slowly...you are losing the way YOUR body wants to. I actually lost at a slow and steady pace. My surgeon always emphasized that if you go...
