Hi guys,
I did my surgery in 2011 (230 --> 160) and have been doing great for the first 4 years. After that, I've been on a strict Low-carb diet for the last 2+ years, consuming under 25 gm carbs/day, consistently in ketosis. I take a few days off this diet when I go on vacation, but that's only 3-4 times per year. My normal diet consists of meat, fish, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, cream and nuts. Once in a while (2-3 times per month) I'll add low-carb tortilla wrap, or a bit of low-carb/soy pasta. Can't eat salads after a sleeve - it feels like a rock in my stomach. Haven't had soda since just before surgery. I do drink some water with meals, which is an issue, but hard to give up. I use a bit of Monk Fruit sweetener in my coffee/tea, and periodically have bite of low carb dark chocolate from Trader Joe's, but thats about it for bad dietary habits. I also increased my physical activity by powerwalking 40 min/day.
None of this is stoping the weight from creaping back up. I regained about 25 lbs since my lowest (160 --> 185). Have been reading about Endoscopic Suturing and am wondering if anyone here has done it and willing to share their experience?
