    Default 3 years later - weight loss/gain roller coaster

    I had my sleeve 3 years ago and lost over 100 pounds in the 18 months.
    Then the weight starting creeping back slowly over the next year and I was so disappointed in myself, depressed and discouraged, I was back up 35 pounds and felt like a failure.
    About 8 months ago I was introduced to the link between weight gain and Gut Health.In the past 7 months I have lost 25 pounds, have more energy, no longer anemic, better mood, no longer constipated (after 20 years) and sleeping like a baby at night. I researched like crazy and got approval from my local doctor to start taking an all-natural supplement that is healing my gut, balancing my blood sugar and my 46 year old wacky hormones.
    I’m honestly not even sure what is causing the weight loss. Is it because I’m better rested and less likely to lay on the couch at night? Is it because I’m not craving and eating chocolate during my PMS roller coaster? Is it because I’m less depressed so don’t go to potato chips for comfort? I don’t know but I do know it’s working like a charm and I no longer look in the mirror and think “you suck; you are a failure”.
    I’d love to help out others who are in the same boat that I was 7 months ago. We can turn this around!

    The Gut is a funny thing. I stalled out for a while and my Dad said I probably needed probiotics. I found some at Walmart and within a week I was losing again. Glad to hear it's working for you as well.

    Hi, Harley girl the name of the product is Plexus. I honestly only started taking it to try to get my husband to try it. He suffers from depression but is in denial of that fact. So we both started it and it has been the second best medical choice of my life (first being my WLS). If you are on Facebook, please send me a friend request Cheryl Kerr Fitchie and I can add you to a private group that has a great deal of information in it. The hormone balance is the first thing it did for me and maybe it can do some healing for you too.

    Is it Plexus Slim? Is it really expensive? Maybe you have a link of exactly what it is.
