Fellow sleevers weigh in... sometimes when I have logged my food, I feel like maybe I'm eating too much and will stretch out my little stomach pouch. I eat way more than the weeks following surgery, and more than what I eat even after starting solid foods. I eat less than before surgery, but I'm so scared of stretching out my pouch and getting back to the size I was. Any advice/input?
ps, feel free to friend me, I was sleeved July 8.0 -
I was sleeved July 1 and am down 42 lbs. I too have the fear of eating too much and recently my WL has slowed to almost a stall. I have upped my calories and protein hoping that will jump start at bit. Exercise is a problem right now. Not making excuses, however the reality of my life at the moment is making it difficult to fit in. I do log everyday so please feel free to add me as a friend any of you fellow sleevers out their. The support and feedback are always helpful - it works both ways.0

A 'sleeve' board! Good morning y'all - isn't it great to be a "loser"???!!!!!
I'm Stacy, I am a 'veteran' I guess. I had surgery on June 11, 2010 - I love it and would have surgery again
in a heartbeat!!!
I'm been maintaining for over 2.5 years. What are your stories??!!!0 -
I has GBS on July 30. I'm 44 year old Texan. I struggle with calorie intake and enough protein.0

I had the surgery 3 years ago. I lost 75 pounds but have gained 30 pounds back in the last year and a half. So...I joined a gym and MFP. I have hired a personal trainer and have been working out for two months. I started my new eating healthy on Monday.
Although the surgery helped me to lose the weight once your body adjusts you will gain the weight back if you don't change your eating habits. Since day 1 I have been hungry....which I did not understand because they said they were cutting out the part of the stomach that causes hunger. Anyway, i am trying to lose the weight I have gained and hopefully I can exercise on a regular basis....which is something I have never done.
A few questions:
1. Does anyone else have trouble drining water? My stomach gets iritated once the water hits it...no matter what temperature. My doctor had no clue.
2. Also, for those that are years post surgery....what food plan are you following?
Good luck to us all!0 -
