New and 2 wks post-op
Hello and nice to meet everyone. I’m Beth, 2 weeks post-op for the gastric sleeve. I feel like everything has been going alright for the most part, though am still learning those full cues. I had been curious to how much I had been losing so far, so I bought a scale since I would otherwise have to wait every three months…
my Introduction
Hello, I had the RNY done 2010 and have done well. Lost 200+ with no skin removal. The problem that I do have is that gaining some back and really down on myself. I am looking for support and accountability. It's very hard for me to stick to things. I guess it's the doubt and the consistency. I get bored and irritated. I'm…
Successful RNY needs refocusing
I had GBS 12 years ago. I originally lost 140# and have successfully maintained 115# of that loss. Over the last year, I've been really sloppy with my eating. Old habits are creeping back in, and sugar addiction taking hold. I am looking for a few people to help with support and accountability. Anybody out there?
Beginning the Pre surgery journey
I'm just starting on this journey but am excited for the opportunity to change my eating habits and become a healthier, smaller version of me!! :) Congrats to you who have made the change and good luck to those not quite there yet. We will Do It! #LetsGo
Re gain after hitting goal weight
FYI it is highly likely if you are not forever diligent your weight will creep back on. Mine has several times and I'm not talking about 15 or even 30 lbs it's been almost to my original weight. Sleeved 2011 and was a size 2 -4 in 2020 .That year was my undoing and now I am almost back to square one. I am wondering if any…
4 days post op and doing great!
I just returned from Mexico where I had the most amazing experience. I got the sleeve and I followed the two week pre op to the letter and subsequently I think my surgery went really well. I did have to have a hernia repair done as well. The gas pains were not fun (still have residual pain) but the more walking I do, the…

New to the community
Hey everyone, I'm Lauren, got sleeved on 5/10/2023. I was on track until Halloween—hit a stall. Switched from Baritastic to MyFitnessPal for easier meal tracking. Seeking cheer buddies or anyone who gets the struggle with old habits. Tips are welcome, just looking for kindness! Thanks a bunch!
Bypass 7 years ago
My name is Clair. Had RNY May 2016 and lost 120 lbs. Recently 15 lbs have crept back on due to my own loss of motivation. Hoping to lose all 15 by cruise in January. Joined gym and now trying to get back on track with eating healthy and high protein.
Almost 4.5 years since surgery
First of all, I'm always surprised when I occasionally check this group that there is not a lot more activity. Anyone know if there is another more active group for VSG peeps? Anyway, just popping in to share that I am still maintaining a loss of 110 pounds. The longer I go, the more confident I feel that I can keep it off…
