Weight Update Jan. 2022
WORTH IT$30,000
Since the pandemic I have struggled tremendously. I now weigh over 200 lbs again, this after 8 has passed and only maintaining up to two years since my surgery in 2014. It was in 2019 when my weight took a turn for the worst and weight gain took over do to not being able to go to the gym and lockdown from the COVID-19 takeover.
I just recently got my membership back and I'm now on the road to getting my little body back and my health back on track. I have gained nearly all my weight back, which I started out at 252 in 2014, maintained between 170-180 lbs through to the beginning of 2019, and now I'm looking at 238 lbs since the end of 2019-present. I am so disappointed in myself, but now that I've gotten my gym membership back and I've gotten rid of everything bad in my kitchen, I feel confident that I will return to my weight goal of 170-175 pounds. Realistically speaking. Please pray for me in my new journey to happier, healthier and smaller. Love to everyone on their weight loss journeys and all other endeavors. Love

5 years post op.
I was 252 lbs and had gastric sleeve surgery July 2014. It is now nearly 5 years and I am gaining weight and I am scared. I don't eat a lot and I still feel restriction but the weight is coming back. I am now 205 lbs. I lost 100 lbs to 152 lbs so imagine my dilemma. I still look good but the weight gain. I causing me to have anxiety, high blood pressure and sugar issues all over again.

I’m so scared this is going to happen to me.
I am just starting the process and everyone keeps trying to discourage me by saying your just going to gain the weight back. Have you spoken to your doctors on how to prevent this? It sounds like you have maintained your post vsg lifestyle. Eating small portions and working out so what can cause the weight to creep back up? I don’t want this surgery to all be in vain. Wishing you much luck that you are able to get back down to ur goal I followed your whole feed and although no matter what your weight you are a beautiful person internally and externally but I know healthy is your goal. Stay strong

I have spoken to my bariatric physician about what is going on with my weight and I have been adding more days of exercise, doing at least 1 to 1 1/2 hours a day of exercise. I have started back eating on a suacer size plate instead of the big plate. I have gone back to drinking water or flavored water with 0 calories. I will still eat what I want but in veey small portions to where I don't feel tightening in my stomach, always leaving food behind in my plate and not eating until I feel pain. Add more fruits and veggies to my plate and white meat, preferably baked. I will no longer eat after 8 pm because I work 3rd shift which is the hardest shift to work with this type of surgery. And I will try to get plenty of rest. And take my vitamins regularly to keep my immune system built up. I will eat only very low calorie snacks or no snacks at all. I found eating 1 to 2 pickles a day keeps the bowls cleaned out and helps with digestion and regular urination for detoxing. I will get my weight back down and under control and all the bad symptoms gone again for good. I will not fail my sleeve or make having the surgery a total waste of my money or doctors time and efforts to help me change my life. Ggod luck to all who have bariatric surgery of any kind and remember it is only a tool and a good tool and we must help our tool help us to fight the terrible illnesses that come with obesity. Love you all so much and I wish us all the best. It is an every day struggle but we can WIN 4 LIFE!

2 years post op VSG
I am now 2 years and a half post op VSG and going strong. I gained 172 lbs back I think because my body was adjusting to so much weight loss. But I'm maintaining my weight at 170 lbs. Highest weight 252, Surgery weight 237.2, Current weight 172, New Goal weight 155 lbs. I am determined to get back down under 160 lbs first and then go on down from there! I did it once and I'll do it again! I have been thrown back into that overly busy lifestyle again to where I don't have much time to exercise and eat right like I should, but I am getting back on track because I promised myself that I wouldn't let this lifestyle change take another turn for the worst again of the surgery be a waste of money. I know there will be times of setback but I won't let it keep me back! Pray for me because this is one hard journey but I'm willing to conquer!

you look great. I was wondering if you had any issue with excessive lose skin after the weight loss that's one of my biggest fears about post surgery.
