Hi Amy, how are things going,, my story is starting to sound a lot like yours. You posted in January the sugar monster and you discovering you can eat sugar and fat without dumping. I'm there now too. Surgery was June 25th 2009 I have lost all the weight I need to I'm size 4-6 which is great but I'm scared I will gain it back. What's going on now. Sara

Hello everyone - congratulations to everyone on your WLS success! I am
down 85lbs since I had my SLEEVE ON June 3, 09. It feels good squeezing
into a size 6-8. Never thought that I would ever be there. I have had some
challenges over the last month and need to know how you all OR if anyo
has had this happen to them and HOW THEY / YOU SWONG BACK.
THE bottom line is that I am eating sugar and sweets, I actually went thru
the Taco Hell drive thru 2 days ago to get a 89c burrito. I only ate some
of it, because it was all I could eat. (small pouch) It's like that carb
monster that everyone talks about. Except mine is the sugar monster. My
big down fall is chocolate and junk- just like it used to be before my
surgery. I would just eat, board or not board; usually at home though.
Here is what I haven't done correctly is drink enough water and some days I
am shy on the protein. It's like I am out of control on some days, and some
days not.
I HATE that my body / mind discovered that it CAN go over the 10 g of sugar
& 10 g of Fat with OUT dumping. I feel like I am failing all over again - I
have been steady at 155 since Nov 24, but no weight loss and no work out- I
feel like my old self again and this is not what I signed up for - for the
rest of my life (one day at a time though)
Has anyone went through this and was able to swing back into the game again
? I know that I am not alone and I do plan on staying at the weight that I
am at - would like to lose 10 more .
I know if it's to be, it's up to me. yet I keep struggling and I do have
this fear of being discovered out there by men and being safe... I have been
single for the last 5 years and was protected by my weight. I know that it
is also a behavioral thing as well, I know what I know. I just want to know
that it's ok and it's just a phase. I do 80 g of protein on most
days.Bullets, Simply Whey and the new Julian Michaels protein shake which is
awesome. I double up on it as it only has 15g of protein, but it rocks !!!
I find it at Walmart.. Just tired the Pure Whey vanilla and it's great too,
has 52 g of protein.
Well, thanks for listening.

I am also six months out. Surgery was 8/24 and I have lost 101 lbs. I feel amazing. I have been extremely lucky and had no problems.
When I am having a down moment it doesn't take me long to look back at the size 28/30 jeans in the box of clothes that don't fit and remember I never want to go back. We have all made the choice to change out lives and I feel like I have been giving a GIFT of my life back. I can't look back only move forward and enjoy every day with my kids.

I had a gastric segmentation in 2000 (very similar to banding - just not adjustable).
I was 301 and lost to 145. I maintained this for about 2 yrs. Then I got comfortable and started gaining also hit 30 (I do believe this slows down weight loss). The most weight I gained is up to 195. My comfortable weight is about 170 (I'm 5'7").
I was very discouraged when I tried to loss weight the second time and it did not come off like after the surgery. Now losing weight is like before the surgery. I really have to work at it. I have to watch what I eat, count calories, and exercise. After the surgery, it seemed as if the weight just fell off ( I really didn't have to put alot of effort into it).
I still have cravings. I will sometimes overeat. I have all the same issues as before but I don't let it get our of hand. I am more aware of my body and when I put on weight. I try to make immediate corrections when I start gaining.
I hope this was helpful for the new surgery/weight loss people.
