I am 2 months post-op. Down 50 pounds and loving life! Best decision I ever made!
Well done im 4m post op and I've lost the same.
@No Malice I had sleeve and I could have returned to work the next week.
@@sparklesandsmog I am about to have surgery within the next couple of months. I am curious as to if you have heard from people and what you think. Is bypass or sleeve the best way to go and for best results as well in the long run? I am supposed to be having the gastric bypass but I have been given the choice as to which I would prefer so now I'm waiting out the option and willing to hear from other people who have had the sleeve as well??
I'm 10 days and I love seeing how happy this is making people. Reassures me about this life changing decision. Congratulations!!
@Queen Opp I'm not in America but I have 1 month off of work.
I had the sleeve 7/29/16. Processed foods taste nasty now. I lost my weight in 7 months but I was not happy with my body. I started hiking 4/14/17 and went from a size 10 to a size 4 in 7 months.I hike 3-4 miles at least 4 times a week. My weight regulates itself and I don't worry about the scale. One MUST exersize AND diet....there is NO way around it. Milk and soda is a no-no for me. Surgery is not the magic bullet but it is a most excellent tool
+Weezer VanTrout sounds like you're doing great, exercise is your best weapon against weight regain
I am six months postop and I am eating small salads with healthy fats and proteins throughout the day because of your video. I am so addicted to salads now. Thank you!
+Jeni Lamberto great work!
Jeni Lamberto are you still addicted to salads?
@@silverlining2794 Funny you should ask, I just reaquainted myself with the. They really do make me feel the best. Are you?
Jeni Lamberto I have moments where I can eat salsa all day everyday but not recently. I am scheduled for my surgery in July but I’d like to start making healthier choices now.
@@silverlining2794 That's so exciting!!!! My advice to you is do that like it's your job. Start now because it will give you the best start and habits. Follow the preop like it is your only concern at the time. Eliminater any need for caffeine and carbs before the surgery. Then, when you have the surgery stay on total food lockdown for 2 to 3 years to establish your habits. A lot of people are in a hurry to eat more. My feeling is just keep your food and animal protein at 3 ounces and under forever. I still weigh everything in my home and even though I can technically have 3 ounces I still listen to my hinger signals. Sometimes that means I only eat 2.4 ounces of proein at a time. Does that make sensnse? I am 3.5 years postop and still mainaining around 2121 pounds. My IG accounts are erniesmom863 and vsg.keto.timetoshapeup. Please feel free to dm me anytime. I am so excited fgor you!!!! And stay away from processed foods. That's the number on rule!!!!!
I am seven years post gastric sleeve. I lost 77 pounds and got down to 156 pounds. I am now 171 pounds but have found this very interesting. It has renewed my interest in healthier eating. Thank you.

You always provide the best advise. I did my surgery 8 years ago and every time I need to keep on track I go back to your videos.
This really helped, I thought my stomach stretched. Now, I know it's because my bad habits not going to work out. I wss thinking about SURGERY again. I had the gastric sleeve, lost 100, gain 60 back.
Fix your lifestyle first before you consider any type of revision.
3.5 YRS LATER, I lost 80 pds.SLEEVE CHANGED MY LIFE! DAUGHTER LOVES HER SLEEVE TOO. DR ALMANZA DID BOTH. NO PROBLEMS. TAKE ACTION NOW!
hi did you have loose skin
Brenda Slack Dr.Alamanza did mine too!! Such a miracle. 51lbs in less than 4 months so far and now hit a plateau sadly
c a l l m e k a t i e Hang in there. I hit a plateau at five months, lost three pounds only the next month. I went by my loose clothes and kept going. This month, I dropped ten pounds in two weeks! Keep eating well and exercising. It will come. Good luck 💟🌞☺
Brenda Slack you only lost 80lbs?
@@Shadeed33 That's extremely disappointing!! 3.5 years?
Also I have been seeing a psychologist and will continue probably forever, this is my chance and I don’t want to mess it up.
just had "the sleeve" 5 days ago and want this to change my life
Scott Sawyer I️ wish you the best! You got this!
You Got This!! I was sleeved Oct 17th 2017, so far so good!!
+Scott Sawyer congrats
@@CHARGERGYRL hey can u share ur experience.? It's been a year now.
Hows it going man ? Can you give update about your health now ?
This made tons of sense. I go to a support group and everyone is talking about their hunger returning. No one is saying how they feed that hunger! I will have to absorb this great info before my surgery next week. Thank you
How did your surgery go? How are you feeling now?

This is a very realistic, compassionate and human way of explaining how to keep the weight off at the 3 year post surgery mark. Thank you.

Dr. Weiner, thank you. I need reminding me to continue my weight loss journey. You re-point out the things that I'm doing well as much as maintaining my delicate diet. I found out that I cannot tolerate food that contains gluten, so that may have plaid a important part of my childhood weight problems that occurred from being a 4 pound preemie. I came from 375 lb to now 185 lb person, but my goal weight that I need is around 155-160. I am just about 11 months out. I find my self doing what you've been talking about. You definitely and accurately describe what I'm going through now.
Want to see more content? Follow me on instagram @drmatthewweiner see you there!
I’m 3 weeks post sleeve, I have lost 13 lbs, which I think is fantastic (I am currently 256lbs down from 303 at my highest I lost about 35 lbs in 4 months on my own, then just stayed there for a year.) best decision ever!
Congratulations on your success, Follow me on instagram @drmatthewweiner see you there!

These video's have been so interesting, quick, packed with info that i haven't heard anywhere else and makes perfect sense. Thank you!!!
Very well presented.
I am going to start making a bowl of salad or healthy veges for snacks each morning now.
This is the best advice I have ever heard. Great job Doctor!

Wow, what an utterly incredible video. I'm currently deciding if I want to get surgery and this gave me MUCH more realistic expectations and already gave me a healthy perspective on issues I was inaccurately honing in on (like the stomach stretching out). THANK YOU!
Dont
Thank you so much for this very important information Dr Weiner.
I am pre op right now, approved for surgery but waiting for the date; you have answered so many questions that no one else could, and I feel so much more confident going into this now. Thank you!
shehuweaves You're welcome!
Great video, keep it up!
I had RNY 8-15-17 and I found myself having a lot of questions even though I've done my research prior to getting this procedure. I happened to come across your videos here on TH-cam and they are so informative so educational to those looking to get bariatric surgery it's very informative before and after the fact you are amazing, I just ur videos and advice! thank u for taking time out to educate us.
You're welcome. Thanks for your kind words
Thank you for the great information. So helpful.
Thank you for sharing this excellent informational journey.
I just want to say, Dr Weiner I love you! you have been a tremendous wealth of information for me. I wish I had you for me surgeon because you not only focus on the wls but life after. I continue to educate myself by watching your vids. thank you!
+ningaz thanks!
very informative. thank you.
The is the best advice.
Loved this!!!! Makes me realize why I had the surgery in the first place... Healthier me!!!!

This video was very helpful thank you . I’m going to order your book. I totally made a lifestyle change . I eat no dairy , no meat . I feel better than I ever have
Dr. Weiner, I am your last post before this and I have had great success, even at 62. Am down from 330 and am hitting a bit of a wall at 238. I am kicking in exercise to get things moving again. I love your videos and have your book, you help keep me focused and I pass your info on to so many others. Would you please make another video about the crazy idea I hear and see all over FB of "The 5 days pouch reset test". Makes me crazy when people believe some "trick" can get them back on track and losing again. I think they have moved to processed unhealthy food as they ate before, and the reset is just healthy food that makes you feel satisfied and back to good eating. Such false info out there about the details of surgery and weight loss, love that you address so many of those details and give us a better look at the real big picture. Thanks so much Doc.
Sure, great topic.
Thank you for great info doctor!!
thanks for this information Doctor.
Thank you Dr. Great information. I'm not having surgery until October, but I want to be successful and this video is a great resource.
Thank you so much Dr. Weiner. I'm a little over a year out out from surgery. This video explains so well what I've been experiencing. Increase in appetite and a complete stop in my weight loss even though I have about 35 lbs. To go. I'll definitely be making these changes. Thank you!
Jennifer Bleecher You're welcome.
Thank you!
I had my VSG on March 3 and so glad I found your videos. Extremely helpful and reassuring.
VinceP1974 Great, thanks.
VinceP1974 hows it going bro ?

Thanks, Dr.
Wow!!! You freaking Rock!! Sorry thank you so much Dr.Weiner.. I've watched many videos and they were all good.. You definitely put it into a better perspective to me.. Ugh I'm a little scare now well a bit more.. I wonder if I can stick with that but I'm definitely gonna try.. Love all your advice.. Thank you, thank you😊

Awesome video. I'm 4 days post-op. This has been very helpful. Thank you.
Just got your book! Thank you.
Thank you! Dr.Weiner can't wait to have my surgery
good luck!
Thank you for this amazing video. There's a lot of information that a lot of people don't know and can be of use after surgery in the long run. 👍👍👍
Gabriela Cabrera Thanks, that's why I made it.
Hi doctor, I feel my pouch empties so fast and I'm 14 months post rny, I'll eat til full then ten mins later want to eat more, whereas people without the surgery I know they will still be full from lunch like an hour later. I wasn't sure if my stoma has stetched but hearing what u said put my mind at ease this is normal, I want to know how long do u think food stays in the stomach of non op person after getting full. Also I haven't taken vitamins at all except the very start, my bloods are constantly being checked and all results are normal, have u ever heard of this happening before. Has not enough roux limb been bypassed?
Thank you for the info! Very useful. I am 8 months out from surgery and I am trying to step up my intensity with cardio drumming routines which I enjoy.

Thank you for this video, this is one of the most informative, I've seen. On my 4th year and I just wish I'd received more guidance. But thankfully just 10lbs of regain!
Sounds like you're doing great
Thanks for this video. I'm almost 2 1/2 years out of sleeve surgery - and I've suspected for the last 6 months that the food was leaving my sleeve very quickly. I do eat a predominantly plant based diet and have for the last year and a half. I had a hysterectomy 5 months ago and healing has been a little slow. I had to stop everything for another month back at the end of Jan. and I'm now back to spin classes and very light lifting. I gained only about 5 pounds but I don't want that to turn into 15-20. I just told myself - no dieting - if I want something to eat it just needs to be veggies, beans or fruits. Thanks for this video it affirmed what I was thinking. Looking forward to your new book. Take care. Connie
cmf1267 You have a great attitude. Maintaining your weight loss after sleeve is not easy, but it is possible!!!
Best decision ever ! I had surgery on 07/12/21 starting Weight 216 lbs, Down to 205. I’ll start sharing my story soon on my channel.
Great video - and so true - have gained back 20 after 8 years RNY - old foods called my name (I literally had not touched them in 7 years) and I answered back.....going to get this 20 off and more! Thanks for sharing.
How do you feel about losing weight again after 8 years post OP? Is it easier than pre-op? Do you still have any restriction or can you eat the way you used to before surgery? Thanks in advance.
1 of my main questions Dr you definitely answered it.
Thank you so much for these videos Dr. Weiner, they're so helpful and informative, I love my surgeon (I'm a little over 1 month post-op VSG) but I can't help but feel a little rushed through my follow-up appointments and you answer in depth a lot of my questions that they just kinda breezed over at my appointments. Thanks again!!
+Meghan Allen glad to hear they help. The reason I created these videos was I felt rushed in my post op appts too and wanted to make sure my patients had all the info they needed.
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos

I am having revision surgery in may 1 2018 from sleeve to mini gastric bypass in mexico
Thank you for answering all my questions. Prevention, prevention, prevention and being realistic all bases covered. Think in long-term, make healthy choices and, don't beat yourself up! Rather live life. Thank you, valueable much-needed information, and keeping it real. I had the removal of lap band 2yrs ago a positive outcome, I converted to Vegetarian, going 4yrs. Totally agree, in food and physical choices, Quality over Quantity.P.S My surgery coming, next week 9th of October! Cheers from Australia

Hello Dr Weiner, discovered this video after browsing web. Thank you, I had my gastric sleeve four years ago, and have maintained my weight though I still feel I have another 10 - 15kgs to lose. I eat healthy, exercise regularly. Though have bradycardia, and aortic stenosis (heart murmer) discovered when I had sleeve. This does make it hard at times. Recently had an unconscious collapse - reviewed by cardiologist. (will eventually need valve replacement and pacemaker) I have lost 60kg so far, and want to stay healthy. Thank you for your videos and encouragement. Regards from Australia. :) Lynda

Fantastic video! Thank you!
You're welcome!
This is so important for people to see thank you
I am 7 years out from Band to Sleeve revision with zero weight loss, my doctor NEVER discussed any of this with me. I do eat pretty healthy and work out daily. My hormones and Genetics are horrible.....Thank you for sharing this information
Thank you
Really important! I'm learning so much here, thanks Dr Weiner
You're welcome
great video
Thank you so so much for this video!
You're welcome
Excellent video!!!
I am having RNY done on November 16th and your videos are EXTREMELY helpful. I even bought your book yesterday! :D
+Stephanie F. Great, good luck!
Thank you!! I sooo needed to hear this! :-)
Thanks sir!
Thank you Dr Weiner! This video was sent to me by a fellow weight VSG'ER and it helps me to understand why i have not felt restriction since my surgery and why i am struggling with eating. I will follow your tips whole heatedly! Thank you so much! Dixie
vsg southerbell You're welcome. Good Luck
Thank you Dr.
This video made me feel so much better. I am 4 months post op and lost 60lbs so far but my scale said i gained just over a lb! I got scared maybe my pouch got stretched but i honestly think I ate some bread and i havnt had bread since pre surgery in November. Lesson learned. No bread for me! I really want and need to lose a minimum of i think another 70lbs. I was at 243 day of surgery and im 60lbs dwn. My goal is to be 115 lbs but my doctor says 140 is actually fine. Im trying so hard!!!!
I just had rny on the 5th and am part of a FB bariatric group. This has been amazing and I had to share in that group due to so many expressing preemptive and post surgery "stretching." Great video! thanks!
Can you please give the name of the group? I'm considering surgery and it would be great to join a community.
It's so true about medication. I was always skinny then put on regular prednisone as a teenager and started gaining weight. The specialist said it doesn't permanently affect metabolism but I have now had a lifetime of gaining weight really quickly. I have not had prednisone since my early 20's and am now 46yrs. Scheduled for a VSG in May. I am positive the medication changed my bodies reaction to food.
I agree 100%, steroids can really screw up your metabolism
thanks
Great video
I really enjoy your videos. They make so much sense. When I asked my surgeon for a profile of his patients who were most successful he said it was those who are committed to a whole food eating and active fitness lifestyle. It's inspiring to hear such great results from both of you about your patients and transformed their transformed lives. ✨
Glad to hear that your doc is pushing the whole foods lifestyle rather than the high protein, low calorie one that most bariatric programs endorse.
Thank you so much for this video. I am about 5 and 1/2 weeks out from surgery (VSG) and I was cleared to eat solid foods, I feel that I am able to eat too much at a time (3-5oz) and have been worried about it. Thankfully, I've been eating healthy foods that I've prepared myself, but this video was a good reminder to really focus on not letting myself slide back in to my old habits. I've been craving pizza and goodies lately but this video helped to put me back in the right mind set!
Glad to hear it - the sleeve is primarily a set point lowering surgery, the amount of restriction does not equate to weight loss. Don't worry about your portion sizes and focus on making healthy choices.
Your videos are so helpful. I sure wish I had found them sooner. I had lap band in 2011; now I wish I’d had the sleeve. I lost 67 lbs but have gained it all back, and more. I’m considering a revision to the sleeve, and I’m going to get your book so I can learn more about post op eating. I ate wrong after my band. The weight came off so fast at first that it was easy for me to fall into the pizza scenario you gave. At this point, I still eat 1/2 of what I ate pre-band and in spite of dietary changes, I still can’t get more than 10-20 pounds off. I’m so discouraged.
The band was a failure, not you. Revision to a sleeve (or gastric bypass) is a great option
Dr. Wiener, I'm so glad I saw your vid. I'm 2yrs post op and lapsed back into unhealthy habits which have resulted in weight gain. I've been considering asking my surgeon to X-ray my sleeve because I can eat a full plate now and even when I was at the puréed stage I was eating much more than 2-3 oz of food. Listening to you has helped me to understand the need to take my focus off of the size of my sleeve to rather what I am actually eating. I'm starting a pouch reset today..going all liquids to shrink my stomach and reset my mind that I am a Bariatric patient that had surgery to lose weight. I've been eating almost anythin I want, but still though I would lose weight because of a smaller stomach. sooo not true. I lost 50lbs then gained 16 recently. top weight 260 now I'm 226. I take Latuda, but I'm told it's not supposed to cause weight gain. ?? Also, I have back pain so I haven't been exercising lately. I'm not giving up though. I will do exercises as the pain lets up and I will focus more on what I put in my mouth.
Sounds like you've gotten yourself back on track. Good luck!
Shineeyes, I'm also able to eat more than 2 or 3 bites (in the puree stage)and feeling I'm doing something wrong or they didn't take enough of stomach. Still losing but was wondering why I can eat more than suggested?
@@apoundofcure plz guide about Bariatric Embolization?????
Hello! I live in Missouri and I had the RNY 3.7.19. HW 341 CW 191. I am so happy to be active and moving on my own and not riding in scooters or unable to tie or buckle my shoes.
Congratulations👍
I wish I had this information at 6 months after surgery. I hit a plateau and stayed the same for several years. Now I am almost 4 years out and have regained 50 of a 65 pound loss. At 67 years of age, I am trying to get it off, but it is slow going. Where can I find your Metabolic Reset diet. Your video is great and should be required viewing for all bariatric surgery patients. Keep up the good work.
+Kathie Condon thanks, the diet is in my book, a pound of cure
Thank you. This is a really informative vid and helped me understand what is happening for me. Next month I'll be 4 years post-op from gastric bypass (Roux En Y). I can usually eat a regular sized plate of food but not usually a restaurant size plate of food. It's great to be able to take home 1/2 of those for another meal later that day. Weight loss surgery was the best thing I've ever done for myself.
+Cathrine Jansen Sounds like you're doing great
Thanks Doc...You have enlightened me. I am 18months post Gastric Sleeve and have gained 20lbs back. I am now encouraged, thanks to you.
How much food can your stomach hold now?
Do you have an instagram? Follow me at @drmatthewweiner where you can see more content!
@Dr. Matthew Weiner I will definitely start following your page. I have to get this weight back off. I am still much less than when I started but I am now having knee problems and when you are in pain it can become depressing.
You may have just saved me a revision surgery. Can I use that Calo Ratio app? I don't see itbin the Google app store.
Amazing content...💜💜💜
P.S. Dr Wiener's videos are so helpful!
