5 years post-op :how are you all actually feeling long-term?
Hey everyone, I’m about 5 years out from my gastric sleeve and wanted to hear from others who are in a similar timeline. For context, I’ve lost around 65–70% of my excess weight, so overall the surgery “worked” in that sense. But long-term, I’m not sure how I feel about everything else. I still deal with things like: Getting the foamies sometimes Periods where I just don’t feel like eating at all Skipping meals (sometimes even full days) without really trying Just a weird relationship with food overall It’s not necessarily pain or anything extreme.it’s more like food just isn’t appealing sometimes, or I avoid it because I don’t want to deal with the discomfort. So I’m curious: If you’re 5+ years out, how do you feel now? Has your appetite normalized? Do you still get foamies or similar issues? Are you eating regularly, or do you still have days where you barely eat? Mentally, how’s your relationship with food now compared to before surgery? Would really appreciate honest experiences good or bad.
