hopeful2 be slim

this surgery is tricky to say the least. I too am a band to sleeve revision....now putting on...proteins Water exercise....maybe not drinking enough water...hmm...increased exercise a lot...but i am having sugar in tea...in India we drink a lot of tea....i think sugar is totally banned for us.. our body is now refusing to cooperate...like it has a mind of its own.

thanks Liz for your support...i felt so good...i dont eat much..but sugar in the tea..thats bad.....i am an indian and we are tea addicts... but i must control..also we dont have much options for non veg..and so Protein is also less..

how to add the ticker....i had it earlier....now its not showing.

i am happy with my sleeve....i was throwing up a lot with the band. <a href='http://www.bariatricpal.com'><img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/tickers/109046-hopeful2-be-slim/bmi.png?ts=1440475989' /></a>

hi...i was sleeved in feb 2014....then i had knee transplant in oct 2014. unfortunattely i lost my husband on 5th nov 2014. i am more active can walk a lot..but all this has disturbed my body. i have put on few kgs and now the weight is stuck. i have a lotof tea with sugar....and generally am too busy to count my Protein intake. i am wondering how to come out of this situation.

oh is it....then i am putting on weight....have to be careful.

hello all...i had my band in feb 2011. but it didnt help much....i had arthritis couldnt walk....then it slipped..started putting on...so converted band to sleeve in feb 2014. my knees were too bad so had knee transplant in oct 2014. now i can walk a lot...but weight is slowly increasing....my posture is better now...i look good...i read earlier that muscle weighs much more than fat...since I walk and exercise maybe my weight has increased? my weight is now 176 lbs

hello. i didnt loose much....maybe 9 kg....now have put on 1 kg.. 4 months back I lost my husband...sudden heart attack...so my diet and every thing went haywire....still feeling alone and low... I had a lap band in 2012, lost 6 kg....then started putting on...so went for sleeve..in 2014...then lost 9 kg...

hello. i had a sleeve surgery last jan...23rd jan 2014. then on 13th oct 2014 I had knee transplant ,both knees. now I notice I am slowly gaining weight. I am walking a lot.eating Proteins, having Water. I am scared at this gain.... does anyone have a similar experience.

we have to go on eating high protein....other wise weight goes up....protein and water and exercise....unless we do these three things...weight will surely increase...its a serious matter...this weight loss..

i have had knee transplant and am taking brufen daily since more than a month...can I continue...i also take some pentab with it. i had sleeve on 28th jan.2014

thanks Miss Mac...yes my daughter and grandchildren are here...and friends also...yes both knees together..it was quite a bit...but getting better now.

hi...havent been here for sometime...I was sleeved on 28th jan 2014. lost some weight..then I had knee transplant of both knees on 13th oct. recovering slowly....husband was taking great care of me...he passed away suddenly on 5th oct. Now I am sad and lonely...trying to come out of this shock. I also want to loose more weight....every thing is difficult now.

hi Luvin, No i dont have any allergies...no cough...no irritation...so got worried....thanks..i will meet my doc today...i have been feeling feverish in this week... lets see what the doc says.. thanks.

I got my tests done ....only one abnormal reading....high eosinophils...normal range is 1 to 6% .mine is 9%!!! is this a side effect of the sleeve....does anyone know...

Hi Linda I am feeling tired most of the time...i think I'll take B-12 shots now.

I have also stalled...since 3 months...but my problem is lack of exercise...due to severe arthritis i cant walk...movements are very slow...I am going for knee transplant in oct...so after that I am hopeful of walking more and loosing...I loved walking...but due to various problems...knees are bad..

I think we feel tired because the part that was removed was absorbing B-12 from food. So now its neccessary to take supplements. I am taking 500 mg daily and now feeling better.

trish...you are still loosing even after two years...thats wonderful...and good news to me..I was thinking we stop loosing after 9 months or so.... congratulations.

thanks brad for all your updates....I am going for both knee transplants in oct...might as well finish it at one time. I hope to loose more weight then when I can walk. all the best.

hello, My gout is ok now...but weight loss...not very sucessful....just moving up and down...but I am happy I am not putting on weight...and I am sure slowly I will loose more...all the best to all of u.

I think the hair falls off because the body is in shock and so uses its strength to repair the stomach..and hair is deprived of nutrition..besides we are also on liquid diet for quite some time.

I also have this problem...burning feet...tingling sensation...I have taken 1 shot...but still feeling tired and fatigue... its the side effect of the surgery.
