  1. I had a band put in in June of 2008. I did well. I lost 115 pounds in one year. I had port revision in 2009 my port was loose. AND then stalled for a year, no weight loss at all! So last August-2010- I had a band to sleeve conversion. I lost a few pounds on the liquid post and pre op diet and then NOTHING>>>> not one dag on pound. I try and eat a higher Protein diet, but I do eat a little bread now and fruit, Apples, veggies and meat. I haven't had sugar in 3 years. It's poison! Don't touch it. I workout 3 to 4 times a week 60 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. I only lift weights occassionally. ALL my blood work is NORMAL! Yes Vitamins etc...normal.. AND I am STARVING all the time. I have tried everything. I do not have a doctor here as my surgeon has left?? There is no scientific explanation...I eat about 1200 to 1500 calories a day sometimes more somedays less. I really work my butt off at this weight loss and nothing. I am so frustrated I could scream! I don't know what to do and no one has any explanation for it at all. I am kinda missing my band and feel like I am eating too much. I can eat a whole chicken breast at one time (nothing else) a whole sandwhich, etc...I am missing my band....I am considering having it put back in on my sleeve? I am at my wits end here, can anyone out there help me?? I am so alone!!
