Just Lindsey

Hi Lindsey,I am also band to sleeve and have found that I have to accept that my loss of weight is slower than many others.Surgeon said that top of my pouch was stretched from the slipped band.The thing is not to weigh to often, I weigh once a month and can honestly say that I have never failed to lose weight any month.I have lost 63lbs in 7 months which compared to some people is slow,but I know that this is a marathon not a sprint and I could happily eat as I do now for the rest of my life.I am free of the grip that food had over me,and I still lose steadily every month.I have taken up nordic walking and go cycling and aquafit a couple of times a week I am 66years old and feel on top of the world.Pippinleicester.

Try putting 22llbs into two bags and carry it around for an hour... It might change your mind on how well you have really done. I agree that It must be horrible for those who seem to take years to lose, when they read stories about the weight dropping off others at a fast rate. Look at your diet, see if there can be tweeks here and there and exercise more. In fact try exercising whilst still carrying those bags! Changing habits for a lifetime isn't easy but it will be worth it.
Hugs and best wishes, keep us posted on how you are doing

i am sorry for your frustration, i hope you figure out a way to make it all work for you!
i have been in classes before with band to sleeve conversions and they have had the same issues.
just be patient, how is your body feeling? more energy? sleeping better? small successes are the best in my life!
good luck!

What is your diet like? Are you eating mainly Protein and veggies? How many calories a day are you getting? Are you exercising? From what I've seen there is various degrees of success based on diet and exercise routines. You are not a failure! Just take a close look at your routine and make some changes to spark the weight loss.

My co-worker had to go on the liquid diet two weeks prior to her sleeve and was miserable for the first two days. By day three though, she was golden. Hang in there!

Y'all. I am starting this low carb diet today... been on it a total of what, 4 hours? I'm ready to call the *waaaaaahmbulance*
All joking aside, I feel like CRAP! Whenever I low carb, I always feel like I've been run over the first few days until ketosis kicks in - this is why I never low carb. LOL!
I have no idea why I'm posting, other than to be a titty baby & whine a little. LOL

I am here right now. Dealing with food, and my emotional attachment to it? I never once thought there were as deep seeded issues. Now that I am banded? It's like I am fighting myself .. rebelling against the band. I want it to stop.
