I had a band to sleeve revision on 4/22 @ 245 lbs. 5 months later, I'm 218...only 27 lbs. I saw my surgeon yesterday and HE was pleased!

I haven't tried the plateau buster diet yet but I need to find it

I average 800-900 calories, 100 oz fluid, 80 gm protein and 30-60 mins/4 days of exercise. Vit D is the only lab that was off...

I had the band to sleeve revision and wish my doctor had advised me otherwise! I had surgery 4/22 and have only lost 20 pounds. To me, this is beyond being a slow loser. I'm so disappointed with MY sleeve and wish I had bypass...oh well, life goes on.

I'm still at it. I have had several people comment on my weight loss. I can definitely tell a difference in my scrubs so...I'm losing something! Lol

Looks like I'm the slowest loser! Surgery 4/22 sw: 245 cw: 224! Have been stalled for 6 weeks and busting butt following all the rules...

For exercise, I walk at least 2 miles 5 days/week. 3 times a week I add hip hop abs, rocking body or WII games and this week I've started weight training x 2 days...

Thanks for all the encouraging words, I'm working on a plan...lol. For the record, I have lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks (no surgery/diet&exercise)

I lost 15 lbs in the first 2 weeks and then stalled, its very depressing. My nut suggested increasing my calories due to my workouts. I think I'm gonna do only shakes for a few days for a jump start!

I avg 60-80 gm of protein

9 weeks postop and only 20 lbs down! I get in 1000 calories, avg 30 gms of carbs, more thsn 64 oz of water and exercise 45-90 mins/day 4-5 days a week! I think my body has compensated for the changes and this is it....

Sleeved 4/22. Down 18 lbs...stalled since week 2 :'(

I was a band to sleeve revision on 4/22. I have only lost 15 lbs including the 5 preop. Starting weight 245 size 18w....on pain meds for approx 1 week. I've been stalled for 2 weeks which is depressing and sending me into bad habits. I know a lot of people stall but Lawd have mercy, I "ain't got time for that"! I starting to think my Dr removed the band and forgot the sleeve...

I was sleeved 4/22 and only lost 15 lbs. Have been stalled for almost 2 weeks. Curious to know what was everyone's starting weight? I had my lap band removed and was sleeved the same day. I'm starting to think my doc just removed the band

My doctor prescribed plavix for a month, it prevents blood clots. While I was hospitalized, I received lovenox preop and then every 12 hrs for the same. Its important to do foot pumps/ move your legs around and not cross your legs/ankles to help prevent clots as well.

I have heard that biotin helps with hair loss but my nutritionist swears the hair loss is due from lack of Protein

Day 4, I was advanced to full liquids and V8/tomatoe soup is allowed

Are you keeping a log of your intake? Myfitnesspal is great. It breaks down everything into percentage carbs, Protein, fats, etc. It may be that you're not eating or drinking enough...

My doctor advised me to take at least 2 weeks. I think you will need more than 3 days to adjust...pain meds+liquids only=fatigue! I was able to do more today with pain meds only once @ 5 days postop. The only pain I have is left shoulder.

I'm preparing for aerobics/walking, any suggestions for shoes?

4/22 here! 4days postop...starting full liquids. ...

Looking for buddy!

I had my revision 4/22. I've heard that weight loss after revision is much slower. Curious to know what others progress has been...
