Band revised to sleeve revised to bypass! Please help
I hit my one year next month and I am planning to do a sleeve to bypass revision because the sleeve did not work as well for my weightloss. I also had a significant loss and gain back before that the surgeon thinks has hindered my relose and that the sleeve didn't help me enough. What makes it so frustrating is I've been doing everything by the book and really exercising and have a physical job. :/

Why Oh Why Can't I Lose Weight!
I am not even a year out and have only been able to lose 1-2lbs a month for the last 8 months. However in lost and regaid120lbs and the doctors believe the sleeve didn't do enough and are suggesting I go in for a revision to the full gastric once I hit my year mark, which I plan to do seeing as I have a minimum of 67lbs to lose..

Stall? Or am I doing something wrong?

Fear of not losing enough weight
I had mine right at 10 weeks ago today, and I constantly have that fear. I've seen friends who were successful at it and some who weren't. I just try to keep a clear mind about it. I lost 120lbs on my own years ago (in 2011) but gained it all but 5lbs back. It taught me a lesson!!

What are you eating 8 weeks out?
I'm 9 weeks and can tolerate anything. I try to stay at 800 calories and at least 65g of protein.

Hungry?
Try Prilosec or Pepcid. I was put on one after my endoscopy.
-
Do you work for your weight loss or do the pounds just fall off?
The first week or so yes, but since then it's a steady drop. I'm about 80/20 with my food and exercising a few days. Seems with more exercise I get a gain though.
-
Did I stretch? (venting, mostly)
I'm having this problem myself lately and going to do the 5 day pouch test to try and get myself back straight!

How long before you can go back to work after VSG?
I went back after about ten days, and I was okay. I have a job where I stand all day too.
-
What are your daily numbers?
I'm two months out and my nutritionist told me at my 3 week appointment that I need to get around 800 calories a day. I average between 45-80g of protein a day as well. I'm at the point where I am able to tolerate most foods.

Stalled after the first week?
The same thing happened to me. After one week I stalled for two, then it broke. I also got my TOM two days after surgery.

2Nd Week And Already In A Stall...wtf!
My second and third week of surgery I was in a stall but two weeks to the day, it broke (Thanksgiving Day). I was paranoid about it until I found out it was normal for it to happen.
