My name is Jessica, I actually just stumbled onto BariatricPal by asking the question on google that I had the sleeve and am not loosing weight. I had the Gastric sleeve in April of 2013, I was loosing weight slowly, which was ok as long as I was loosing. By October I had went from 225 to 187. Ever since I have been stuck. I am getting really depressed and feeling like I am failing at this now along with failing all of the diets. I have actually gained weight I am back to 194. I am really depressed, and not feeling good about myself again. I dont like this. I had the surgery to correct this, and now I am gaining what the heck! This is my daily routine, I wake up take my medications, run out the door with my Protein shake (My problem is I dont drink this every day) Lunch at work is a salad every day for the last 3-4 weeks. I always make sure that it has protein in it, chicken or eggs. I drink nothing but water. Ever since I had my surgery I think I have become Lactose Intolerant. When I make my protein shakes with milk it almost doubles me over in pain and I get severe Diarhea. But I have also been very Constipated since the surgery. I have actually been Hospitalized for the constipation. Any way my snacks through the day mostly include Apples, Peanut butter, and maybe a handful of pretzels, cheese sticks, and Yogurt when I have time. I work in a very busy Doctors office. And nuts I love nuts. I am not good at going home and eating dinner. Usually I eat lunch and am lucky to eat dinner when I get home. Beef Makes me sick now I can't eat it, I know my problem is that i probably dont get enough protein, and other stuff but I need help from someone that has been in my shoes. I have been working out at the Gym for at least 1 hour per day 3-5 times per week. for the last 2 months. I though this will really help. I havn't lost any weight, and I havn't lost any Inches. I am getting very depressed. I have a serious amount of stress at home right now. IDK if this has something to do with it also? I would be asking my Doctor about this but I had only had 2 follow up apt's with her, and my insurance changed and now she don't take it, so I havn't seen her in about 6 months or more. I know people say this is just a rut you will be ok, but i feel i should have lost more than I have. I need Help, someone please advise.
