Thank you so much everyone!! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I have gained 25 pounds back. I got my surgery July 2015. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I feel like a failure. I was doing terrific for the longest time. I didn't go back to the surgeon for my yearly surgery anniversary because I'm ashamed. I'm hungry all the time and craving sweets like mad. Worse than even before I had the surgery. I'm not eating right. I have lost that "restricting feeling" when I eat. I also lost "feeling nauseated" when I eat touch sugar. I don't know what to do. My current weight is 260. My goal is 150.

This is very, very, VERY hard for me to write. Please, before anyone responds, I don't need any harsh criticism, I just need support. I was sleeved July 31st, 2015. Up to date, I have lost 60 pounds. Yes, I am way behind in my weight loss. I've gotten off the path and have started eating bad food again. The sugary things were making me sick before, they aren't now....why? I just don't understand it, I know people that have gotten the sleeve, have "gotten away" with eating sweets when they wanted, and have lost 100 pounds by now. I'm not saying I expect to go back to bad habits and the weight still come off, just wondering why it's different for me? I thought certain foods would still make me feel sick. I want to get back on track. Just need some suggestions on how to. And has anyone ever heard of going from sleeve to bypass? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

@@perpetualwanderlust how many carbs/calories do you have per day?

Congratulations! What's your secret?

What type of multivitamin do you use? I was looking for something that tastes decent

Thank you everyone! Do you remember how many daily calories you were at at 5 to 6 weeks out?

Hello. I'm on solids now 5 weeks out. What were/are you eating for lunch? Could use some ideas to pack my lunch. Thank you

I'm sorry to hear about your family situation. I'm having trouble getting protein in, but my surgeon recommended no more protein shakes. He said to add protein powders to foods, which I am researching powders now. I'd just try to drink what you can get down comfortably.

@@MarceMonster thank you! My surgeon said I can start a regular diet, they didn't give me a list for that. They just said focus on protein and low carbs. Where did you get carb quick pancakes?

Hello. My surgeon said it was ok to add some whey protein/powders to my foods. I'm still not getting enough protein in. He doesn't want me on protein shakes anymore, but said adding some powder is fine. Does anyone have recommendations on protein powders or flavors?? Where is the best place to get them??

Thank you all so much for the suggestions!! I appreciate it. I'm just tired of eggs every day. I just wanted some variety, so thank you again :-)

Hello. I am a month out today. I was wondering if some of you could give me more suggestions on what to eat for breakfast other than scrambled eggs and protein shakes.

Dawn I'm sorry to hear this. Sending you hugs and prayers

Great job!

@OutsideMatchInside...Not looking for a particular answer, just support.

I've actually heard the opposite about maintainance. To the folks I've spoken too, they said the initial loss was harder, but maintaining is easier now because of weighing less.

I do exercise. I'm not making any excuses or trying to get out of it. I was just wondering the difference. An acquaintance of mine, 9 months out lost 100 pounds. No exercise whatsoever. She had the bypass. Anyway, I also am looking forward to be able to hike and things like run 5k's.

Congratulations Justin!! You are such an inspiration!! And you look amazing!

@@my_new_lifetime yes, very much better. Thank you :-)

That is something that I already know. And being at the beginning of this journey is not something that I prefer to hear. I'll go back to the other thread that says: you can do it, you're doing a great job. But thanks anyway

@@mini me that is a no brainer that maintaining is harder. My question was, what is the difference between the two.

Hi all. So I've spoken with 3 people I know that have had gastric bypass and they said that they did not exercise at all and still lost weight. One of them lost 80 pounds in 10 months. Why do sleevers have to exercise to lose? What is the difference between the two? Not making excuses, just want to know why?

Thank you all

Hi. Just wondering if there is a time where weight loss will be a little faster? I'm down 20 pounds from July 27th (my surgery date). Is that good/bad? I've been exercising the best I can. I do videos at home, now that the humidity is gone, I'm going to start walking. Still getting days where I feel weak.
