I’ve stabilized. Neither losing or gaining

Hi, It has been a year since my sleeve and I feel like such a failure. I’ve only lost approx 40lbs since surgery. Will the liquid phase I’ve lost 80-90 lbs. While some might be happy, I have a LOT to lose. HW 430 lbs, S.W. 365lbs, current 320lbs and it’s remained there for 4-5 months. I’m so disappointed in myself and feel like I’ve failed. I have the option to get a revision from sleeve to bypass... has anyone done this? Is it worth it? I’m just worried I still won’t lose ? Thoughts?

Should I be concerned? It’s about 6-7 months out and I’m only down about 60lbs?

I had a bit of a taco salad....so apparently taco seasoning is our commonality......that being said today I had two M&M and triggered it again....FML...so apparently tacos are out for a while and sweets are a no!

Omg I just had my first experience with dumping....its horrible....I truly feel your pain

I drink about 8-10 cups of water a day. I eat and focus on protein. Typical day: breakfast of either 1 c. cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Lunch of some sort of protein like tuna, chicken ( no more than 2 oz), or cottage cheese. Dinner again is protein in the form of meat and maybe some veg if I have room. Snacks, maybe some fruit, had watermelon the other day. I'm also not that active right now as it's 30-34 degrees C out. I'm not used to this heat and worried about dehydration.

Hi Folks, I was wondering if someone could share some insight..... I'm 4 weeks post op and right in the middle of the "3 week stall". I was super full after any and all liquids. Now I'm am eating food and even thought I find I mainly eat protein I'm starving. I can only eat maybe 2oz of protein at a time but then about 1hr later I'm starving, my stomach is talking, it's empty. Any ideas as to what is going on and how to deal with this? Terrified I'm eating to much or stretching my sleeve.

Ok, perhaps I'm losing my mind. I was sleeved June 30th and I have been decidedly cooler since I woke up. I actually get cold! I don't think I've been cold in years. Here in town we are seeing temperatures of 30c. I'm cold in the air conditioning. What the heck?! Has this happened to others? So weird.

That was supposed to be June 30th. Lol

How's everyone doing? Just got home today. Had a few bleeding issues. What are you eating? They moved me onto full fluids right away....just struggling to find things I can tolerate.

Tomorrow is the day! How is everyone doing who had surgery?

Omg woman! You are an inspiration 200+ lbs! Wow. I am in awe.

I have the exact same fear! I don't want tubes!☹️??

No insulin, apparently it can cause weight gain so I'm on quite a mix of meds. Have gained weight though so worried though.

My diabetic nurse is Nareen (I think) dietician is Amanda. She's been great after my blood surgeon thing but wasn't before. RN was Nikki too and I'm with Stephanie now I think. My sugars are around 8-9 now and I'm learning how to test them. everyone is also following my "eyes" so to speak quite closely. Thankfully I work with EMS so I'm covered ...lol...
