Sleeved Twice??

Sleeved Twice??
You responded to Drop, but didn't say anything about this part. ..

Sleeved Twice??
So you have already gone straight to discussing being resleeved instead of getting couselling to found out what happened to put you in a position that has you needing to be resleeved? no judgment just trying to figure out the thinking, get re sleeved what will stop you doing the exact same thing again without solving what caused you to do it? I cant see you geting a total gastrectomy to resolve the problem.. What are you eating at the moment daily including calories? You have obvc done well and can do so again if you get your focus back instead of looking for another surgery as a way out. There is no way out , our minds can always win no matter how many surgerys we have if we are not in the right place, youve done amazing you can do amazing again but believe in yourself not another surgery to fix this.

Vitamin Gummies
I dont know anything about the effect on weightloss but my team says all the gummys i sent them to check if it has enough of everything i need said no, not enough of what i need it in so unnecessary carbs yet doesnt do the trick, i know other people take gummies but i gues we are more strict in the hosp team i am under. I am allowed centrums chewable vits at a minimum if i insist on a sweet one.

When do you stop losing?
I only giggled because you seemed so direct and obvious, your right lol but sometimes stalls happen for no reason and then suddenly start things up again with not much change lol but think we need more info from the op on her eating habits if anything has changed her weight to start and now etc.

1000 calories per day...HOW?????
'Pouch' reset is for bypass patients we have a sleeve. It's not needed to get Back on track but some people have developed really bad eating habit so the detox from food to start a fresh may help them mentally but there is certainly no need for everyone to do it. Focusing on protein first can get anyone in track and sticking to non starchy veg and protein sometimes I eat my proteins alone. Non starchy a few hours later for an extra boost and feeling Fuller for longer

1000 calories per day...HOW?????
If someone is eating carbs heavy and bad food ( not this persons husband generally) then going back to protein first and non starchy veg and measure food. I've heard people 5 years out still teel restriction with protein.

Having a sleeve in hospital is hard.
i asked about that they dont have a fridge in the day room anyway lol i am in the ghetoest part of the hospital if that is a word, but they said they dont want me to eat food from outside something about contamination? they said they dont want me to end up getting something from food from outside that is not monitered or something what they said didnt even make any sense. because a lady brought me stuff from the ward i was on before so i dont see how thats not contamination? i coulnt eat it anyway , my guest who visit me have to wear gloves as they dont want me to catch anything to make me more unwell as they are trying to get me fit for this chonolocopy and other stuff. i can tell you if anyone came in here fat they wont even need surgery haha you wil leave here skinny because i have tried to order different things on the menue it sometimes looks like vomit. i sneaked of the ward when i wasnt so bad about 3 days ago but the head nurse brought me back as they saw me on cctv lol i cant even get outside for fresh air lol its like prison i tell you i look forward to the most grossest runniest scrambled egg in the morning as i cant eat toast which is what they usually offer so i should be greatful lol thank you so much for the suggestion though its a good one as i know other people not in side rooms are allowed all kinds of nice food to be brought in! lucky people lol

Might need another surgery.
Hi everyone thank you so much for your kindness i had no idea this post was still alive honestly your all so kind, i am unfortunately still in hospital its lonely in here now im in a side room on my own so i just look out the window. i am in alot of pain, so on slow release morphine, 10mls liquid morphine, IV pain killers 2 types, zopiclone to help me sleep through the pain. and some other stuff. I cant keep up with whats going through these drips, im quite dehydrated my veins keep tisuing ive had alot of fluid through iv but trying to drink but its making it hard for them to find my veins, still unable to have a cholonoscopy done yet as they sai it will make things worse for me right now as my bowels are still severely inflamed but they are trying to make me as comfertable as possible. I can say i have never been more forgetful, because i know i have seen a hell of alot of consultants and doctors, but i dont feel any closer to an answer because it seems until i get abit better they can not do much in ways of treatement. they dont want to give me steriods yet as it will make me quite unwell they said its all abit confusing. ive asked for alittle break between meds so i can hold onto my senses for a minute but i am quite sore at the moment, who would have thought id still be here?? I sit here staring at the clock between 9pm-11pm is sleeping tablet time lol depends were they start. Its almost funny that i my surgery to help my health but then this thing thats wrong with me now could not have been stopped by the surgery and neither could it have been found as it wasnt there then its one of those unfortunate things. without the meds im crying in pain i wish i didnt need it, my job is to try and drink as much as i can, the staff keep trying to ask me to eat and watching my food i said look at me guys im obese lol if i could eat i would i love food!! lol my friends who visit me are even checking on me to check ive eaten and drinking its like i have swapped worlds lol. i wish i could give you an actual update that makes any sense, but im so in limbo. thank you so much everyone for your kindness. to be honest ive had symptoms of being unwell for alittle while now but i just thought they were sleeve related , ive let myself down really, all my posts like " ive lost my apetite" "ive been having chills" tummy aches all symptoms to whats wrong but i had no idea. its so horrible being here its like my life has stopped. yet my life outside is still continuing so im stressed with everything i need to be doing. and when i am eventually allowed home that wont be the end of it. aswell as the treatment im having here il have to continue when i go home, but this probblem isnt caused by being over weight i didnt see this coming.:( thank you all

Advice needed
My plan was detailed enough for me. Mine never said how many ounces to have or exactly what food. Just said balanced really. Never mentioned any particular brand of anything as they are not endorsed.

Advice needed
Lol how's it incorrect? I've heard people say they were given no plan. Are they lying lol. Just because you have been doesn't mean all have. And I've also heard people say they to abroad and had communication barriers. No need to say what I'm saying is incorrect because its not the case for you. Its what I've heard people say here. And other places. But they must be lying seen as it wasn't the case for you lol. What you mean is ..that was not the case for you. Which is fair enough. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen how others have described.
