Thanks for the advice. It sounds like you just eventually have to make the right choices and cannot rely on just your sleeve alone. I knew this going in. I just needed reminding I am not alone.

To iegal....the original post was about other people's experience with Dr. Aceves. If you didnt have your surgery with Dr. Aceves, you honestly cannot contribute feedback whether it be good or bad. You had your reasons for choosing your surgeon and we had ours.

Lol!! Ummm.... I think she is trying to say,
(I) Went out(, now I'm) in trouble(. There was) no cheating (, but) he is still mad ( at me.) ( I think it might be) time to buy sex toys (.)

Sounds like he enjoyed having someone being dependent on him emotionally, so that she wouldn't really care that he is taking advantage of you financially. What he is doing I wouldn't call love at all. If something doesn't feel right to you, then I would go with your gut instinct on this one. Especially if you don't believe that you even love him anymore. My husband used to sabotage my diets all of the time. He would order pizza, bring home fast food, ice cream, candy, every time I would try to start a new diet. I finally had a sit down with him and asked him if there was some reason why he would do these things when he knew I was trying to get healthier. He had to recognize it in himself that he was worried that if I lost weight that other men might start being interested in me, and then I would leave him. Once we had that talk he got on board, and changed his ways. He even started helping me with my exercise.
I would try having a talk with him over it, give him the benifit

Any kind of weight loss surgery is a tool. You cannot rely on the surgery alone. I know several bypass patients that have gained all the weight they lost plus some. I had the sleeve almost two years ago and I still struggle to make the right choices. I started this journey at a size 24 and am holding at a size 10. I can definitely eat more now than fresh out of surgery, but I keep my calorie intake down, as my hunger is mostly head and boredom. It is a daily struggle, but I did not have the surgery just to lose weight for a little while. You have to change your lifestyle habits in order to be successful at any weight loss surgery. It is a tool not a miracle worker. Good luck.

I'm scheduled with Dr. Alvarez for August 1st. I'm sure I'll be posting all the details, good and bad. I'm a Nurse, so I'm sure I'll be critiquing everything. I searched and searched, and couldn't find one negative post about him, his staff or the hospital,

Dr. Aceves did my surgery a year and a half ago. Great experience. No problems. Down from a size 24 to a size 10.

I started this journey at a size 24 and now I am a size 10. But yes I can eat more now than I did when I was fresh out of surgery. My doc warned me it WOULD happen as in all sleevers. I am holding steady but its a struggle. Its worse when I am bored. But I would have this surgery all over again. The sleeve is not a miracle. Its a tool and should be used that way. You have to contribute in order to achieve results.

You know what's funny. I went from a size 24 to a size 8/10 and I get more attention and more date requests, but I have no desire to date and be in a relationship. I know my life has changed in a lot of ways, but I wasn't expecting this at all. Maybe it will change and maybe it won't. But right now I am completely satisfied and happy which is all that matters.

I don't know how far out you are, but you will be able to eat more the further out you get from surgery. I am still able to maintain my size 8/10, but it takes work to keep my intake at a minimum. There are a lot of days that I want and could eat more but I don't.

Dr. Aceves is who I used. I paid a little bit more but it was worth the peace of mind. I did my research on him and all was good. I am 5 pounds away from my goal and it hasnt even been a year. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Good luck to you.

I love Pickle Juice. I have been drinking it since I was a little girl. Here lately I have started drinking it more. I am a year and a half out since surgery. I drink it straight out of the jar.

DonDddddddxdDon't get discouraged. You will lose more. You just need to shock your body by doing just the opposite it is used to. If you eat more carbs, cut the carbs and increase Protein. If you eat more protein, cut the protein and eat more carbs -but only good carbs. No junk and cut all sugar. Drink only water!!! I cannot stress that enough. You should break the stall.

Bless you for posting this! I am so frustrated I could just scream. Sleeved on Feb 20th, lost 30 pounds practically overnight and haven't lost a pound in 20 something days as well. I am getting my ass kicked in boot camp several times a week plus going to the gym on alternating days and I am back to the liquid diet. Haven't touched sugar or alcohol since my surgery and the shakes I prepare do have some carbs but not a lot. It saddens me to think that this is as good as I'm gonna get :-(

Best decision I ever made. I am 5'7 and sleeved on 10-7-2011 and started out a size 24 and am now a size 10 and maintaining.
