Crybaby

I actually received the lap band in 2010. I lost and keep off 100 lbs for almost 4 years. I started getting very sick with the band and had to make a decision to remove it completely or remove and do another selective surgery. I decided to get sleeved. I went 9 months with no band and gained back almost 50lbs. I had my sleeve surgery in 2014, I lost the 50lbs that I had gained back but that was it. The past year has been a very stressful year, losing a family member and watching my 19 year old daughter make one awful mistake after another. I was placed on an anti-depressant and just started packing on the pounds. From October 2015 to October 2016 I have gained 30lbs. I am struggling and frustrated. I feel like everything I try just fails. I can use any advice/feedback that anybody has......Thank you!!!

NewMrsSmith....we are two of a kind!! we do everything the same from the exercise to boxing the food at the restaurant immediately. I have been struggling with Water intake so that is my main focus is drinking at least 64 oz a day!!! I am staying positive and only weighing in once a week. I will do this, thank you for your support.

What you are saying makes sense....with the band I couldn't eat anything without vomiting. I was either too tight or no restriction, I never really had the "sweet spot". My health started deteriorating and that's when I decided to do the revision. I love the sleeve but it really does force you to be accountable. With the sleeve I can eat almost anything but my portions are small and I do get full fast. I think my body is almost in shock because I went 4.5 years with no food lol. I feel healthier with the sleeve. Honestly I need to stay off the scale and only weight myself once a month.

Hi there. I'm doing this surgery soon. Was your starting weigh lower this time? Yes It was my weight was lower at the point of converting from the band to the sleeve.

Thank you New Mrs Smith. Do you mind me asking how much you lost with lap band?? Any tips you can give me on what your doing now to loss the weight!!!

Hello my fellow sleevers.......I am looking for someone out there that has converted from the Lap Band to the Sleeve, and is struggling losing weight. I was originally banded in 2010 and lost 100lbs before I started having complications. I made the decision to remove the band and have the sleeve done in December 2014. My surgery was a success and almost pain free; but since then I have not been as successful as I was with the lap band. I am wondering if anyone out there is having the same struggles??? Since surgery (6 months) I have only lost 45lbs and I constantly plateau. If anyone has any advice or feedback please chime in!!!!

I know I shouldnt calorie count but Im working out 5 to 6 days a week burning about 400 calories at the gym. I thought maybe that is why Im at a stall.....what do you think??

Thank you for this feedback.......I will up my calorie intake to 1100 and cross my fingers!!!

Im happy but a bit concerned Im stuck at a 30lb lose. The scale hasnt moved and Im worried that I am not eating enough calories......are you keeping track of your calorie intake at all???

Thank you and I will try not to cry when I step on the scale =)

Im eating around 900 calories a day but I burn about 400 at the gym. My energy level has been great and I am losing inches but the scale is not moving =(

I need to schedule an appointment with my nutritionist.

I utilize myfitnesspal I love that app. I am struggling with my Water intake. And thank you =)

I need help fellow sleevers......I had surgery on December 16th 2015. I have lost 30lbs and no more. I have religiously been working out 5 to 6 days a week, 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes strength training. Im getting my Protein but I am worried that I am not consuming enough calories. A friend thinks that I have put my body in starvation mode. Please help any input and advice is greatly appreciated.
