I was told from my doctor that revision sleevers lose slower but not less than virgin sleevers...trust me I understand I didn't even tell anyone because I was so afraid I wouldn't lose any weight...

Is that true? I pray that isn't the case for me. I have to do well with this. It's my second time around and thus weight has got to go NOW!

@ "bajanqueen70" thanks I needed to read that advice post right at this very moment. I have a love hate relationship for my sleeve right now. I ate too many slider foods didn't get full and kept eating and what do you know. I'm feeling miserable. I feel hungry all the time. I really need to get it together smh.

You are very welcome Mochax! Trust me...it works! Also eat smaller meals every 2-3 hours (2 or 3oz) that are Protein rich (like eggs, tuna, Protein Shakes etc) and you will find that they will really keep you satisfied...much success to you! Don't get discouraged...

Word of advice from a veteran sleever who fell off of the wagon since surgery almost two years ago...protein, Protein, protein and lots of water! I've been re-energized by doing this and feel like my sleeve is working for me again...I've cut down on carbs tremendously (most come from fruits), and I've focused on staying hydrated. For new sleevers, don't ever get discouraged! Follow your surgeon and nutritionist's instructions and the pounds will melt off. As you progress, stay away from slider foods (my downfall) and focus on protein first; it will keep you fuller longer. I haven't hit onederland yet, but I sure am looking forward to getting there. Just 21 pounds to go! Stay focused all! Keep your eyes on the prize and remember why you did all this! Good luck!

your almost there ! Thank you for those words of encouragement

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
