Hey everyone... I am Vanessa and I was sleeved in may 2012. The sleeve was something I completed knew I wanted. Had hard time getting approval from the insurance.. went through different doctors..and depression because of all this. When I finally got word I was approved, I was ecstatic. Followed pre-open diet and post op diet up until two months out. These last too months...I have been neglecting myself and my sleeve and I need to get back on track but need advice on where to start. I have only lost a total of 35 pounds and definitely am not on track. :-(

Any tips, advice, anything would help.

Thanks. .

Try to stay focused. Get back to eating right and exercising. So you got off track it happens. Get back on and stay strong. It's not going to be easy but you have to keep trying. Good luck and remember we're here for you!

Thanks. I'm gonna try to stay more involved with the website because I find seeing other people suceeding and going through the same this I am, helps motivate me...

Tomorrow will be day 1....time to start over and do this.

Hi Vanesa, you are not along. I also had surgery in may 2012 and i have lost 25 lbs since May 17. As you i dont know why i am not losing weight. i started with a low BMI of 36. i am in stall for 2 months. I also had the lapband for a year, only lost 10 lbs for the entire year. i had the revision from lapband to the sleeve. sometime i just believe that my pouch it is not that small like other people. i am always hungry. i could eat more than 8oz of food if i like to.. i am trying to stay focus but i dont understant why i am not losing the weight. my hudband is always making fun of me because i still fat. he think this surgery is another failure????. i was expecting to lose weight faster since i did not lose any weight with the lapband. i just fill that my stomach is botton less..

I am sure a veteran will be along shortly and can give you some advice. I just wanted to offer each of you a hug as I am sure this must be

incredibly frustrating. One thing that maybe helpful to others is if you provide a list of your daily intake of food and liquids. Are you using my fitness pal or a similar site to track? Are you taking your measurements?? any difference in your clothes?

I also had mine done in May 2012 and often feel frustration with the weight coming off so slowly. I just keep telling myself that while it is going slow, I am still seeing results. This was still the best thing I ever did for myself. I feel so much better, sleep better, have a ton of energy, I am down 70 and half way to my goal. I guess my advice to you is to get back on track, do the things you are supposed to do to be healthy and take care of yourself, and it will happen. The weight will come off. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
