I am so sorry for you. Changed your life for 40 pounds. Why don't you ask your Dr for an appetite suppressant. If your surgeon won't do it, look up a bariatric physician. You can go to ASBP and get names

Just wondering if you have tried to go back to first phase of surgery eating. Try doing protein shakes 2times a day and then a sensible dinner. Always remember protein first then veggies and carbs. Eat like every 3 hours to stop the hunger. I know if you eat fiber to, it keeps you full longer. Good luck keep us up to date. Oh yeah drink lots of water to help flush out the fat and to keep you hydrated. One more thing lol, are you mistaken hunger for thirst? Try drinking fluids and then if you still feel hungry eat some protein. Hope I helped in someway if possible.

What do you eat on a typical day?

You need to get back on track....the sleeve won't do all the work. I'm willing to bet you are not exercising, and you aren't eating what you should be. You did this to change your life....and you aren't using the tool. There are so many people out there that can't get this surgery and would do anything to get it....work your tool girl. Hopefully when you get on these pills you will use then and there to start all over...pick yourself up and get moving! ((Hugs))

Man that's tough.... I'd be upset too for a 40ib loss... But def go back to the first stages after surgery... U might have stretched your sleeve so u can eat more than you should ..

So sorry you have had this experience. You will not be happier until you find a solution. I would try a new surgeon and see if his Team could help you have better success because the current set up has not worked. I think step number one is finding what you are doing wrong and working on those issues one by one.

That sounds terrible but keep it in perspective - it could be a LOT worse than 15 pounds. What matters is you are catching it, and your are not going to gain any more. Even if you need to just focus on maintaining the 230 pounds before you dive into a calorie deficit again you are on the right track. Sometimes you just need a break, just make sure you STOP gaining.

Thanks 4 all the support I will see if I could maybe find another surgeon and a nutritionist I'll try drinking more fluids and Protein shakes maybe walk a little more and hope not 2 be in pain do 2 my fibromyalgia it makes it difficult 4 me 2 exercise :-( but I will stay motivated and try thank u again.

For some, DS may be a better option. Has your surgeon talked to you about that at all?

Maybe more Protein Shakes isn't the answer? If you are not having any trouble eating you probably don't need those anymore. Sometimes drinking our calories is bad news, no matter what it is. More lean protein might be the key.

I just want 2 get rid of the hunger :-(

yeah, are you having real physical hunger or is it a head thing that you want to eat? Because if you are physically hungry the more dense things you have the better off you will be.
