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.

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.

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.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
