I had my gastric sleeve surgery in October of 2013...it's gonna be 2 yrs....I can't seem to lose any weight...In fact I've gained 4lbs!! I eat 1200 calorie diet...and I'm still hungry, but I don't eat more than 1200. I started at 240lb...went down to 204lb...now I'm 208lb....someone help. ..what am I doing wrong. ..

We are all sill trying to figure it out. A few things I have come to accept:

1. Protein shake for Breakfast starts me off with Protein and its easy.

2. Processed foods are not better ever (yes I still eat them but sparingly)

3. lunch for me is cottage cheese or tuna and avocado

4. I use myFitness Pal... I track even when I cheat!

5. Protein and Water 1st.

6. My biggest struggle is exercise

Don't give up! You got this!!

Get your thyroid checked out. On 1200 most ppl would lose weight even slowly unless very very short.

Thank you all....I have lost 1lb in 1 week eating only 1200 calories, exercise 4days out of the week & a few days not eating back my calories....ugh so frustrating doing all this and loosing only 1lb...I guess it's better than gaining. ..I will check into my thyroid. ..ty!

The dietitian in my surgeon's office told me that I should be eating no more than 800 calories per day and that I need to be doing cardio 5 days per week. Have you discussed with your doc what amount of calories and exercise you should be doing?

Yes, the dietician told me 1000-1200 calories.

Also. Water swings might be your problem. You lose a lot of water at first, then you start losing more fat and gain water so your weight equals out, but stick to it! It is a reoccurring theme, but You got this!
