This is the first time I've posted. Been lurking for almost two years!! I had my sleeve 9/14 and have only lost about 25 pounds.

I know what has caused my failure but have no more insight now than the day of my surgery.

Where do I go from here?

That depends entirely on the reason you've identified for your failure, doesn't it?

There is lot of help and support available here, but we need a little more to go on here.

I don't think anything has changed other than my smaller portions. I still eat crap and drink alcohol. I have changed some habits undoubtedly but not enough for the change I was hoping for. I still want to lose 50 pounds.

well. the good news is tomorrow is a new day and you can choose to eat good Proteins, lay off the alcohol for a while and see what you can do. All depends on how much you want to loose that 50 pounds.

I wouldn't rate this as a failure, but a choice you've made. and your sleeve is right there waiting for you if you decide to make a change.

I decided to "work with" my sleeve after "not listening" to it for four years.

I went back to the first week of solid food stage and got back on track.

It can be done.

YOU can do it!!!

You have the opportunity to stand up, stand tall and be your own hero.

Soooo, get mov'n!!! :)

Prayers going up for you.

I would add that you probably need to go back to a Protein shake with 50 grams of Protein (2 portions and 12 oz. of liquid) every day. Skipping the shakes caused my weight loss to slow dramatically, so now they are mandatory for me.

When was the last time you talked to your NUT? It sounds like you may need to make an appointment.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
