i Am Due To Go To The Dr On Thursday

during Xmas I Could Not Eat Anything Without Pb And Vomiting

know It Is Better , Usually 1-2 Weeks After A Fill Is When I Feel The Difference. I Want To Hit My Sweet Spot Also. I Feel I Am Sabotaging My Progress.

i Stop Exercising And I Eat What I Want. I Wonder At Times Why Did I Pay For This And I Still Have To Eat A Certain Way. Too Many Calories , Not Enough Protein. Well I Guess I Will Make It

i Know I Have To Change Again. I Was Hoping Once I Hit My Seet Spot I Will Not Be Hungry Or Even Wanting To Eat. Help Young Bandster Out Of Control.

Wow I'm not alone. I currently have lost only 20LBS since my surgery May 25,2007. I'm very discouraged also. Since Octocber I have not been able to the way we should be able to. And very frustrated with foods also.I have ahd a total unfill now for 2 weeks and really afraid

of gaining weight back. I went to have to have the Barium swallow after the unfill and everything seems clear. My doctor seems has if my body is rejecting the band I have an appointment next week the 29th, But I with just 2.0 fill I wasn't able to eat only at night and certain things that are not good for you, except the Protein drinks.It's as though something I was drinking or eating was causing a blockage. My DR said no power drinks but I was doing Protein Shakes in the morning because your able to add fruit or whatever. I have not told him yet I was. And he states that can cause a blockage so I think I may be in trouble. Will let you know.I hope you are better WE CAN"T GIVE UP ! Sandra

Don't give up. Do something different to help you regain your focus. Lately I have been doing a food journal and it has really helped me make better choices. Are you getting enough support from your doc? You have undergone a serious lifestyle change and it's normal to backslide a bit. Take smaller steps to your goals (like getting through the day without between meal snacking or adding in a pleasurable activity like a craft to distract yourself from mindless eating, etc).

Good luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
