I was sleeved in January 2014 . Did good the first year. Pit about 20# back on the second Yearand can't seem to get it off. Holding steady this year...just 20# I can't budge. My plan is to get back to mostly protein and walking. Cut out the slider foods that are so easy to consume. So what is your plan to drop the weight that's crept back ?

IrishGermanRN Thanks for the encouragement. When was your surgery date? What are your statistics?

I'm 5'6" surgury weight 220# on 1-3-13 My lowest weight was by 8-1-13 at 148# Steady by 1-1-14 at 150-155# Gaining during 2015 up to 170# as of today 11-2015. Bad food choices.little exercise...not enough water. Can't seem to get back on track. Feeling worthless...and such a failure. I know the process worked...I failed myself.

Can't lose this last 20#. I was sleeved on January 2014. At 225# Today at 1yr and 9 months.. I hold at 162-165.# for the past 9 months. I'm 5'6" tall and Will be 62 yrs in February 2016. I still have trouble digesting solid foods and go for soups and softer foods. Does anyone else have trouble with solids even after a year or Two?

Don't see any recent 2015 posts. I was sleeved on 1-3-2014. From 225# to 149# my first year but sadly back to 163# at 19th month. Need some advice. Metabolism is so slow even though I eat very little ...I'm not losing. Want to get to 140# I'm 61 yrs

I don't agree that you are expected to drop an exact amount in a specific time...that is just asking for stress. You work the plan..stay away.from slider foods..and you will be fine. Relax and enjoy your successes !!

I was.sleeved 1/4/14 lost 20# The first month and about 7# the second month. Now into week 12 I'm down a total of 40# . Stop stressing about the scale. You will have stalls and slow weeks...your body needs time to adjust to your losses. Just do what your supposed to be doing. And keep away from the slidder foods. Your doing great!

I'm on my 12th wk and still can't take more than 3 or 4 bites of anything with substance. Like chili or tuna etc. So i stay with protein shakes and prueed foods. Anyone having trouble with solids. I get about 800 cals a day. Have lost 40 pounds in these 12 wks. Getting enough water in is a problem. Hope your all doing well. Thanks for listening!

There are so many "sweet tasting" protein bars out there. Also sugar free sweets. They might help you with your cravings.

I think there is a wls dating site..not sure the name...someone might have run across it and share. I think that would be a good dating partner...both would understand the trials we go through ... and also not be so self concious.

I only use a teaspoon amount of coconut oil...can't handle a tablespoon without gagging.

Have you heard of oil pulling? Google it. You will be amazed with the benefits.

When i wait to long to eat...i am also guilty of bites too big or to many bites not well chewed and to taken to fast. I am only into my 12th week and its a learning curve...but well worth it. Trying to learn to take a bite or two every couple of hours helps. But i still can't sit for 30 to 40 minutes and make a " meal" last...i don't have am attention span that long! LOL.

My sleeve was done 1/4/14 down 40# at week 11. From sz.18 to 14 my goal is size 10 bmi 22.0 i live in eldon Mo.

Congratulating you on you awesome accomplishment . Don't forget that even when you stall...you will be losing inches. !!

Your funny. We can hold more liguids ... as they tend to go right through us...its the solids and pureed foods thay will get you if you don't take time between bites and chew very well before swallowing.

Don't slip into old habits. Drink your water and get your proteins in even when your not thirsty or hungery.

I am 60 years old and 5'6" tall. Surgery weight at 220# on 1/4/14. By February weighed in at 198# ...today march 15th i am 10 weeks post op at weight 180# my goal is 140# or a Bmi that is in "normal" range.

I take an acid reducer daily. Our tummy are too small for the acid it produces. Ask your doctor for suggestions on what to take how much and how often.

Try to relax. Your body is working hard to adjust itself to thr new tummy. Just forget the scale snd just take your measurements. Concentrate on getting your water and proteins in for each day.

I had the same worry with one if mine..like a hole..but not deep. I was directed by my doctor to use. antibacterial spray..keep it loosly covered and it will heal. It did. Just shiw your doctor and follow directions.
