  1. Hello my name is Andrew and I am 28 years old. I had a Gastric Sleeve surgery about a year in a half ago at a time when I really needed it. I was about 420 pounds and was having numerous health problems (sleep apnea, breathing, mobility issues, exc). My journey is far from complete and I am starting to have doubts. Right now I have lost about 110 pounds total from when I started the process and am having some issues with food. Essentially my weight has been pretty steady for quite sometime (6 months) at the 315 range (although I am in a bit of a down turn at 303). I think I got as low as 280 but know I gained some of it back. On the one hand I am happy with my success so far but on the other hand I thought I would lose more by now. Most of my weight loss had been early (I was 360 the day post surgery) and I have reverted back to bad food choices (bread and fried are real achillies heal for me). Still the last time I talked to my doctor (it had been awhile however) she told not to get upset about the lack of weight loss, saying my body needs to adjust from the rapid weight loss from before. Still I know with some things I can be doing better. I only now started trying to get into a exercise routine and am trying to reign in some of my bad food choices (I am always on the go so it is kind of difficult). As said before for the first time in a while I am on a down slope with my weight, but still feel I am doing badly. On the up side I can tell that I didn't hurt myself by gaining some of the weight back (no pain in stomach and bm are good, still no hunger pains). My main problem however is Protein. I am a very picky eater and my nutritionist did not fill me with confidence. Because of that at times I am either on a Protein shake or bar which this late my Dr. was very much against. I am in the process of getting back on track but still not sure how to quiet yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
