Hi All! I had my gastric sleeve surgery on May 29, 2015 and did pretty well for the first three months. I lost 40 lbs in that three months but I got lazy with my working out and I started consuming alcohol again and of course I wasn't sticking to the low carb, high protein diet. Needless to say, I stopped loosing and over time gained back some of those 40 lbs. Now I am in desperate need to loose the weight once and for all, but I am lacking motivation. I have heard about people having "Ah-ha" moments that lead him/her to finally committing and losing the weight. I haven't had mine and I wonder if I ever will. To tell you how unmotivated I actually am, I joined Weight Watchers online in June and haven't lost a single pound. What is wrong with me?! I can tell you one major problem... I consume beer way too much and too often. My food habits aren't great but they aren't horrible either. I joined WW because I absolutely cannot handle a low carb, high protein diet long. I get so grossed out by the meat and eggs and end up starving myself, so I went with something where I can consume carbs, fruit and pretty much anything in moderation. Well... if only I had the motivation to follow it. Are there any of you out there that are in my boat that we can maybe be buddies and do this together?

My experience was great! It's totally doable having outpatient procedure if you have someone to take care of you and you take you pain meds. Good luck!

What diet are you following?? I was told to follow a low carb diet.

Hi there! I was curious what forever diet you were told to follow after you got sleeved? I was told to basically follow Atkins after I got through the various stages after surgery.

I had my surgery on May 29 and have only lost 8 pounds. I thought I would have lost so much more by now. Anyone else feel this way?
