  1. So question for all you veterans, I'm 9 months out from surgery, at goal weight, feel amazing but I'm noticing some old habits starting to creep back up. In particular I'm having a lot of head hunger, cravings and urges to snack. How do you stop yourself from doing that! I need tips and tricks to stay on track!

    Discouraged 8mo

    Do you mind me asking, what is your caloric goal for a day? I eat very similar to what you described but I'm not sure if I'm eating too many or too few calories
  3. I average around 700-900 calories a day. I keep my carbs under 65 grams, protein between 65 and 100 and fats I try to keep as low as possible but don't worry as much about because it's hard to keep that low and protein high. I was sleeved exactly 5 months ago and I'm down 75lbs.

    band to sleeve

    I converted from band to sleeve 5 months ago. Best decision ever! I had a ton of pain from my band and scar tissue. That all went away almost instantly. The pain from surgery was pretty minimal and I was back to my normal routine less than a week after surgery. I'm down 75lbs since October 13th. Couldn't be happier.

    Goal weight?

    I was sleeved in Mexico so have had less direction and follow up care than a lot of you. How was your goal weight determined? Did you pick a number, your doctor pick a number? Was it determined by healthy bmi? I ask because I will need to have abdominal apron surgery but can't have it until I've reached and maintained my goal weight for 6 months.
  6. I was sleeved 10/13. High weight 260, surgery weight was 242, current weight is 168. That's a 74lb loss in just under 5 months. I'm running or doing some other form of high intensity workouts 5-6 days a week. I also follow the diet extremely closely and track every calorie I eat. I'm one of the unlucky/lucky people who dumps anytime I consume sweets or simple carbs. Ice cream, sweet cereal, bread, pasta it all makes me feel like I'm dying so I just don't touch it. I'm feeling amazing! Congratulations to everyone else on your amazing transformations!
  7. I have the sleeve and I dump with any carbs or sugar. It's awful! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
  8. I had my sleeve done when my daughter was eight months old and still breastfeeding. I have not had any issues with supply and it has not affected my weight loss at all. I did not pump and dump either. I nursed her right after I was awake enough from surgery and never missed a beat. I would not push it back if I were you.

    Motivation or lack there of

    The best advice I can give you is to just do it. For me the hardest part most days is just getting my shoes on and getting out the door. Make yourself go on a walk even if it's only around the block. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

    2nd Failed Band, Time for a Sleeve!

    My mom used Dr Lopez for her sleeve and was very happy with him. You shouldn't have any issues being by yourself, they will take very good care of you. I'm not sure about your other questions but I can tell you I converted from band to sleeve in October and I'm so thrilled with my results. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  11. Surgery date 10/13/16 Height 5'4 HW 260 SW 242 CW 189 Total loss 53lbs I've had lots of stalls. I find I don't lose or will even gain closest to my period. I've also found that working out pretty intensely helps. I keep track of everything in MyFitnessPal including everything I put into my mouth and all of my exercise. My last stall lasted almost a month with a five pound gain then I dropped 12 lbs in two weeks. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
  12. My mom was sleeved three years ago, about two years after her Parkinson's diagnosis. I would be happy to get you in contact with her if you have questions. I'm sure she would be happy to share her experience. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
