I had my sleeve done the end of August. It was a band to sleeve revision. I lost 30 lbs the first month but NOTHING since. Haven't gained...but haven't lost either. My protein intake is bad...I feel as if I have no restriction and I'm always exhausted. Im taking vitamins..iron and calcium. I walk but other than that not much else. I'm very discouraged and am embarrassed to go to my two month post op visit because I feel like a total failure. Am I the only one in this sinking boat??

I only lost 50 lbs with the lapband. It was the worst decision of my life. This is much different. With the band..food got stuck. No getting around it...even with liquid. It was hard..harsh. this is different. It's more forgiving..not a good thing for me. Lol Sent from my SM-G900W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

I just got an RX for the PPI. Logically, I know that 25# in a month is a lot of weight...but since I suffered so much and so long with my band only to gain it all (50#) back...I guess I just want to be on a fast track to skinnyville. lol Thanks for the info.

I'm new and I really don't understand how this forum works. I had a vsg august 28 2017 after a failed lapband. I only stayed overnight in the hospital..had minimal pain and was feeling great right away. No gas pains...NO stomach pains..my surgeon was amazing. I am down only 25#. I'm eating anything I want with no discomfort. Having said that I am eating only 1/4 cup or 4oz three times a day and trying to get my required protein. I was under the impression that I wasn't going to feel physical hunger...but I feel hungry at times...physically. I get light headed..dizzy..nauseous and must eat something...this doesn't happen often but it DOES happen. Anyone else in the same boat?[emoji15]
