Hi!! I'm new here as I was recommended to get involved in gastric sleeve support group. I'm wondering if anyone is in my same boat. I had surgery March 31 2017. I have lost 90 pounds and no where near my goal weight. I feel as though people who have had the surgery by a year are way past me. Or they have aleat made it some what close to their goal. I'm stuck and I actually gained weight as I maintained 207 for a few months until recently. I do everything possible to lose the rest,but my knees are bad,so I only walk. I admit, I eat whatever my parents which most of the time isn't healthy, but I only eat a little because I never get a full feeling so I eat little quantities but I'm gaining weight?. My mother got vsg almost a decade ago and maintained her weight fot a while but gained weight back and eats poorly as well. Is my sleeve stretched? I will have to do the bypass or am I not working hard enough? Or am I being too hard on myself? Or is it that my goal weight is too extreme? I don't want to get back to my starting weight but it seems like that is becoming extremely likely.

Thanks so much! I actually lost 10 pounds since this post!

Hi!! Sorry for answering so late. Thanks for the feedback! I have started doing all these things and lost 10 pounds so far.

Hi! I'm not sure how many calories I eat which I know I have to get back to counting. Although I'm pretty sure I get protein as they cook a lot of meat, a majority of the time it's fried ( unless I cook it myself which I have been doing recently). Again, I will have to get back to counting protein as well. I will try to get back to eating 800-1000 calories. I think my problem is not counting like I was doing a few months ago. This has put things into perspective. Thanks so much for the support!

Hi!! Thanks for the support. I did the phototransformation you mentioned and it made me realize I did lose a lot. I will definitely try going back to eating how it was post-op and then prepping my meals thereafter. Thank you so much!
