I Need Help Guys I Was Sleeved In April



Recommended Posts

I'm failing big time. I got sleeved in April and I have only lost 52 lbs. I'm really hungry most of the time and I'm snacking constantly. I'm just a failure when I thought no one could fail when getting sleeved. What can I do? I even gained weight

what hunger do you have? Can you just eat every 3 hours? I mean meal and snack in between? what about work out? Did you do something?

I heard that you can use boot camp to start again. do search on this forum....

So you have been sleeved about 5 months and have lost 52 pounds and you consider that failure? That rate is over 100 pounds a year. That sounds pretty successful to me. Dont be hard on yourself,we all have days when we eat to much,theres always tomorrow to get back on track. Follow the rules and you will get there. Good luck to you.

Thanks Donnie I'm just a little down since I feel like I'm stuck and yes I've been eating everything from the do not list so I know people like me go back to recover the weight and that scares me

Hi there thanks for the answering I do exercise 3 times a week but my problem is the types of food just because it feels good even when is not the most nutritious, but at least it doesn't hurt

You could consider the DS, the 2nd step for some sleevers...

Nothing is going to help untill you get some help for your eating issues. Maybe some counseling? Something is making you still want to eat. The sleeve is just a physical tool. If there are some emotional issues as to why you eat they aren't going to go away overnight.

Good luck on this journey. And a wise woman once told me, take out the ONLY. I have lost 52 pounds in 5 months! That is still 10 pounds a month! A huge accomplishment!

You are very welcome. Just remember,we are all indivisuals,some people lose faster,some people would kill to lose 52 pounds in 5 months. There will be ups and downs,some stalls and some weeks where you may lose 8-10 pounds, if you follow the rules...get your Protein in first and all the Water requirements you will get there. Personally I think whatever you are doing is working! You look great. Be patient, it will happen.

If you eat Protein first, it really helps limit your hunger and keeps you on track. 52 pounds in 5 months is great, but you need to get your snacking under control now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
