Mary23 17 Posted September 30, 2013 How far out from surgery are you? Are you hungery too? Im scared i have to go back to counting calories... That approach usually back fires on me though... I end up over eating and gaining. Man... This stinks... I really thought this was the answer. I'm trying to be positive, my lowest with he band was 163 and I would be estatic getting to that again. I had the band removed and I was at 180 , my surgeon wouldn't touch me for 6 months and I gained 28 lbs to 208. My sugars started to rise and I was eating healthy, I know for me it's all about Portion Control. I was 208 at prep diet start and 194 at surgery Aug 8th and I'm only down to 182. I have been logging my calories and it says not enough. I am about 800 calories a day.it has to start soon, out of choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stcyt 6 Posted September 30, 2013 I'm at 6 weeks so I'm hoping it starts soon Keep me posted Maybe we can learn from each other I pretty much try to follow a high Protein version of the old weight watchers core program. Its basically nothing processed or high in fat. Lean meats veggies fruits grains and legumes. It was working before surgery but not now :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleeved2RNY 10 Posted October 10, 2013 How's everyone doing? Just realised no one has updated in October. Hi all! I'm finally out of the hospital as of Tuesday! I was there almost 2.5 weeks. Whew! Being home is such a blessing. No one coming to draw blood, take my blood pressure at 2am, etc. I was borderline depressed while in the hospital. I've been going through so much since my first sleeve surgery in Aug. I'm finally ready to take my life back. Things are getting much better day by day.... -Candace SW: 289 CW: 256 GW: 170 2 vicki s and LeanerLena5426 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stcyt 6 Posted October 11, 2013 How's everyone doing? Just realised no one has updated in October. Thanks for keeping the thread alive mlola... and congradulations Candace (nothing better than being home and getting your life back) For me... still struggling with weight loss. I'm pretty discouraged at times. Its been 1 month since surgery. If I watch every calorie I put in my body and work out religiously, I seem to be able to loose about 1lb per week. I could do that before the revision. I get really scared I just gave myself a malabsorption/dumping problem for absolutly no reason. Ugh.... I feel quite whiny when I post these thing.... sorry Are others having this issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
