Band to Sleeve patients lose less?



Recommended Posts

It sounds like you are eating too many carbs still. Try to cut way back and see if you start seeing the scale move. Stay away from the breads & Pasta as much as possible.

I had my band to sleeve revision on 8/28/14. I have only lost 22 lbs and have been stalled for the past 6 weeks. I am extremely frustrated. I consume 90-100 grams of Protein, 60-80 carbs, and 1200-1300 calories. I have been walking 1-2 miles, several times a week. I am starting to feel like a failure, or that I am not doing something right. Original SW before band was 275. Lost down to 190. I was 220 when I had the revision done. My goal is 150. It is starting to feel like I have gone through this surgery for nothing.

No carbs is a big key to success with the sleeve. I am now on 60g of Protein a day - all lean protein - chicken, fish, tunafish - some low fat no fat cottage cheese. No yogurt even if it's greek. Vegetables are secondary - I have a few with dinner. No Pasta, bread, rice. I also get at least 2 miles on the treadmill 5 days a week. The scale is moving once again!

I'm hoping when I go from band to sleeve that I'll be too full from the Protein to have room for anything else

They have told me that I am eating too few calories. I am exercising, getting my Protein in, eating 30-35 carbs. I am averaging about 650 or so calories per day. I am not getting all my Water every day

I didn't think I was eating too many carbs until I started putting everything in My Fitness Pal. I have an egg for Breakfast, 1/8 cup of nuts for a snack with a few pieces of beef Jerky, packet of tuna for lunch, Protein Shake for afternoon snack. dinner is usually what ever the family is having just in a smaller portion. I usually do not to eat any bread, Pasta or rice. I was surprised to find out how many foods I thought were high in Protein also had quite a few carbs in them. They seem to add up quickly. I try to stay away from sweets, but allow myself a small sweet item in the evening. I feel that my sleeve is too large. I can eat more than I thought I could. I guess I'm use to only eating a few bites with the band and then feeling "stuck".

      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.
