I dont know what to do!

[ThinnerTiff 172]

I had my Sleeve done 10/9/2012. by june 2013 ive lost 115lbs from the day I started my journey of 300lbs. well in June I gotten pregnant and gained 60lbs, had my daughter in March 2014. Well I tried to lose, and by august 2014, when my Daughter was 5 months ive gotten pregnant again. I still had all that weight. I just had my 2nd daughter May 8th 2015 and was up to 267, and ive currently lost 29lbs, but I know is all Water.i still have 130lbs to lose until goal now. I been at a stall for weeks and im eating the right stuff and everything.

My apron is a lot lower since having 2 kids and I get terrible rashes and the smell is horrible.. its to the point it hurts to walk and wear clothes and exercise. I use powder, barley works. Ive also noticed I don't get full as easy as I did before..i think that's a problem.

Ive made an apt with the clinic for July 8th. I just don't know what to do. I want the bypass, my husband says no, I need 130lbs off by a year and half to get the Panni done before my insurance runs out. the weight is just not falling off like it did...

Is there any tips,or anything... thank you!!

Do the 5-day fast and see if that helps. I'm considering it too.

What does "eating the right stuff" mean? Are you:

--weighing or measuring your portions

--tracking everything you eat on myfitnesspal or a similar app, and making sure you are eating at a significant caloric deficit

--focusing on lean Protein and green veggies, and avoiding processed carbs, starchy veggies, and sweets, with fruits and nuts as occasional treats

--avoiding liquid calories other than Protein Shakes

--making sure you get minimum 64 oz fluids daily

If you are doing all that and still not losing weight, it seems like the bypass (or switch) would be worth exploring. Maybe that extra kick of malabsorption is what you need!

ya, I mean I know I just had my daughter a month ago, itll take time to come off, but ive been the same for like 3 weeks...

just wished my husband was on board with at least researching it. he says theres to much malnoutrition with it and its for people bigger then me. ugh.

As a suggestion for your stomach concerns, have you tried deodorant? I used to get an irritating heat rash under my breasts and I started using the Degree Clinical Strength roll on version (not the gel that clicks up) and it totally eliminated the problem. Even though thanks to plastic surgery my thighs don't touch anymore, I still put it on my upper inner thighs during the summer because it prevents sweatiness.

I remember you from the forums, I had my surgery 10/1/12. I lost about 53lbs pre and post op. My weight loss was SUPER slow!!! I got pregnant a year post surgery and gained 40lbs. After the baby, I started experiencing horrible GERD. I also was not losing weight at all. Slider foods like crackers much easier(not good I know) but something didn't seem right. So I consulted a new bariatric dr. as my first surgery was in

S. America. He told me he has seen stretched sleeve post-pregnancy. Now mind you I was very diligent when pregnant. So he sent me for a barium swallow. It was discovered I did have GERD and a hiatal hernia. I went for an endoscopy last week. My sleeve is angulated (twisted) and has a bit if a pouch so food does not exit the way it should backs up in sleeve which can cause stretching and GERD. I am in the process of a revision. Get checked. I do not believe there is enough data about pregnancy and the sleeve IMO. I think there is still a lot they do not know.

Either way for me my stomach and hernia have to be fixed. I would have never known if I did not go to dr!
