This is the first time I've posted. Been lurking for almost two years!! I had my sleeve 9/14 and have only lost about 25 pounds.

I know what has caused my failure but have no more insight now than the day of my surgery.

Where do I go from here?

That depends entirely on the reason you've identified for your failure, doesn't it?

There is lot of help and support available here, but we need a little more to go on here.

I don't think anything has changed other than my smaller portions. I still eat crap and drink alcohol. I have changed some habits undoubtedly but not enough for the change I was hoping for. I still want to lose 50 pounds.

well. the good news is tomorrow is a new day and you can choose to eat good Proteins, lay off the alcohol for a while and see what you can do. All depends on how much you want to loose that 50 pounds.

I wouldn't rate this as a failure, but a choice you've made. and your sleeve is right there waiting for you if you decide to make a change.

I decided to "work with" my sleeve after "not listening" to it for four years.

I went back to the first week of solid food stage and got back on track.

It can be done.

YOU can do it!!!

You have the opportunity to stand up, stand tall and be your own hero.

Soooo, get mov'n!!! :)

Prayers going up for you.

I would add that you probably need to go back to a Protein shake with 50 grams of Protein (2 portions and 12 oz. of liquid) every day. Skipping the shakes caused my weight loss to slow dramatically, so now they are mandatory for me.

When was the last time you talked to your NUT? It sounds like you may need to make an appointment.

      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.
