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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
