I had gastric sleeve surgery 10 months ago and I’ve only lost 29 lbs. I still have 100lbs to go. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Meeting with your Surgeon... ASAP

I agree - meet with your surgeon. People lose at all different rates, but 29 lbs in 10 months is very low. Are you logging what you eat? Are you following your plan religiously? I'd definitely start by meeting with my medical team.

Something wrong definitely.

I lost the 20lbs in my first 7 days.

I agree with above all of them - Call the Doc

Also if you can meet with a Nutritionist Hire one, I do not follow any barbaric plan concerning food schedule, I with doctor approval started this journey once i got my head out of my Ass to simply get healthy. Wieght loss was second to my health! I have found it can be broken down really simple. I do not care about the 500 page plans and all the other marketing behind dieting it comes down to this flash card!

Calories IN must be way less then calories out! = equals weight loss

Carbs in/ sugar intake = discomfort and stalls in weight loss or gain

Healthy in = Healthy feeling and healthy weigh loss

Since there is not a chance in hell i am going to us a App or log or anything like that, Just a typical lazy male, i focused on intake in the healthiest way possible. It worked for me

I would hope she's been like most of us and had 1,2,3, and 6 month post-op appointments.

I was wondering the same thing! What did the doc say at your follow up apts?

I stay away from carbs, and sugar. I'm walking an average of 4.5 miles a day.

If it is too cold outside, I go to Walmart if I have to, to get my walking in.

I've lost almost 20lbs and I'm 3 weeks post op.

How are y'all adding the signature weight progress? I love it!

      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.
