hello , I had the sleeve done 02/09/12 lose from 311 to 188 I have regain to 260 need help. Thinking about getting resleeved this month in Mexico
Maiya,
I sincerely hope that you are doing better. You had your surgery a few weeks before me, so You should be eating regular food by now so I hope that has helped. I agree, the liquid diet phase was very depressing but I hope that you made it through okay.
Yes. I regained 30 pounds and lost it in about 3 months. I went back to basics. I kept a food journal, kept calories to no more than 1000, 35 g carbs, at least 90 g protein. I used protein shakes so i could get my proteins that high. Meals were proteins plus low carb veggies or fruits.
the weight doesn't come off as quickly as it did during the honeymoon phase (just after surgery), but it came off.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone had success losing weight after they gained without having revision surgery. I had my surgery in novemeber 2011 and I was down to 195lbs from 380lbs but over the years I have gained 75lbs back. I need to get it off but I want to do it without surgery! Has anyone had success and if so...what did you do?????
Hello, had my sleeve June 15, 2015. Had my 6 month post op visit and the weight loss was excellent. But my blood count was not. They said my wbc was low and was vitamin d deficient, b-12 deficient , aniemic and losing muscle. I have been exercising 3 to 4 times a week most of the time. Started lifting weights and feel pretty good. But know I am scared. They want me to see a hematologist. I had a high and went to a low within 10 minutes. My highest weight was in February of 2015 (400lbs) and weight in January 21, at(301 lbs) but then got the news about my wbc. I must admit that at times I may not have been getting all my proteins in and taking my vitamins as routinely but since then has been making an effort to do better. Have you or anyone that you know have had any issues with low wbc counts.
Hello!!!!!
Hubby just reminded me that today is the 15th so I am actually posting on my surgiversary day. It has been a long, tough, journey. My starting weight was 342 lbs and now I am, again, 10 lbs from my goal weight, at 150. I have not ever been at 140 lbs and I am still trying. I have planned to adjust my eating and exercise to something I can do on a daily basis. I am tired of this up and down weight gain and loss. I just want to get to 140 lbs and a size 6, or lower, and stay there for the duration. I mean size 8 is ok but its not my goal.
With my emotional eating, it's just so hard for me to stay on track but I am gonna work hard from now on to conquer this mess. It has had a hold of me almost all my life. I know I need to incorporate more water into my diet and eat more when I exercise too much. Some days I get in some really intense workouts but then I don't eat enough to balance it out.
It would definitely make a big difference if I got my thighs, arms, and breast done since my surgeon told me I can come back at anytime to get them done. But since he did my panniculectomy and butt lift I'm still experiencing itching around my mid section and have to use ointment everyday, I really am not planning to do it. I'm pretty much in the same boat as before having the surgery done, having to put something on my stomach everyday.
I wish everyone continued luck on your journey. Happy New Year!
