Question:
I had the gastric sleeve April 30th,2009 not losing anymore.

I was 289 lbs. the day of the surgery and as of today I weigh 240 lbs. I can't walk like I should because I have real bad knees. What do I do to lose more weight? I want to get to 160 lbs. Please give me advice. Oh and my surgeon that did my surgery is no longer practicing the new surgeon said NO to doing the duodenal switch so I feel I am screwed.    — joy2others2 (posted on September 14, 2011)

Sorry I don't have any suggestions about the type of surgery you had or about any type of revisions, other than my doctor does lots of revisions, so maybe ask a different doctor? As far as the weight loss, what are you eating? Dump any carbs and stick with protein...until you reach the desired weight

If you aren't able to exercise a lot then the best way to lose is going to be to evaluate your diet. What does a typical day look like. Fat, Calories, Carbs, Protein and portion size? It might help to write everything down. I know when I hit a plateau I subsituted one meal each day for a protein shake and was able to start losing again.

Sorry you are having a difficult time. You might want to try water aerobics for exercise. Before my surgery, and right after, I did water aerobics, walking and jogging in the water. It takes the pressure off of your knees and is a great way to get your heart rate up! Hope that helps.
