My sleeve is a failure.

Lolly, I am stumped about your situation.  I have a couple of suggestions though: 1) can you find an exercise physiologist?  If you got your resting metabolic rate tested you would know how many calories you need to sustain life while doing nothing else. It would give you an idea of a target for calories,  Also, there is such a thing as working out too hard.  If you work out too hard you quit burning fat and burn stored sugars instead.  If you can't carry on a conversation you are working out too hard.  This is something else an exercise physiologist can test for.  Here it is called a VO2 test. 2) call your surgeon- don't wait until November 3) ask to see a nutritionist.

You seem to be doing all the right things.  Just make sure you are getting lots of protein.  I broke one of my stalls by making sure I got at least 80- 100 grams of protein each day.  Yes, I had to resort to supplements to get it done.  I don't think that is possible with food alone.

Dont' stay away from the board too long.  I do understand that it is frustrating when everyone else is dropping pounds over night.  I stalled for 4 weeks when I was 10 days out.  I was conviced my sleeve was a $10K mistake.  Thankfully I was wrong.  Hang in there- someone will figure it out!

I agree, call your doctor and bring all your documentation.

Next, I have found that instead of keeping steady pace of walking or running (I also read this somewhere) that you do a decent rate and then sprint or go as fast as you can for 1-2 minutes and then go back to normal speed for 3-4 minutes and sprint again. 

Have you done measurements?  Are your clothes looser?

Are you eating enough?

If everything is as you say, then something is VERY wrong.

If you are following a normal post-op diet, sticking to protein and no carbs/fats that can be avoided, AND getting in enough exercise, there is no reason why you should not be losing weight.  Even without surgery, you should be losing weight if you really are following an appropriate post-op diet.

I would be at your doctors office Monday morning asking him/her what is going on?  If he did a legitimate sleeve, you should not be able to take in more that 2-3 ounces of liquid, and less than that of solids.

You should be on  approximately 1000 calories (kilocalories if you want to be scientifially correct)  daily, and there is no reason why any adult person should not be losing weight at that rate.

So, something is very, very wrong here.  Do NOT wait until November to see your doctor.

Great Posts and great information...you guys are super...Hope your doing good Medic

In addition to all the good advice you got above, it may be that you are one of the ones (as I KNEW I would be) who need malabsorption too.  Don't wait too long to come to that conclusion -- the switch works best when done close in time to the sleeve.

I did not know that that was possiblwe. I agrees with everyone else. Call your dr. There might be a program or something they can suggest to help you! It must be so frustrating! I hope you find a solution

What foods do you eat each day? Give us one day of what you eat and drink.

I am wondering if you indeed had the sleeve at all or if you only had 30 or 40 lbs to lose in the first place???? It makes absolutely no sense at all unless there is an underlying medical condition. Give us some more details if you would please such as how much did you have to lose and did you see your new stomach after the surgery in an x-ray? I read somewhere else that one Doc didn't really give the woman a VSG as promised and only gave her a gastric band. She didn't know it until very late in the game but she still lost...

You've had some good info,  I would add, that your starting BMI is not very high,  yours  started at 32.4, so having less to lose, you will lose slower  than those with higher BMI's.  It sounds like you are doing everything right.

I suggesrt in addition to the V02 test, can you get your body mass computed with under-waater weighing?  Hydrostaic Weight is the most accurate, they can tell you fat/lean mass so you have real numbers to work with.

Could be you are in a stall and need to up the protein, & calories.  I read you were 6'2" so you may need more calories than those of use who are shorter....  If you aren't eating enough, your body will hang on to every pound... Plus if you have some metabolic thing going it could make it worse.

 Take care and check with you Doc ASAP.
