Ok I am so so discouraged. I am about 13 months out from surg. I lost very very steadily for the first 6 months. From my 6 to 9 month follow up appts I only lost 9lbs. They told me at that point I wasnt eating enough, and to increase my calories by adding a couple snacks. Also, increase my exercise. I will admit I indulged a little over the holidays, but bc of my "tool" I didnt over do it to bad. But after the first of the year I got right back on the wagon. From my 9 month appt to my 12 month I only lost 7lbs! So since February I have been tracking everything I put in my mouth, I uped my exercise to 5-6 cardio days a week, with added strength training and some yoga........and I have lost nothing!! Actually from last week to this week I gained 4 lbs. How is that possible?!?! So please has anyone eles experienced this? Any suggestions how to get things moving again? I just want to throw my hands up in the air and eat some icecream! Lol! I know I have come so far already and I feel better and am healthier and stronger, my clothes are still getting bigger, but I look at that number on the scale and say that is still not acceptable. My doc has told me from the begining that after the first year of the sleeve, your weightloss usually stops. Does this mean its over for me bc I didnt get it all off in the first year? Any help, reassurance, motivation, encouragement would be greatly appreciated!
