    This is a conversation you need to have with your physician. My physician's post-op instructions was that if I gained more than eight pounds, he wanted to be contacted. Also, considering your surgery is a little over two months ago, I do not know how you are eating 1000 calories per day. I am over five months post-op and I don't count calories because I do not eat enough to count! I may eat 1/2-3/4 cup of food per meal, which is three times per day. You need to discuss this with your physician right away! Good luck!

    Band to sleeve is different, I dont eat & drink 1000 cal a day, I stick under that, I have protein shake brekky 180 cal, I drink moccachino @ 55.cal, ham = 50 cal, salad 150, orange 47, nuts 150, etc etc. it all adds up

    Straight sleevers lose weight different yo those of us who have had revision surgery
    Just because you can or cant eat something, doesnt mean its the same for everyone, all our journeys sre different

    If it were me, I would cut back on some of the carbs and up your proteins. I know nuts have protein but they are high in fat. My doctor said to stay around the 600 - 800 calorie range to lose weight. Also, exercise, (although I hate it) has to be done regularly to burn the calories we take in. I don't have anything with sugar unless it is less than six grams in a protein shake. I'm not the 'biggest loser' but these are some of the things I would consider. I was on a stall but finally got moving again. Good luck, I hope you and your doc can figure this out so that sleeve of yours will start helping!

    I watch carbs and sugar , and have upped lean proteins to 80-100 grams. My cals are 800 to 1000 . I do eat nuts. No juices at all tho. Theres a strong correlation to weight loss and certain beneficial fats like olive oil omega 3 even coconut oil. But I do think a good nutritionist would be beneficial. Especially one who specialises in wks. You are right all journeys are different.

    I think you'll find that you'll get good advice if you are polite.

    You asked for help and when someone was kind enough to take time out of their busy day to give you an opinion, you got snotty.

    You want help? Then be gracious when someone offers an opinion. Use what you can of the opinion and throw away the rest.

    Meanwhile, why don't you go to a site that is tailored specifically for band to sleeve? You'll probably have an easier time of it there.

    First of all, how much weight did you need to lose to get to your goal weight? How much weight did you lose with the band and how much did you put back on before you revised? It is not always easy to lose weight the second time around after already having a restrictive surgery. It will come off slower the second time because the body is already used to lower calories. Make sure you are getting at least 30 minutes of exercise a day and watch out for calories in your drinks. Those are the fastest gain weight in my opinion. Drinks with calories go right down the sleeve with NO restriction. I wish you the very best of luck.

    Starting BMI 2/3/2012 - 38
    Goal BMI-24! REACHED and BELOW!! 10/2012 Current BMI 21.0!
    The best goals reached are the ones hardest earned.
