are you working out? I know that some do not have to work out to lose weight. But I have the body type that has to do some sort of routine about 4-5 times a week or I will not see the scale tip to my favor. Good luck and do not lose hope

Hi , I had the sleeve 3 years ago and stalled for 2 years. My problem was what I was eating. I thought eating less was enough , it's what I was eating that caused the problem. Too little protein and vegetables , too many unhealthy foods. I 'm glad I'm finally able to get honest with myself.
I also know I need to exercise more and that that I have to fight through the pain of my arthritis and just do it . I don't have to run a marathon , I just need to move more for now.
The sleeve is a great tool but it isn't a cure . Also , you may want to considering following up with your surgeon. There may be other reasons why you stalled. Keep your chin up ! You can get through this !

Hi - I realise this is quite an old post and you might be fine now, but I thought I'd share my experience, in case it's helpful to you.

I had my surgery June 2010. I stopped losing around a year-ish afterwards (75 pounds lost and got to BMI of 24) and I have now started to regain, which is horrifying to me! It's only about 3 kilos (about 6-7 pounds) in the last 6 months or so, which I could live with if it stops here, but I obviously don't want that trend to continue.

I worked out why though; I am eating too frequently, which was my pre-op problem, and the calories really add up. I have just started using MFP which is highlighting all of that and now that I'm focussing on the proper diet rules we're all given after surgery (protein first, no snacking - well, minimal!) and planning my meals, this is starting to come right. What I'm not really sure of is how many calories we should be eating to maintain, or to still lose this far out. I've seen various things say 1200 calories for maintenance, but not sure how much less for weight loss. I guessed and am aiming for 900 a day. Any suggestions on whether that's right or not would be helpful! I do get hungry now, so I find it hard to stick to the super low 600 area any more.

Anyway, what I really wanted to say was that yes, it is harder, you can eat nearly everything now and it's easy to get off track. But, if you get back to basics, you'll be reminded you still have this amazing tool you can use to keep your weight under control. Try to eat a huge plate of meat, you'll remember you have a small stomach pretty quickly!

I should add that I've not done any exercise the whole time - I did endless bootcamps and gym classes pre-op and never found that useful for losing weight (useful for maintaining though). I have just started again, but for fitness and maintenance.

Best of luck.
