I am overweight, I was 325, now 312. I really have no idea why I am overweight at this point or why I can't really lose weight. I am seeing a bariatric doctor. He put me on a 1600 calorie diet, 120 mg of protein a day etc. low carbs but I can't remember the amount. He told me I am overweight because I don't eat enough, and my body is storing fat. I never reach my calorie intake for the day or my protein. I have tried so many ways to lose weight. It has been up and down since I was 10 years old. I have not been able to keep the weight even with exercise. I don't feel like I eat well all the time, but I also don't eat horrible, I know I can add more vegetables, eat fewer sweets, etc, but I still don't feel that adds up to 325 lbs.
I do have hypertension, and prediabetes, bulging disc, lupus, arthritis. I decided on the sleeve because I feel there is no other possible solution at this point.
