How far out from surgery are you? Are you hungery too?

Im scared i have to go back to counting calories... That approach usually back fires on me though... I end up over eating and gaining.

Man... This stinks... I really thought this was the answer.

I'm trying to be positive, my lowest with he band was 163 and I would be estatic getting to that again. I had the band removed and I was at 180 , my surgeon wouldn't touch me for 6 months and I gained 28 lbs to 208. My sugars started to rise and I was eating healthy, I know for me it's all about Portion Control. I was 208 at prep diet start and 194 at surgery Aug 8th and I'm only down to 182. I have been logging my calories and it says not enough. I am about 800 calories a day.it has to start soon, out of choices.

Keep me posted

Maybe we can learn from each other

I pretty much try to follow a high Protein version of the old weight watchers core program. Its basically nothing processed or high in fat.

Lean meats veggies fruits grains and legumes.

It was working before surgery but not now :-(

Hi all! I'm finally out of the hospital as of Tuesday! I was there almost 2.5 weeks. Whew! Being home is such a blessing. No one coming to draw blood, take my blood pressure at 2am, etc.

I was borderline depressed while in the hospital. I've been going through so much since my first sleeve surgery in Aug. I'm finally ready to take my life back. Things are getting much better day by day....

Thanks for keeping the thread alive mlola... and congradulations Candace (nothing better than being home and getting your life back)

For me... still struggling with weight loss. I'm pretty discouraged at times. Its been 1 month since surgery. If I watch every calorie I put in my body and work out religiously, I seem to be able to loose about 1lb per week. I could do that before the revision. I get really scared I just gave myself a malabsorption/dumping problem for absolutly no reason. Ugh....

I feel quite whiny when I post these thing.... sorry :unsure:

Are others having this issue?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
