newgrandmother

the first one is this year and i remember feeling really down this day, my job went on an outting and everyone looked so cute and tiny and i felt like a lump of whatever and that day one of the younger girls chose to sit by me on the bus, before she sat down she was like i hope i fit WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT. my feelings were so hurt, of course she was like i didnt mean it like that, yeah right she is all of 23 petite with booty and gets major attention. I didnt understand why she had to put me down. do this child know when im smaller i put her body to shame. lol the second one was taken last week

i am 1 day from two months post op this moring i was able to fit 2 slices of bacon and 1/2 of oatmeal i am full comfortably. sometimes my stomach seems really small in the mornings and some days i can get a decent amount of food in. so how many months weeks days are you post op and what do you eat for Breakfast

i agree with everyone. my thoughts on this is we are treated like rny patients. we stillhave our stomach its just smaller and we have a pyloric valve theirs is now man made i think that makes a differance. i drank coffe for years and never had an ulcer now i had that damn h pylory crap and still didnt get an ulcer. again we are treated like rny patients we are not like them at all. anyone agree

i feel a lot better today. thank you for all your support

my nut put it this way. our stomach are really small and there is no room for ulcers and drinking caffeine can cause an ulcer. im having coffee today because i need to pee lol

ones who stills feels hunger - real hunger, NOT head hunger - please let's not start that debate again ). lol

becca i got on the scale today and guess what it was up 3lbs sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh. i know why it was the excess sodium about 3 days ago. now i have to get this water off of me. green you are very welcome. i know we are not suppose to drink caffiene but i have to drink coffee today to release some of this water wieght. plus ive been doing squats and building muscle the water gets trapped in there. so a grande americano for me today and lots of water. after losing 5lbs last week and gaining 3 with in a few days it got me down. this is one of the reasons i dont want to do toning right now because i am a scale person and muscle wieghs more than fat. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

holly that man loves you regardless and thats a good thing. your sister is focused i need to learn that. artsong im feeling that right now the scale is up 3lbs and i know why, sodium i got to get this Water off. oh and ive been doing lower body workouts grrrrrrrrr cant win for losing sometimes. before i so feel the same way, man i want to be normal like thin ppl who dont worry about wieght. minime i will be here for you girlie

imskinny it was chicken and i did microwave it to heat it up. hummmmmmm how wierd

yea i thought i could alter mines before. nottttttttttttttttttttt lol

this is why i slimmed I found this ariticle going through google i hope it helps someone understand how food and beverage work in our new tummy's First, I’m not a doctor nor have I ever played one on TV. This may be old news to some..... But I’ve noticed a lot of people who have had VSG do not have any idea how the Pyloric Valve works. This is my understanding how the Pyloric Valve works. The Pyloric Valve function and how it pertains to your VSG. The function of your Pyloric valve is the single most not talked about important part of understanding how and when you should eat and drink. The Pyloric Valve is just that....It is a valve that is located at the bottom of your stomach/sleeve. This valve is in between your sleeve and the lower intestine. The basic definition of a valve is an apparatus that opens and closes. When open this valve it is about the diameter of a dime. When closed it’s opening is closed down to the diameter of the head of a ballpoint pen. Dense Proteins and harder to digest foods will cause the Pyloric valve to close to hold the food in your stomach for pre-digestion...... stomach acids breaking down this “Rough” food. That’s why we are told to eat dense proteins first.....To close the Pyloric Valve so food stays in your stomach/sleeve longer so we have a sense of satisfaction. It takes about 30-60 minutes for the food to clear the Pyloric Valve...... Than it’s OK to drink. That is also where the term slider food comes into play. A slider food does not close the Pyloric Valve and as the term is intended.....food slides right past an open Pyloric Valve. There is a video that gets posted every so often that is supposed to explain food going past the Pyloric Valve. The guy uses a funnel and has apple sauce or something in it....and it shows the apple sauce dripping out the end of the funnel very slow. Than he pours Water on top of the apple sauce to dilute it, illustrating drinking after eating.....and the diluted apple sauce runs through the funnel end faster. Than he concludes that this is how your pyloric valve

enig thank you so much and you are so right on point. thank you again

delta thank you so much. this time im not even thinking of food as comfort, thats a good thing. it just feels like something is missing from my life or something. i feel good that i can pass all the goodies in the store and not give them a second thought. i think i might be beating myslef up for nothing. sighhhhhhhhhhhh newegirl thank you for the kind words

40 thank you i too suffer from depression and anxiety but its not like that now. its jsut something i cant explain. ive been in depressed states where i couldnt function, this depression is something differant. maybe its the gloomy weather that put me in that mood im not sure. thank you for your support

i have been doing really good ive lost 30lbs in 8 weeks i eat what i am suppose to do, i even started working out. why do i feel so sad this always happen to me when im losing weight its like i set myself up for failure or something. i can be doing good and instantly at times i get this ugly feeling of i will not reach goal i will not lose weight, this isnt going to work. i felt really good yesterday. i had a normal morning ate breakfast, went to the store, came home cleaned out a cabinet, fixed my food for the day, and showered got dressed for work and thats where i am now. and i feel like crap i ate clean today and worked out so i should feel upbeat. PLEASE talk to me i need my fellow sleevers right now.

mdm you are looking good girlfriend. i see it in your face. how much have you lost?

djp it happened to me so i researched it. i had an episode the other day where i thought my food was digested and i gulped water and it took over 5 mins for me to come back it was aweful.
