I love coconut but won't ever eat it again as it's on my never eat again list too. I've had a little corn in my salads without an issue. I was wondering about corn too. Do most people eat it?

Welcome to onederland!

I agree,i just don't enjoy eating anymore. I guess that was the point, lol. But I struggle to get the minimum calories in because no matter how little or slow I eat I never feel well after. I'm not complaining though, I'm thrilled to have these issues.

I went through exactly the same things I think maybe it is an allergy to the glue and the healing process. It was horrible for about a week. The above things mentioned all helped me. I also gained and freaked out, six pounds at the same time out as you followed by a crazy long stall. Good news is it broke and I started losing very fast again. Nothing would have helped me feel better at the time, but I promise you aren't going to fail. Hang in there and let your body heal. It will get better.

I have this issue too. I know it's usuallylow blood pressure. Hope it goes away.

At six weeks after I was able to eat a bit more normally, i.e. something besides soup and shakes, I realized I felt more normal. It just gets easier everyday. Hang in there.

Congrats keep us posted!

This is my story exactly too though I started a little be lighter than you are currently. It's frustrating, but I have to imagine our bodies are thankful. Not sure when others will notice, but I don't like the attention so it is ok with me. But I would like to fit in smaller clothes! Good luck to you. You aren't alone.

I think it gets better. Pre op and early on I noticed every food ad and after reading your post I realized I never do that anymore. Though I admit eating just isn't fun anymore. I end up feeling yucky no matter how slowly or little I eat, but the head hunger is pretty much gone for me at eight weeks. Good luck.

Amazing, congrats!

You won't fail, I promise. I can't say the scale won't go up as I gained six pounds at this stage and stalled for weeks. I was as sad as could be. But then when it broke I was losing line two pounds a day. So your body might try to hold on to anything you give it after weeks of nothing but liquids. But the scale will be your friend again soon. Hopefully this won't be what happens at all to you! Good luck you will succeed!

I had pretty much the picture prefect journey so far. I read so much on this site and made sure I knew as much as possible. I too felt like this was my last option and couldn't be happier. Best wishes.

Don't worry just go slow. I actually had a six pound gain followed by a stall after starting mushies and freaked. But your body has been through a lot and you will lose again even if you stop briefly. This is for life and you can do this. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks for sharing your story. You are doing great! So happy for you!

I regret not doing it sooner. Easily one of the best decisions of my life.

Huge congrats to you! Keep rocking that sleeve!

How are you doing today?

Welcome!

Best wishes! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Best of luck on your journey. I recently moved from Portland and miss it a lot. I find these boards helped me so much. Best wishes to all you new sleevers, saving room on the loser's bench for you all!

My mind doesn't settle down some times and my doctor allows ambien. Hope you get some rest soon.

Thanks Lissa! I usually eat 400-500 a day so you might be right. I am finding some days I can eat a lot more and am more hungry. Funny thing is those are usually days I lose. Other dats like today it's 7 and i'm under 300 and can't eat anymore. I'm hungrier but seem to get full faster now. Crazy journey.

I'm about eight weeks and have been hungry for the first time and am wondering if I should take two acid reducers a day? I loved never feeling hungry the first few weeks and was hoping that continued.

After the first couple days I could drink normally too.

I'm having a little of this issue too. Not cool to break out at 39.
