I'm 6 weeks out, and didn't feel any restriction with liquids. In fact, I still don't feel much (or at least not as much as with sleeve) now with real foods. But follow the rules and the weight will still come off. I've lost 23 lbs in 6 weeks.

I Had MGB on August 6, 2018. It was a revision from VSG. My surgery weight was almost 260, today almost 5 months later I’m at 240. I feel discouraged, but will keep at it.
im having little restriction so im keeping mindful about staying under 1000-1200 calories, getting Protein in first. Also drinking 2 liters of Water.

in a desperation, I’ve begun 16.8 IF...

this is not the result I was expecting from a revised surgery, 4 months in. :-/

Thanks Retty and UndertheCalisun, I appreciate the input. I am freaking out about no restriction and ease of drinking, etc. Even soft scrambled eggs at 2.5 weeks out are uber easy for me. But it's okay, we'll just see what this brings!

Hi tawny - things seems to be going quite well actually. I've cut right back on my carbs and slider foods and I do seem to have a lot more restriction now. I have also found not to keep trying to eat Snacks, not even healthy ones, unless I actually feel really hungry. If I don't feel hungry, I won't look for anything to eat! I think I was actually eating too much throughout the days mainly because my dietician said to have 3 main meals and 2 or 3 snacks per day. I'm finding just having Breakfast, a light lunch of say, high Protein yoghurt or cheese & a few crackers and a small meal at night is plenty during a day and my weight loss is consistent each week. Some days I don't even have anything for lunch except an extra cup of milky coffee (made with high protein milk).
Another thing I've found is to basically forget about the surgery and food etc. Just keep busy with other things and only eat when I feel really hungry. Of course, keeping up my fluids is still very important!
As you're only a couple of weeks out from surgery, you'd just be starting pureed foods, I'm guessing? Are you finding you don't feel much in the way of restriction? You might find that may change once you're on more solid foods.
I do hope your weight loss journey is a good one. 😊

It may have been a typo, and you meant menopause - but manpause is so ironically funny! Made my day. (and I do hope things are better for you!)

I'm 6'0", 42 years old. Had surgery January 2013 at 266 lbs, now at 176. Wearing a size 10-12. Feel good, look great, despite a little bit of loose skin on my belly. Don't think I should go any lower than 170.

266-175, I'm six feet tall and so grateful. Having Mexico and an awesome doctor as an option saved my life.
