forensicmary got a reaction from ionpenningsheld in Biggest Fear About Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery?
My main fear is that I will fail. I am a stress eater and I dont have to be hungry to eat. I am looking at different ways to take my life back from job that I allow to use me up everyday. I belong to Urban Active so I will be exercising daily there. I just need to get some positive hobbies:)
Otherwise over the next week and a half I will be playing with different kinds of Protein shakes and planning how to incorporate the liquid, soft and pureed meals into my diet prior to my Sept. 28 surgery.

forensicmary got a reaction from Halo65 in Six Months Out from my Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery
I am six months out and lost a total of 30 lbs gained 5 back this month. Went back to counting calories, exercises and lost 2 lbs so far this week. I take full responsibility for not following the diet and letting chips, soda, bread and icecream back in my diet. I have restriction but I now know which foods I can eat more of and I do...
That said I am getting back to the basics and try to keep loosing. It is embarassing to have stalled out for this long. I wish there was a easier way but lets face it. Weight loss is hard work for some people. I am an emotional eater and until I recognize and stop my response I will not progress.
Pray for me:)

forensicmary got a reaction from lwaynelrde in How Far Post Op Are You And How Much Weight Have You Lost?
I only lost 30 lbs since my surgery about 14 months ago. I snuck diet pop/soda into my diet which did not help at all with my surgar cravings. I have stopped drinking pop/soda since my doctors visit when I met another gastric plication with band patient who is having a revision due to pop/soda. Totally her surgery is not at 24,000.
So snacking and soda is definately my down fall

forensicmary got a reaction from maynellrmnderm in Expected stomach capacity
I am 4 1/2 weeks out and I have eaten almost a cup of food(chili- mostly beans). It seems like I am able to eat more now and it worries me. The last two days I have eaten 1000-1100 calories. Normal food is much more calories for sure. I am not always getting 64 oz in throughout theday. I can how ever drink normally.
Can you stretch out your stomach this early and I thought it was about 3 oz-4 oz was all that we can handle?
What is everyone elses experience this early on...
