Well a few days ago I fixed my toddler a grilled cheese & he took 2 bites & before I realized it (completely out of habit) I had eaten the rest of his sandwich no problem. I just see people that can't eat but a few bites & are shedding pounds & the fact that I can eat scares me. I'm hungry a Lot. Not head hunger either, real hunger. Every few hours.

I'm 5 weeks post op & have been able to eat anything that I want to and I feel like I am able to eat too much. Nothing bothers my sleeve. Did any long term sleevers deal with this early in your journey & if so did u still lose?? I'm so worried I won't lose anymore.

I was sleeved September 4. My recovery has been smooth once I was discharged. It was supposed to be overnight, but when my surgeon did rounds the next morning, he said, "Nope. You're definitely not going home today." I must have looked pretty bad. I was tired. Respiratory therapy woke me up every 3 hrs around the clock for a breathing treatment. Necessary, I know, but still made me grouchy. They were giving me Morphine for the pain so I didn't wake easily & had a hard time staying awake. I'm making good progress. Already weaning off some of my meds. Down 46 lbs & am loosing inches. I wish I would have measured before surgery.

Hi!! My surgeon said I should lose 70% which would take me to 186 if I figured that right. I'm like you! I want to prove them wrong. I live in Illinois. Born & raised.
My surgeon normally uses 14 or 28 day liquid diets. My BMI put me in the 14 day, but because I carry most of my weight all up front in my belly, he put me on 28 days. He said it was his gift to me.
I'd love to be surgery buddies! 18 days & counting! (I don't count surgery day)

Hi Betsy. I'm going the same day as you. I can't believe it's right around the corner. Unlike you I don't have to do liquid diet before hand. My stats are close to yours. I weighed 257 but right now I'm at 243. My goal is 150. They told me that 80 lbs would be more realistic but I want to prove them wrong.
Where do you live? I'm from Massachusett. Let's be surgery buddies.

Hey Everyone!

My name is Katarina, I'm 26 and I live in Minnesota! Just met with my surgeon today to schedule my VSG! I chose Tuesday, September 2nd, the day after Labor Day! My pre-op liquid diet starts Saturday, August 23rd. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery on or around this date? I would LOVE to have a surgery buddy! Someone who is going through what I am, when I am, so we can help each other out! Also, if anyone has an Instagram, my user name is liberianne_gal. I follow tons of amazing men and women who have went through Weight Loss Surgery and have fantastic stories! Can't wait to create my own!

Hope to talk to some of you soon!
