Hi there. I haven’t been on this forum for a while. Everything that you’re feeling is normal I’m right there with you. I had revision surgery six months ago due to severe Gerd and I can tell you that I am not hungry and I eat because I need to or I’m bored. I have a delayed sense of fullness but is nothing like the sleeve. My surgery was in May and it took months before I even felt that. I do have to be careful because once the fullness does hit is miserable. Even then it is nothing like the restriction that I felt from my sleeve. The valve is gone so it’s all about receptors at this point . Keep watching your portions you know what you need to consume get your protein and eat some veggies and drinking water . I was never hungry with my sleeve either. I hope that helped.

Hi everyone glad to have found you. Happy New Year. I am six month out from sleeve to bypass for severe GERD. I am still learning what this little tummy likes. Unfortunately dumping is frequent and nausea when too much carbs/sugar. My biggest frustration now is not having a trigger of when I am full until it’s too late and then I’m miserable. I just don’t feel the restriction immediately like I did with my sleeve, it’s more of a delayed reaction so I am having to pay more attention. I can say I have lost the 20 pounds I put on so that is a plus. Still have high blood pressure and had to change my meds around since no more long acting meds allowed but my cholesterol is normal for the first time in 7 years! And yes GERD is gone. I feel a little heat with spicy food but it quickly goes away. A plus to this surgery is I can eat salad again!

We get massive hormone dump with the weight loss..changes are expected, mine are still extremely heavy

Sears.... Slimmers been wearing them from the beginning. 2 for $20 Multiple styles...mine are high waisted and go down thighs. Arms too. Me Moi ordered from Amazon holds in all the arm jiggle too

I'm seriously thinking dehydratin. That can turn into a medical emergency really quick !! Drink as much as you can. Did up you call your surgeon? Consider ER Visit...

Set a timer, I had to..only way I could keep up

I waited my year, and yes it hit faster. Didn't feel great afterward so probably won't have often. Wouldn't drink in public not knowing how I would react. Keep to a few sips and be done Might want to reconsider how important is is since if I'm reading right you are only a few months out

I hated meat at first, it just made me too full no matter how little I ate. I kept trying. Switched to chicken thighs as the breast I could't seem to get down. Beef still not that Great. I eat maybe an ounce of meat at a time because it feels me up so fast. I considered myself a vegetarian for a while after surgery but stopped when I could tolerate meat. I was tired of Beans and the carbs were freaking me out!!! Couldn't do eggs either, but no problems now... I have an eggs steamer and love the texture a bit better than boiled. If it doesn't work for You at first , put it Sade and come back to it later.

I'm an RN and manager for busy case management department. Took 4 weeks and would have done one more but I was stir crazy. The tiredness kicked my butt that first two weeks back, but I made it. I pretty much came home and passed out. He time off helped me get through the eating stages with time to adjust.

Hi there I just wanted to check and see how everyone is doing. I have about 25 more pounds to goal. I am not as strict with myself as I should be ... Just broke a three week stall. Down over 120 lbs now... Labs ok Vitamin d low, every thing else ok Flabby skin on arms, thighs, belly. But oh well flap on!! I still can't eat a lot, and my acid reflux can be a beast. Nexium once day helps Still have at least one Protein shake a day...struggling with Water The journey continues.

The time passes so fast it's been a year for me now and I'm still not done losing. Your weight loss is great . If you've gotten off track take a deep breath and start over. I've gotten somewhat lax but I added my Protein shakes back in and trying to get my Vitamins . This tool is still there just let it work . I realize where my issues are and I have to do better

Syntrax naturals or nectars for me 1-2 day

Unflavored Syntrax is my go to. I also love the Syntrax Naturals peach and orange are my favorite Also Syntrax nectars...fruit flavored protein!!! I got tired of the other two sweet Protein shake that I was drinking

I got one in my pre op classes but I haven't used it. I don't order and eat from my husbands plate if we go out to eat

It gets better. Focus on finding things you can tolerate. Smells still sometimes get me but it does get better.
