I think that you are reaching for Snacks because you're stressed---just like the good ol' days, before WLS.
Usually when some one is constipated there's no room for more food. I'm think'n your hunger is the dreaded head hunger. That doesn't make it any easier to live with, but maybe just a wee bit more understandable.--and when something is understandable, it is manageable.
I think a call your bariatric team is warranted. If it concerns you enough to stress about then it's worth a call. They will be able to guide you because the "know" you.
Please keep us posted. We care about you. You know that.

I know the "20 minutes to feel full" thing works for most people, but at 9 months out I still wolf down my meals, and that isn't going to change. It hasn't inhibited my progress in any way, and unless it is cheating slider foods (which I avoid), I feel full at the same rate regardless of how fast or slow I eat.

Uh you feel like you're being stabbed because in fact you were stabbed there and yes you have to be VERY Careful getting up sitting down etc and rely on your arm strength rather than your abs to do that for several weeks. liquid Tylenol helps, do NOT lift ANYTHING. If the pain gets worse instead of a little bit better each day then call your Dr ASAP because it could be a sign that you have pulled your incision or it's getting infected. Otherwise take care of yourself and don't overdo it. You just had major surgery, and yes it is going to take time to heal.

Hi,
I had my VSG same day as you and all is great except the sameness pain you describe. Stabbing pain on the right, vey sore when I bend down, do stairs etc. nights are fine, day is worse when I move so trying to take it easy, walk as much as possible.
I am lucky I have had no other awful experiences, had no nausea nor vomiting, and apart from tightness in the chest when sipping fluids all is good.
All the best!

Hi Everyone
I am from Melbourne and am starting a support group.
Sometimes you can feel alone not knowing many or any other people that have had weight loss surgery, and there are always so many questions that we have and support that we need.
Sometimes it helps just to talk to someone that can relate to you
I would love to hear from others in Melbourne, Victoria that are interested in this support group.
Hope to hear from you soon

Try to start slowly exercising. It will help. I started the gym 4 months after surgery and I can't believe how much it has helped define my results. I added a pic for you to see
