I told my employers that I was having hernia surgery and the weight loss is coming from the pre op blood work that showed that I was diabetic and I just made lifestyle changes. No one needs to know as far as I'm concerned Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I quit on July 4 and had surgery on the 17th. I passed both tests. The one a week before my surgery and the one the day of my surgery. Unfortunately a week after my surgery I was very depressed I started again, I am sooo stupid. So I am now working on quitting AGAIN. Let me be a lesson to you!!

My NUT said well, maybe you're doing everything right. But there was a definite pause like this was the first she ever heard of it. As long as I'm losing I'm happy! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow.Just.Wow. You are amazing and truly an inspiration!! A BIG Congratulations!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I knew I wasn't the only one lol!! But I keep hearing from people I know that they couldn't eat more than a bite or two and were "completely stuffed" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you @! That was helpful, I'm trying to figure it out, looking for signs it's just not happening right now. Maybe too early. I'll keep measuring like I have been and hopefully one day I'll learn to know what signs I'm looking for. Again, thank you for responding. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't tried mine, mostly because it allows me to order from the kids menu and its a little hard to find healthy things on the kids menu. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing and you are an inspiration to us newbies!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank for responding, As I said I'm really not looking for that gut busting need to do undo my pants feeling, just feeling in my stomach. My question was basically when did feeling come back. I probably didn't word it correctly. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just don't understand how my plan is sooo different. One of the many recipes I was encouraged to eat is an egg (any way comfortable) with half a piece of toast. Soft foods included crackers and toast. I just can't get over the differences in plans. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't feel anything is what I'm trying to explain, not hungry, not full, not satisfied. I stop because I know my pouch is only so big, that is the only thing that stops me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a month out and allowed all solid foods as long as it agrees with me. I have had no problems at all eating anything I've incorporated. Last night I had Boston Market. Quarter white chicken with steamed veggies and garlic dill new potatoes. I concentrated on the chicken but I did eat a bite or two of the sides. I didn't eat it all, obviously. But the only thing stopping me is the knowledge that my pouch is small. I don't think I'm asking the correct question, I just would like to know from the people who didn't feel full or hungry if the feeling in their stomach ever came back.

Thank you for responding, here's the thing I have never "dumped" before and I don't get any other type of sign that I'm done. I know on at least two occasions that I probably over did it and nothing. I could have kept eating and probably would've eaten my whole meal but I know my stomach is only so big so I did stop but is was way more food than I have eaten in the past few weeks, if that makes any sense. I hear over and over again how people can only eat a few bites and they are stuffed, I'm just wondering if I will ever feel that again? Does sensation come back in the ol' gut or am I doomed to measure my food for eternity? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello Everybody, I have a question I hope you can help with. I had RNY one month ago and I never fell full. I am measuring my food so I don't overeat. On the flip side I'm not really hungry. I have read about nerves being severed and such, seems plausible. Also, when discussing my concerns with my surgeon he explained that some people have more scar tissue/swelling so not to be concerned. So here is my question...when I do start feeling hungry again will I also start to feel full? I'm not looking for that "I need to unbutton my pants" type of full, just satisfied. Will that feeling come back? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgeons have sense of humors too, but that just my opinion. I would meet with him first, then make a decision. If you don't like him/her find someone you do like. Again, just my lowly, humble opinion. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was allowed blended chili but no tomato soup. But that was in my list of foods. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

chicken marinated in Greek seasoning, grilled with some grilled veggies!! I am still in the soft food stage so my veggies are REALLY mushy. It's kind of like a deconstructed chicken kabab!! And I add a little hummus when I eat it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg Dub!! I laughed so hard!! I felled a little bad for her.... Not really Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Honestly, coffee was the only thing I have cheated with and I'm only 3 weeks out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello all!! I was told Water empties the pouch pretty quickly so 5 mins before I eat and 30 mins after (which kills me). One thing I have learned is everybody's surgeon is soooo different I find it unbelievable Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hit the button every time I could, lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Biotene (spelling) was very useful, it really helped with dry mouth! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I told everybody I was having surgery for a hernia and if anyone asks about the weight loss I'm just going to tell them my blood work from the pre op showed me very alarming information and made a change in lifestyle. No one needs to know if I don't want them to. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
