  2. I am also 3 months post VSG and I feel similar. But it comes and goes, I notice it especially on days that I burn more calories and am more active. I think I also need to drink more water which would curb the hunger. VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 192

  5. I have a 1 and 4 yr olds and had tough time and needed lots of help after surgery. You can't lift for 10 days after surgery. Can you have any family or have someone Help out while recovering? Now, 3 months out no Problems and I eat about as Much as my 4 yr old now [emoji4] VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 192
  6. Sleeved 11/22 and down 35 lbs. I know I need to be more strict on plan and exercise more.
  7. I am 3 minutes months out from VSG and could eat that whole plate, I would be extremely full and definitely feel the restriction and uncomfortable, but I could eat that much. (Not that I would )
  8. The P3 are great except the lunchmeat part which is 1/3 of the snack. Also I am worst cook eve so sadly cooking lunch won't work for Me. I will have to try those lean cuisines and maybe get less picky.

  15. I have a hard time eating lunch meat, too slimy or something. Yes I do like Wendy's chili but don't like the beans but wish I did since they are healthy. I wouldn't mind eating the same thing everyday for lunch, just need to find something healthy for everyday.

  17. I work full time and am having hard time with healthy lunch options. Either I have to plan a crockpot chicken meal at home ahead of time, or I end up going to chipotle (chicken salad bowl) or McDonalds (2 plain grilled snack wraps). Any ideas on healthy BariatricPal friendly options that I can either bring to work or stop to grab?
  18. Sleeved 11/22. Feel much better but still get hungry, wondering if this will ever subside. I am losing but he slowed down. Feel better 30 lbs down, no out of breath going up stairs, no sweating, more energy, fit in smaller clothes VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 196

  21. Love the Patches. I couldn't deal with eating Vitamins for first few weeks after surgery so they were lifesavers. I am still using them 2 months post op. VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 196
  22. Totally normal. My big incision hurt til week 4 post op. The more active do you are each day, it might actually get slightly worse before gets better. But it will get better VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 196
  23. We all know the no drinking before/during/after meals guidelines for the most part with the sleeve. But I'm not sure about Protein shakes. I still drink 2 premier Protein Shakes per day and not sure if I have to space those out like a liquid (for me it's no drinking 15 min before and 30 min after eating). Anyone ask their NUT about this or know the answer? VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 196
  24. I am 7 weeks out and didn't feel full until recently. The puréed foods did not make me feel full ever. Now on regular food I can really feel my restriction after eating a small amount. VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 196
  25. I'm just wondering what happens? Vomit/diarrhea or just stomach pain? I had a tiny bit of lettuce in a wrap and thought I had food poisoning but maybe it was letttuce intolerance? VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 196
  26. Yes agree with Rachel412. Wait til you are done breastfeeding. Milk production is drastically less if caloric intake is not sufficient which it won't be during preop and post op. Good luck to you and congrats on your baby! VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 201
  27. I am 6 weeks out (almost) and my pain just went away. I had sever inner deep suture Pain right near My belly button. I couldn't get in or out of cars or sit at my desk it hurt. But it does get better! Hang in there! VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 203
