It’s been a while omg hey guys!
Ok so I could never understand before and after having surgery how people gain back their weight and sometimes more.
I was sleeved over 2 years ago and now that I can eat whatever I want I completely understand the struggle.
I still till this day can’t eat full meals like I would have a little bit of everything and just pick at the plate until I’m done which takes like an hour or two honestly, my problem is snacking. I can eat everything from snickers to Doritos and it’s just so annoying because having the self control is more like mind control. I always tell myself I don’t need it yet sometimes I still end up getting candy or a salty snack.
My lowest weight has been 140, I recently went through a bad break up in April. I was 143 pounds and now I am 165 pounds. I’ve been eating junk food like crazy and even though it’s stress eating I need to find other ways.
Can anyone recommend health Snacks?
In the mean time I’m going to try and “reset” my sleeve. I called my surgeon about this a few days ago before I made this post (what a great guy he actually listened to me for a good hour) and he told me to start over from liquid diet to soft foods then reg and to keep going to the gym.

Thank you much for the kind words and advice I’m currently still in ER.. on my 4th IV drip bag. I called my surgeon and I have to see him. He said he may have to put a balloon in my stomach to slightly stretch it out more because I am probably restricted but he said that’s surprising after nearly 2 years that the stomach didn’t stretch. Procedure is short. Hoping it won’t get to that point but I will find out tomorrow after I go to the hospital where he is and he will look at stomach etc. then he will tell me what we have to do.
Also I was extremely dehydrated. I do feel better physically but I am still scared to eat. Did not even touch the apple sauce the nurse gave me. I am too nervous at this point 😞
Also 2 - This app has changed so much I don’t know how to even reply to comments separately anymore: When I go to gym I only walk on the treadmill now or do weights for my arms because they are flabby 🙄 I take yoga classes and that is not too hard on my body. No waist trainers I have one that a company sent me from Instagram but never touched I did not believe they work I do not use sweatbelts either -
Water... but Water that will be soft on your new stomach, gerber baby water or CORE is what I recommend. I personally had a hard time the first 2 months but I lost 50 pounds right then an there. Poland spring, Fiji, and even alkaline water was a bit too harsh. Omg also Apple sauce! Ice pops! I’m not sure if you like chicken broth but that I recommend as well. So happy for you congrats !!!!

I was sleeved 12/14/2016. I am almost 2 years post opp. Still till this day I throw up on a consistent basis. I can not drink 60oz of Water. I can eat but only certain meats and certain carbs. My body feels weak.
The past 3 weeks have been the worst in quite some time. I have nearly fainted multiple times. During a gym session, after a yoga class and twice while mid-shower (I am pretty sure this was due to steam). I am literally crying as I type this. I never regretted getting my stomach cut until now. I am going to ER in the morning to get IV drip, hopefully I am just very dehydrated and I will feel better and get back to normal but I am so concerned. I want to call my surgeon but my mother told me to wait until we go to ER. Ugh. Not to mention, I have no been able to keep any food down since Tuesday. Today I had 1 grape and threw it up. This is crazy. I have been sipping water and thank god it stayed down today.
If anyone has any advice or has been through something similar please comment or inbox me.

How far along are you bama? Every doctor recommends different things but honestly just go with what your body agrees with. I eat rice and I also eat sushi it’s actually apart of my little diet. I’m nearly 2 years post op and I still can’t eat much so a little rice doesn’t hurt

When I first got sleeved, I could not eat anything. I only sipped Water and sucked on ice for about 2/3 months before my stomach tolerated Jello or a broth. Pretty much before I could eat soft or any Foods. This will pass you by just stay strong, keep hydrated and try to get Protein in if you can but stay hydrated!
I’m almost 2 years post op now and lost my weight. You will be fine and will get past this! -

Ignore the negativity! Do what’s best for you, get the surgery. It’s your life, your body and YOUR health! I support you. 💓
Many people say I should not have gotten the surgery but I feel better and look better so I am happy and that’s what matters.dorothybey84 and Frustr8 reacted to this -
