I am 22 days out and I also struggle with cooking. i can only have puree foods right now, but I have enjoyed making my own pinto bean or black bean puree with onions, bell peppers, and ground turkey. I still have head hunger when I see restaurants, but not physical hunger. The struggle is real.

I'm 2 months out - down 30lbs since surgery - fantastic -- it's not overly hard, no pain, but it's just no fun - I hate cooking, I certainly know how to cook, I just don't find any enjoyment and avoid at all cost -- so having to be constantly trying to learn new recipes, then to find out, ptewwwy taste buds have changed and another gross meal --/ what a weird journey, but definitely no regrets - I'm so looking forward to seeing me thinner -- just not having much fun right now

Hello fam,
just a Lil update on my life . 7 months post op. I was sleeved Dec 5. I am officially divorced now. I am happy n really enjoying me in this new bod. The surgery wasn't the reason for my divorce ,my husband was a caterer cheater , lol. But the surgery made him feel that now I was a threat in the marriage because I was getting attention . But it was his insecurities n lied that kept him from appreciating the woman he had. So , hell with him, I'm single as a dollar bill now.
I am 7 mos post op and down 90 lbs ( 89.7 to be exact). I weigh 153 lbs and I am 5'7. I now wear a size 4 in women's clothing and even fit into size 2 Vera wang dress today, NSV for me. My surgeon set my goal at 150 lbI feel so good about the choice I made to have this surgery and I would do it 10 more time if I had to. Enjoy the pics and good lock to everyone .

Hello everyone it's been a while since I've been here,came today to show my results im 100lbs down 374lbs to 274lbs

Nothing. My tastes are pretty much the same. I make better choices.
I will say things I didn't like before I really hate now, like yogurt. I don't waste calories on food I don't love.

Have you tried doing cardio? I know running burns belly fat & congratulations on your weight loss so far [emoji2]

I hate to say this, but your stomach might not change shape. It may get smaller, but every WLS patient I know still has their basic body shape. I've always had a big stomach. Now that I'm nearly three years past surgery, I still have a big stomach. I weigh a lot less & my stomach is smaller, but it's still big for my size. For other people, their hips are still big, maybe their butt is still big, whatever. I hope this makes sense. Good luck!

Dr. Mathew Weiner does a very good video about this and explains it very well.

At two weeks I was able to drink 3 sizeable gulps at a time. I would finish a 32oz Powerade Zero in about 40 minutes. I was worried that I was taking in too much too fast and that the sleeve wasn't giving me the restriction I needed. Needless to say, I was worried about nothing. If anything, I am fortunate, because I never had trouble staying hydrated and my restriction is in full effect when I eat.
Good luck to you!

It's really a weird sensation. Water started to get easier and easier to get it in without having to take little sips. I find when there is no food in my stomach I can drink quite a bit of water, No gulps but regular drinks. I drink a Protein Drink with out the wait time before or after I've had water.
However, now that I'm eating regular food, i do have to wait the 30mins to an hour after eating or it does hurt.
My guess, liquid passes through with out any substance.

Thank you so much, I feel so much better now lol.

No, you are not stretching your stomach drinking Water. Remember at two weeks out your stomach is healing. You will gradually be able to consume more and more as the swelling from your surgery goes down. Once you start eating solids, the restriction will kick in. Promise.
For now, keep focusing on staying hydrated. You're doing a good job!

I felt a bit nauseous but they took care of it right away. My pain was tolerable and I was able to go home the next morning. First night home was rough. Threw up once. Pain was a bit worse. Then each day got better. Nothing I couldn't handle and I had no gas pains from the CO2. Can't wait to hear how you did!

Congratulations!! Come back and update!!

Please stop judging. We have ALL binged and overate, then felt that guilt. We wouldn't have needed weight loss surgery to begin with if we weren't all guilty of this. food has always controlled us. It's our drug of choice. No surgery will change our way of thinking and coping. A therapist will help. Also try Food Addicts Annonymous or Overeaters Anonymous. Today is a new day, you got this!

My surgery is on June 6

Congratulations!!
