So you got to 300lbs only eating 2000 calories a day? If you were not eaten more than 2000 cals a day at all why did you need the sleeve? I would agree that if you went the sleeve route, you must have been eating more than 2000 calories sometimes, as I did not think the sleeve is for people who are able to eat normal amounts, I dont know though, but i agree I have friends who can eat the earth and still be slim, I do not know how fatty their internal organs are though

There's no need to call someone else's idea dumb lol it wasn't even my idea ha but reading comments. That was rude saying you disagree covers it lol. Its not a dumb idea. Some people that works. Some it doesn't.

You really think a surgeon would waste his time to take you into theatre to pretend to do surgery? Like what.. He will just put you under and then go golfing? Then be back intime when you are coming round? I just want to see what your logic in, in how this would be possible? I would listen to my heart though my heart told me to change my surgeon and i did . you have to trust the person who is goign to ake this change for you Dont you think of threatening him or saying " i will get an edescopy to make sure you did it right?" who would take such a risk lol your going under and the last thing i wanted to do was to make my surgeon think im doubting him or his capabilities . Goodluck

As long as you are following the plan given your fine. Have a look around and use the search tool , most of us have felt the same. I am 10 weeks in and not much past 24 lbs lol so id be praising the high heavens if i was you ha just keep doin what your doing sticking to the plan getting all your liquid in, and are you sticking to the right amounts of food?

Can I ask what makes you do rny for 50lbs as apposed to vsg just curious? I have over 100 to lose but I thought rny was too drastic for that amount though I know a lot do

What are you eating and how much? For me i needed to focus on liquids and eating came after i had a good routine, but now 10 weeks i will drink alot of my water before allowing my self breakfast, then allot of my water before allowing my self lunch and then after that i only have one bottle of water left. this works for me. Tea?

Intresting you say this, thats the only thing i have done differently since my stall and it really helped! would love to know what you eat

Let me know how you get on! How will 5.2 work as i think on the 2 days its under 500 cals i wonder if we eat much over that anyway lol or will you do no food those two days? goodluck!

Hi.. I have been thinking today.. Can I go back to shakes for a little while? Not to break a stall, I am lucky my stall is over and I am 3lbs down since friday, the only thing I have done differently is.. CONSTANTLY EATING lol not mindlesy eating i weigh everything, but spend most my day eating that has helped for some reason. Anyway its been stressfull, food, planning what to eat, stalls changing things up constantly , my tummy sometimes feels irritated my minds irritated. I also realised my weightloss was faster before i had surgery lol ( i know i know its the keeping it off that was the issue) but i dont know.. i love my sleeve for getting me back on the weightloss train as i ws just exploading. But.. I am dreaming about juice fasting ( dont shout i know you low carbers are against things like that well my plan is not low carb lol i know juices are just suger etc etc . ) so dont lecture me but it worked in the past. but anyway im not going to do that, so i want to go back to shakes. and have abit of a boost in loss. I love eating by the way, this sleeve has really made me crave healthy things that would not have crossed my mind , and i never used to enjoy the taste of food because i ate so fast. When I saw someone, a stranger at a pub we started talking because she interrupted my convo about bmi with a friend and she said " i did shakes and lost 56lbs in 6 weeks" i almost fell of my chair she gained back 14lbs obviouslly there is always usually a regain. Anyway it just made me feel slow So whats the longest time i can do just shakes for?

Your not that young. I can't see why there would be an issue. My surgeon does over 18 :). I was 26. If I can help with any questions go ahead. Your getting control over your life early. You should be proud of yourself

Goodluck MX . You know what you expect from your marriage. No two peoples expectations are the same. So you deserve to find a balance for you both so you can both be happy. Its 4am here so if my message didnt make sense I will blame typing in the dark. All the best on your journey. ( with the drinking I meant id do it in secret so they didn't know. But I would still support them and not drink around them were all different maybe he could not eat them around u.

There's no need to question me. This post isn't about me. And sure. It's just you what I said means I don't think marriage is for better or for worse lol. Okay cool. I'm totally not willing to ever give any thing up. Be cause that clearly is exactly what I'm saying lol thank you for the lesson. I'm leaving this post now so you can discuss that without me.( Please note the sarcasm.. You don't need to educate me on giving things up in a relationship. Because I have. It doesn't always work. You do you. I'll do me.

You look amazing. Some people do not know how to mention it. And some are jealous. I got so irritated and asked a friend did u not notice I've lost weight. He said "I have but I didn't want to say anything because then I know youl end up losing more weight "? I'm obese. I won't be losing more because of your compliment I'm losing more anyway lol. Anywsy when I've ran out of these shopping ingredient's. I'm going to copy your eating plan. Your smashing it

How old is your son ? For me there is a difference between those named comparisons. But I won't go into that as I understand were you are coming from. Your right food is an addiction. But if I was him yes I would want to be supportive but I'd think " you met me eating this crap. You were eating this crap now you changed you think you can now force me to change? No thanks if I want to come onboard with your healthy diet... I will. When I am ready. I'm not in your head space yet. And you did it when you were ready so why try and force me?" I'm not judging you I try to get every one on board with the diet I'm on over the years lol because I start to think this is the only way. But then I realise other people can have junk and b healthy too. If your son is of the age that he chooses to eat that food. You can do your part. Educating him about food. Portion control. Balanced diet. Making super yummy healthy food. Your right to be concerned. I don't want my kids to go down this route. So I keep them active. They have a healthy relationship with food. Very lean . they still eat junk at parties etc but they chose to have a couple of bites of cake and then put it down and move on. If I say they couldn't have it theyd stuff the whole thing in lol. As your husband sees your changes he will probably connect the dots himself and lose some intrest in junk food. I just want to say. Im no expert and I'd never really advise or whatever on someone's marriage. You know him and yourself. Your feelings are valid and you clearly care about your family. Keep showing that love and he may come around. I know some people want instant changes and do "how about you swap those chips for some romantic time " lol works for some. Good luck ( And yes I'd still drink in the house but just hide it . I wouldn't quit drinking for ever just because my partner can't drink)

Can I know what your daily eating is like please. What foods and quantities please. I'd like to try this. Though when I'm out I don't know hw I can fit in eating that often.

How about going to your doctor first before deciding to stop any meds. You may have underlining issues. I wouldn't wait till I see my surgeon next month if it was me.

What he eats is upto him. The house is both of yours . its your responsibility t choose to avoid eating it. Though I understand your worried for his health. Regarding your son. I'm confused why he isn't onboard with feeding him healthier. I would ask him why. Pick your battles wisely or you will never get heard. Hugs

I was just curious about this. I often look on sites for vsg posts and pics of vsg food portions etc. I have been coming across those intermittent fasting after VSG, Their portion size is still the same as any other vsg paitent, so i wondered like the one who fasted for 20 hours in her window she wont get in as much calories as someone who is not a vsg paitent in their window, so would they not be eating too small? Is their negatives of fasting & being a vsg patient? Anyone had experiance. I used to do intermittent fasting but did not think it was possible post . Thanks

Well, perhaps its because LGBT people are on the main forum? I have not yet encountered a specifc LGBT ISSUE connected to my sleeve, so I post in the main forum We are around

Hope your surgery went well

@dreamynow You are smashing it , wow amazing, can I ask what your daily eating is like

What are your 3 meals and quantities please? I am 2 months post and told to eat 3 meals a day, but I am hungry lol

Good luck with your surgery

Time to get creative with intimacy , everyone heals at their own rate so do lots of romantic stuff with each other, and the time will fly and you will be fit in no time

Hi I had no drain and no staples, were yours are just surgical glue, so I do not know how its supposed to look, but maybe you could get an appointment at your regular doctors office to see if they can take a look? I know that would put my mind at ease if it were me. Hope you feel better soon. Edited because I said I had no staples but i have no idea about the inside haha just the outside
