NervouslyExcited

So I am 4 almost 5 months post op. I’ve been extremely depressed this month and ended up putting 5lbs back on, I did manage to lose the regain. But my weight loss has extremely slowed/stopped. I feel extremely hungry ALL the time! I feel like I have no restriction. Also I’ve been eating junk food with no problems. I know a lot has to do with my mind and willpower, but I’m worried I will never get back on track and that I will never get my mind right. I’m worried my sleeve is broken. Am I just addicted to food?! Has this happened to anyone else? I could really use some advice. Thanks for taking the time to read this post and thanks for the help! yes, I’m still working out....barely, but I go at least once a week.

I am the same way!! I’m thinking maybe I’m eating too fast and not chewing my food well enough??

I eat around 600 calories a day. I do exercise, I go to the gym twice a week and also walk. I try to keep my carbs below 50g a day. I do eat reduced fat potato chips, not every day and when I do my carbs are still under the 50g. That is honestly the only thing I can think of that I eat that is “bad” for you. I stay away from sweets and sugary drinks. Maybe I just need to make an appointment with the nurse...idk. I do track everything. I use an app on my phone.

So I am 10 weeks post-op and feel like I’m not losing like I should! I know everyone’s journey is different, but I feel like I’ve hit a wall and stopped losing. Month one was great! Month two...not bad. So far this month I keep losing and gaining the same 2 pounds! I do have PCOS, could the be contributing to the slower weight loss? I know if I don’t get all my protein in that could cause me to lose lean muscle, but can it cause the scale not to move? Am I eating all the wrong things? Am I eating too much? It seems as though once I was able to eat solids and started to go to the gym my weight loss has slowed. Has that happened to anyone? I know I shouldn’t be focusing on the scale but it’s very frustrating when it doesn’t move. I do take my measurements so I can see if there is a loss there. I just thought I should be farther a long. Should I just toss my scale? Im worried the surgery isn’t working right!! HELP! Thanks for letting me vent!!

On average oe many carbs do you tend to eat in a day?

Maybe talk to your Dr and let them know you don’t feel ready for solids. I would listen to your body! If you need to, just stick with liquids a bit longer until your stomach is feeling better!

I’ve heard pretty much everyone mention hitting stalls. I’m on one right now....I’m hoping the scale moves soon!

Do any ladies have PCOS & are losing weight just fine? Or do you have PCOS & the weight is coming off slowly? TIA

I usually don’t drink tea

Before surgery I had issues going to the bathroom. I took a probiotic daily and that seemed to help. 3 weeks post-op & still having issues trying to going #2. I was given the ok to take my probiotic, doesn’t seem to help. I have tried taking MiraLAX doesn’t seem to help. I have taken ex-Lax & that seems to work but makes my stomach really crampy. I have only gone twice in almost a month! ( I had to take ex-lax both times.) Anyone have any suggestions?! TIA

I could not do artificial sweeteners before! I would get really nauseous & hated the taste. I purchased Stevia in the raw....I tried it today and I didn’t end up getting sick.

I was told to sip & drink slowly and that’s all I could do at first. But now when I feel thirsty I can take a big drink of water! I get at least 64oz in a day. I was also a big water drinker before surgery so I’m not sure if that made a difference?? I am 3 weeks post-op, but was able to start drinking a lot about a week out.

My surgeon didn’t require a pre-op liquid diet or a colon prep. A colonoscopy was required, luckily though I had one a few years before so he just used my records from that one.

So I can’t stand chewable vitamins so I haven’t been taking any. I was finally told I can use the multivitamin patch. So I just got that ordered. I was told I was unable to do vitamins in pill form right now because the body doesn’t absorb them as well. Every Dr. Is different.
