Oh keep us posted ! Also wish you the best on your journey:)

Hello I’m sorry to hear this, I will be honest i have zero restriction and haven’t in quite some time, in my opinion Esg only helped for about 6 months or so. I so far have had success with the keto diet and that is how I’ve been losing weight. I wish you luck and God bless

Oh wow ! Is he in the states? If you don’t mind me asking

Thank you so much for your reply

Edit: then (I’m mobile and don’t know how to edit it) lol

Has anyone had a endoscopic gastric sleeve and the. Ended up getting the transitional gastric sleeve sorry if I’m wording this strangely. I got EGS done about 8 months ago lost 40 and gained back 15 I feel no restriction and I feel like it was a waste of money, might work for some but not for me! I’m not sure if I even qualify for Gastric sleeve as my bmi is under 40 but if anyone has gone through this advice is greatly appreciated!

Interesting , I’ll have to go see him and ask. God willing that is not the case I had to go through the surgery without any pain meds as I’m allergic to most of them and I don’t think I’ll be able to go through that pain once more :( but thank you for your suggestion I don’t have any social media and the only way I can hear about other patients with this surgery is through this app

Still the same honestly just watching every calorie I put in my mouth. Feeling restriction but not any where close to what it was at the beginning but thank God I’m not eating like I was before surgery.

Got it thanks ! Im new to this community and I’m using a mobile app so I’m still try to figure out the ins and outs

This is the ESG forum isn’t it ? but yes there is no grherlin reduction so it’s a little harder for ESG patients, unfortunately my surgeon didn’t really press the issue on the no drinking after 30 minutes so I didn’t take it too seriously I won’t lie. The surgery is pretty new in the states so there isn’t much information at all

I’m following the guidelines except for the waiting 30 after eating to drink I know it’s bad but I just can’t shake that off lol ever since I got of soft food diet my weight loss has been stalled completely I figured I would feel restricted less and less over the years but it’s only been 5 months!

I’m about 5 months out and don’t feel nearly as restricted before and can also eat more food. Did anyone go through this ??

I miss salad so much! Craving a Greek salad Lol

Can I ask you all what one of your regular meals looks like now I’m about to finally get out of the soft food stage after 2 months and start moving towards harder foods I’m super curious what that’s like

I’ve already had the ESG surgery I just wanted to know the difference because they seemed to similar how are you doing three years out if you don’t mind me asking thanks for the response mountaingal
