Totally normal. I didn't feel restriction until I hit solid foods. I feel restriction like crazy now. I can be full from one piece of string cheese, or a small pickle... Etc. for hours. I think liquids and purees to some extent are like slider foods.

Very typical and not talked about enough. However you can still feel fullness just of a different kind. Occasionally I can still feel the VSG restriction with very solid things. But now it’s mostly a lower abdomen heaviness and disinterest in the food that warns me when I’m done. Be patient and you’ll notice your signals eventually ❤️

Size 20 on the left and sz 6 on the right!
Best decision ever!

I’m just 6 months post op and I went from a size 11 Wide to a 10 regular. It’s good that I’m not restricted to the Wide sizes as there’s a bigger variety of shoes I can now choose from.

Had gastric bypass in March 2015 258lbs to 118lbs
Size 24 to size 1 or 3 jeans

Dr. Vuong is filming a reality show about weight regain after WLS or something like that.

He’s on Instagram promoting it. I watched some of his early videos when researching WLS. His cursing really made me stop watching his videos and the fact that half of the things he recommends my doctors did not recommend. I do realize all doctors have different plans, but chose not to watch his videos based on that.

Hello everyone
I've been MIA for awhile because I was to lazy to locate my login information. Lol! All is well though. I'm almost 2 years out and I still love my mini bypass. I currently weigh129lbs and I'm still losing weight. Here's a before/after pic. The 1st one was taken 2 days after surgery in Tijuana. My after pic was taken November 2018. I'm glad to be back. Pleae let me know if you have any questions regarding MGB

About three and a half years post sleeve 😁

-95lbs

I also get the feeling he's a failed surgeon. Don't know if it was fallout from his League City TX practice? Or if it was more. But on his healthgrades he got pisspoor ratings. So I wouldn't go to him and let him cut on me!
I used to love his "head" work vids on YouTube, but dunno about now. Haven't seen too much to keep me coming back for more. Think he fell into the dark hole of "Tony Robbins" motivational speaker show ponies wannabees. I also don't see that he's practicing in Arizona anymore at the Lovelace Clinic?

I used to follow him on YouTube but he started moving away from bariatric related videos and started pushing what seems to be pyramid scams. He was a funny guy but he's changed directions lately with his product sales.

6 months post op 65lbs down 20 more to go feeling great

Me 7 weeks out 46lbs down. Since those pics I lost 10 lbs

168 lbs down high weight 451

Been 4 years now since my surgery and I am loving every single day of my life now!

I don’t take many pics of myself but over lost 118 pounds in a year. The first pic is a week or so after surgery and the second is a few weeks ago. It’s changed my life.

I’ve taken maybe 3 pictures of me and my son over his lifetime-he’s 13 : (
I’m looking forward to having more than 3 for the next 13 years

First is one year face to face. Second is my heaviest vs my lowest weight.

After

9.5 month checkin...size 28 to size 10. Down 152 lbs. Loving life!

Freeze a Protein Shake and pretend it's ice cream!!! You don't need that jerk, you are going to move on and find someone who loves the whole package. 😍 My ex told me I was getting too fat (right after having a baby!) and he left me. Best damn thing that could have ever happened!

I am so sorry. But let me tell you. Surgery is a tool and you get out of it what you put into it. I am down 120lbs since March 22, 2018. Changed my eating habits, portion sizes, no alcohol and nothing fried. I walk a lot but not exercise in the gym but want to start that to tone up. Prove him wrong! Do it for you and no one else. Be the best you for you! Take care... let him see what he is missing out on

I don't work out often, but I make an effort to walk.
I don't have a ton of restrictions on certain things. They're my sliders. I do eat salads in an effort to balance my choices. I indulge when I want but otherwise I have a pretty boring clean diet.
I eat around 800- 1000 intermittent fasting days, 1400 when counting non intermittent fasting days, who knows when I don't count.
Have you checked in with your NUT for a new plan lately?

Yikes! I guess this was partly why I was so blunt and open about the whole thing. I’d rather people have the correct information than speculate.

That said, it really is no ones business what we do with our bodies, let alone their place to comment on them. We do not owe them explanations or justifications for our appearance/decisions.

This is one thing that grinds my gears a bit. Just because I’m open about having surgery, does not mean it’s open season on commenting about my body. 🤬
