Good job you!! Your post made me go check the BMI chart and I am now ALSO not obese - just overweight!!! I'll take it!

Hi friends! Just got to overweight today!! I am 5’2”. I weighed 235lb on surgery day, and today I weighed 160.8. It has been 6 months 2 weeks and 3 days since surgery (August 17th). What I have learned:

1) you will still be hungry
2) you will still have cravings
3) you will still love food
4) you pretty much can’t eat and you have to always be aware with what you are putting in your mouth. My favorite food is pizza and I’ve had it about 4 times since. I loved Pasta, but I never ever eat it alone like I used to.

This way of living has been forced upon me because of surgery. Before I would binge, now I mindfully eat always. The first couple months were the worst. I was depressed and missed food so much, but I stuck with it Bc I didn’t want to feel like a failure. Now it is a habit to eat the way I do. Please keep that in mind. Force this habit on you from the beginning.

I am 5 months post-op. I have lost 67 pounds (currently I weigh 168lbs), but I am still obese! Ugh!

I am 7 weeks in. I still have no idea what to eat. I’ll tell you what I ate yesterday.

Morning: 1 cup fairlife milk (120 cals)
Lunch: 2 cheese ball Snacks (140 cals)
Snack: Plum
Snack: 1/2 cup turkey chili
Dinner: 4 thin slices of steak
Snack: 1/2 cup Wendy’s chili

See? I just suck at eating. Also, I don’t know what to eat if I’m out. I want something easy.

Hi friends! I am 5 months post-op. I am soooooooo exhausted all the time. All I do is think about napping and sleeping. Probably extremely dehydrated as well because I rarely drink. Should I incorporate caffeine daily? I take my Vitamins daily. Eat around 900-1000 calories a day. Just tired of being tired.

I am 5 months post-op tomorrow. Since December 17th-January 16th I only lost 6lbs! Is that normal?

If you just got VSG, you can take normal Centrum multivitamin! That’s what my doctor said. I use the swallowable ones. I hated chewing those stupid, expensive Bariatric ones!

I am a teacher, so I have been on winter break. I cannot wait for my usual eating patterns to return. Unfortunately, I do not eat in normal intervals when I don’t have work. Then, I get starving, and then make bad choices ugh!

Anyone else have this problem?

Hi! I had my surgery August 17th. I lost 45lb since surgery. I am 25 years old. Just know that my numbers might look good, but I am mentally unhappy. I miss food. We all have our struggles. Perhaps I am depriving myself too much. Take it slow. You’ll be fine. Just listen to the sleeve

I bought my students fresh, warm Bagels for our Christmas party. I really wanted one so bad and was thinking about having half. However, I decided to just eat my Protein Bar first. Now I’m full and satisfied! No bagel for me!
Therefore, if you’re craving something, just eat a Protein bar first, or anything, and see if you still want that item.

4 months post-op and still learning. Also, I don’t trust my sleeve in public with new foods 😂😂😂😂

I still do not trust my sleeve at 4 months post-op. If I try something new and I’m not home, it can be a nightmare! So embarrassing!! No McDonald’s for me or pizza 😭😭😭 my sleeve hated it!!!!

I was super nervous too! Thought I was gonna die. You’ll be fine. They do this alllll the time! Good luck! Very happy for you!!

I have never been a Water drinker, but since surgery, it has gotten worse! I drink about 16fl ounces of water a day!!! I just seem to drink when I’m thirsty, and I’m not thirsty too often. How is water going for everyone else? Tomorrow I will be 17 weeks post op.

Sleeved on August 17th, and I was 235lb that day. I am currently 180.2lb. Progress is slowing down now 😭

What’s funny is that I followed the diet perfectly. I only had to do it for a week. I lost 10lbs. However, my liver was still fat 😂 I know it’s hard but you can do it!!! Try to become a hobbit and have no social life it makes it easier
