I’m will be 2 months post op next week on the 18th so I’m only down 25 pounds but the scale doesn’t seem to be moving. It’s like I gain a pound lose a pound is any one else experiencing that? Also some time I feel like I’m not eating enough and I read that can also slow the process down...I usually measure my food now but I’m hungry 2 to 3 hours later and to skip a meal is not as easy as it was before the hungry pains are different it’s like I have to eat when I’m hungry because it’s uncomfortable 😣 any support would be appreciated

Hey 👋 how is everyone doing that had surgery in July I’ll be 3 months post op October 18th I’m down 30 pounds from my heights weight 287 I’ve been between 258 -260 for about a week now...I don’t know about any one else but I still have some cravings and hunger...my sleeve is still pretty tight and I honestly never ate to be full before surgery and it’s the same now I literally take 2 or 3 bites off everything and that’s it’s...i can get through about a liter of water a day hoping to be back to gallon within a year...I’m still doing one protein shake a day I really should do 2 but I sometimes think I’m lactose now my stomach I kinda sensitive to dairy products...I’m still struggling with gym I’m still shy to work out in front of other people and I still don’t have confidence...some days are better than most especially having depression..I knew the surgery wouldn’t cure depression so I still go to therapy once a month..I still haven’t been transparent with my friends and family about having vsg and I don’t even think i need to I went through this entire process by myself and I just can’t handle the negatively..

I will be 2 months post op next week and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing frequent urination? It like anything I drink goes right through me...I still haven’t had any complications but this is actually annoying even at night I get up to pee i can’t even hold it if I wanted to..if I have to go I have to go lol

I don’t see how it’s possible unless your drinking water all day...I use to drink a gallon of water a but now I can only get through 4 to 5 bottles and I drink most of my protein as well I go to bathroom every 30 minutes and at night

Do you think this is really zero cards?

I didn’t know that I thought that it was going to be impossible unless your eating poorly..going to they gym or even getting out the house is a struggle for me..I was hoping that the weight loss was going to cure my depression but it hasn’t 😞 I’m glad I lost 25 pounds but I’m always lonely and it’s impossible to binge eat..I was so motivated but afterwards but now I’m kinda sad again

No there 16 oz and no that’s wasn’t advise by my nutritionist I just came up with myself I figured I would lose more weight that way.. I have a appointment at the end of the month I will be following up with them then I honestly think I’m not eating enough my liquids and protein shakes go down fine... how many calories are we supposed to eating a day anyways?

I try not to eat more than 1000 calories a day and I drink about 4 to 5 bottles a day of water... I was walking about 30 minutes a day but these past 2 weeks my energy has changed I’ve been sleeping from 330 to 10 pm after work I’m exhausted I wasn’t this tired after surgery I don’t know what changed

I wonder why that happens? I’m glad I work from home because i have to go 15 or 20 minutes after I drink anything

I still have a long way to go but I’m so much happier and healthier now

I know I haven’t posted in awhile but I’ve been so busy I’m a month and a few weeks post op my surgery was July 18th I weighed 287 that morning Im 264 as of today no complications or diarrhea...everything went as planned I was even able to pass my swallowing test with out throwing up...I did have some nausea when switching to soft and solid food but nothing major and I’ve thrown up 1 time I tried to eat spam and my pouch didn’t like it lol but I’ve learned my full feelings and I pretty much get the hiccups when I full now and I always eat my protein first to fill up fast I usually eat every 2 to 3 hours and I drink about 4 to 5 bottles of what a day I will say I’ve tried to eat takeout and it’s not the same I get full way to fast and gassy and it’s hurts anything that’s processed doesn’t go down as easy and takes forever to digest so take out food is a big no right and cards usually get stuck and take forever to go down to as well but I know that’s going to change over the next few months i just started working out a few days ago trying to get back into a routine I’m happy with my overall decision and glad I did this for myself I’m hoping to get down to 220 by the end of the year

Thanks 🙏🏾

My time is winding down my surgery is Wednesday getting closer and I’m nervous . I’m still struggling with some depression and I couldn’t be my emotions but I believe I’ve done all I could about my weight on my own. I’ve always been heavy even though people try to excuse it because I look good (not trying to toot my own horn) but people always says that it was okay for me to be big because I’m not ugly but besides that the sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and asthma has taken over my life. I’ve gather some great tips from this website and YouTube and I just pray that I make it with out any complications..I choose not to tell my parents or any of my friends because I can’t handle the excuse or negativity I just can’t anymore I’m feeling a little guilty as well but I’ll get over it

My surgery went great 👍 Hw 287 Cw 264

I weighed 287 day of Surgery and I’m 264 now I’m a little over a month post op

Good morning everyone I had my surgery Wednesday so far so good I haven’t been thrown up..I was able to keep pass the swallowing test with out getting sick I have no pain and my stomach area is a little sore especially were they had the drain located and I’m drinking water and liquids every 15 minutes if I continue to do good I plan on going back to work Monday

6 days post op and I’m on a full liquid diet now but I’m still afraid to eat...I had grits this morning my stomach is just weird I can swallow but once it is in there I can feel rumbling and I get scared so I stop eating so I haven’t felt fullness yet...I’m able to drink my liquids and protein shakes fine I still haven’t thrown up sense surgery..I don’t think my stomach likes food just yet ...I need advice 🤷🏾‍♀️

Has anybody else been concerned about losing to much weight? I’m 6 days post op and I’m down 13 pounds so far and I’m already off my blood pressure medicine and haven’t had to use my nebulizer..of course I choose the procedure mostly because my healthy was failing but the pass few days I’ve been thinking about losing to much weight..I was hoping to lose 80 pounds that’s it hoping to get down to 200 and keep some of my curves...I never wanted to be skinny but I can’t stop thinking about it especially after today the guy told me I have no control over how much weight I lose...how do you maintain your weight once you meet your goal?

I choose not to tell any of my friends or family members only my boyfriend and co workers...the only reason why I told my co workers because there opinions are irrelevant and I only have to deal with them 8 hours a day..a week before my surgery I was sent to work from home so now I just need to recover and move on Good Luck 👍🍀

I had the hiccups lol I’m still trying to figure this out I feel like I’m not getting enough food

@Charlie75 that I would be I would be neverous if i weigh anything less than 180..I’m calling my Dietician Today sense it’s bothering me so much

I’ve been trying to sleep but my back is aching and my side it’s not painful just annoying I’m 6 days post op is this normal?

@Taelael I’m hoping to not go any lower than 180-185..I carry my weight in my boobs and butt I do have a stomach but it doesn’t hang and I haven’t had any children yet my doctor said I shouldn’t have that much skin to be concerned about but I’m saving now for a breast lift and tummy tuck next year just in case

@MissSimpson thanks great I was hoping to lose 45 between now and December...my friend never met her weightloss goal she went from 240 to 180 and that was it but she want disclose how she stopped it she a curvy to but I hoping to lose some butt and boobies but not to much

I’m day 4 post op and I’m moving up to full liquids as of today...in my paper work it says that I’m aloud grits thin consistency...I made some but I’m afraid to eat them lol my 2 week diet was very strict and the post op diet seems to be moving right along I can even have cream of wheat now if I want what do you guys think? So I just stick to liquids for a few more days or follow the book?
