So I think it can vary greatly depending on your history and when you had surgery.

I just had my follow up and they are having me start back on Prilosec then follow up in 3 weeks. They believe it could be acid lower in the digestive system or an ulcer.

I’m not a year but 9 months and have started having this. And it’s always after I eat. Once or twice during yoga but not strenuous exercise. As if the stretching irritates it. I do think I notice it from eating too fast but plan on checking with the dr when I have my follow up.

Thanks all! I was down another 2 today. Man does it feel good breaking a stall. Woohooo!

I’ve had a few ask me but I just tell them I did keto/low carb, which is basically the truth. I didn’t tell anyone but family.

So I just had to put this somewhere because I have to say the first 80-85 came off quick. These last 15 not so much. I have been in a stall since Thanksgiving going down and up a few at a time while allowing myself to live a little and have some holiday treats. Got most everything out of the house, got my butt to the gym, started tracking carefully again and today finally weighed in at 100 down. Will be 8 months post 2/4 and I would say most of the work is on me at this point. I can absolutely overeat right now if I eat the wrong things. Just making that statement for anyone who is out there wondering what restriction may look like at this point. It’s there but I certainly have to choose right. No more “free ride” LOL

I agree. The husband didn’t care for it but he didn’t dislike it enough to make his own, so he will live.

My opinion being unsolicited bc Im VSG, I’m still commenting. Dumping aside, just stomach real estate considered, at 7 months I don’t suspect I will ever eat a plate of spaghetti again. And I’m glad. I didn’t do this so I could go back to eating that much. I can have a bite or two at this point and be very satisfied and full but not “sick.” I can’t speak to “dumping” but I do get pretty ill from sugar. I used edamame pasta last time I made spaghetti and I liked it. Everyone else tolerated it?

Sounds like some grade A mental illness. I’m sorry you’re putting up with such hateful things from your mom but I understand trying to keep a relationship with a family member who doesn’t realize how badly they hurt you.

I wondered the same thing. And I agree. No syrup on my salad. Ever. Thanks. But it looked great until I knew it was syrupy kale??

lunch at my desk. I know that meat isn’t lean but it needs to be eaten with these giant olives. No judgement. Lol And I still mentally think I can eat way more than I can. Which is a nice change from the olden days?

So are you only on clears then? I’ve heard of this but I only did clears day 1. Every surgeon is different I guess.

Someone here recommended an extra long charging cord. I’m glad. It was great so I didn’t have to get up or move much at first. I didn’t use much. I worked from my phone the same night.

Sure:) I healed well and have a pretty good tolerance for pain so pain wasn’t an issue at all. I felt great after the first week and was off my pain meds. I was hungry and wanted to eat real food, not liquids. I also have a family of boys who ate what they wanted as normal in front of me. I’m not someone who expected or asked anyone to modify their behavior in support of me so everyone will have a different opinion on this. I didn’t expect to feel hungry so soon so I never asked them to be mindful. I was grouchy and irritated and sometimes even felt sad or somewhat “left out”. I’m a huge joker so I made fun of my sad options like a shake or broth while they would have pizza or whatever. I also didn’t do much cooking at all because it was super hard. Smelling real food made me insane. Once I got to solid foods it was downhill and much easier. I follow protein first rule. No carbonation. Drink my water/liquids. And usually only choose the healthiest options. Plus I avoid carbs. I do have a bite of them here and there so I don’t fall off the wagon and binge carby junk but my diet is quite different now. And I’m very satisfied. I’ve adjusted to this lifestyle and am very happy with it. Plus the results have reinforced my choices so it’s helped keep me on track. I’m happy for you! Best of luck

Oh yea that’s what people call it for sure I just think it’s a deceptive term. The desire to eat junk isn’t hunger. But you still are hungry. It’s hard as heck and I was the same with salad. I was sleeved in the heat of summer and was DYING for a cool crispy salad. I was able to eat it about 6 weeks in, I think. It’s funny, it all seemed like an eternity back then but once you’re on solids, it goes much quicker. Liquids was the worst for me. God willing I will never be forced to drink another protein shake in my life. Blech.
