You mean like having a "food funeral" of a bunch of bad foods while you could still have them? Sure, that's common.

I'm with you, I feel hungrier every day, I also know what you mean about the ghrelin, I told my surgeon back in August that I think he missed the part that suppresses the ghrelin because I am still feeling hungry, I have been eating not only more in quantity of each meal but eating more often throughout the day and I'm afraid of having a major slowdown. I'm hoping it's just our bodies transitioning into winter mode and we all pick up where we left off before the holidays

Hang in there, it is temporary. I was dreaming of pizza and cheeseburgers in the hospital. The TV commercials were my worst enemy at home. 8f you can DVR your shows and fast forward past the commercials. I was hungry until I got to the pureed stage. It definitely will get better. Sip, sip, sip your Water and protien shakes. I am 11 weeks out, obviously still haven't had that piece of pizza but down 45 lbs and am ok without it. Stay strong

Me too! Never had an issue with Lexapro and sleeve and I “feel” when I’ve forgotten to take it because I start grinding my teeth at night, so I would know if it wasn’t absorbing properly.

Thank you!!

For those of you who are about to have WLS surgery - Just wanted to give you a little encouragement. In June of last year i was in a size 48 to 50 Shorts and a 3 xl shirt - So i ordered new work shirts for my company and Today I am in a xl shirt and size 38 waist shorts
Not only is this a great feeling but i also can bend over, I can do cross fit, I can F@#ckin move again!
So if you have any doubts about the surgery Put on your big girl panties and get it done, Because the reward is well worth the bumps and bruises!
Like NIKE says JUST DO IT!

I got mine from Lauren’s Hope. I’ve attached pictures but you can customize the info on most of the ones they offer. Sign up for emails and get a discount. Reasons for one include no blind NG as it can perforate the stomach wall because your anatomy has changed. NSAIDS like ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and bleeding, and sugar can lead to dumping syndrome. Also, mine says LSG instead of VSG because they’re different scarring patterns.

So, I've experienced quite a few NSVs as of recent. I can cross my legs (not super comfortably yet, but hey); I'm in a size 14/16, down from a 26; and I see my collarbones. Yay!
2 1/2 months out - 50 lbs lost post surgery and an additional 54 lbs was lost before (on my own, July 2019).
I'm walking fast and exercising amazingly. This, all from the woman who got winded walking down the block to her car.
Life is good!

I sometimes put a 1/4 of a banana in the blender with my in my Protein Shake, I also can do a few grapes or a half an apple sliced with some almond butter. For some reason I've lost my desire for citrus fruits and berries (hope to get that back) also will look forward to some watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe and honeydew once they are back in season.

Totally disagree with the ncbi on this one. 100 calories of sugar is going to result in a very different response in your body than 100 calories of oil.

Walk whenever you can, rest when your body tells you to, sip sip sip your Water and protien shakes. Stick to the plan and enjoy the new you !

Could not agree more! I'm still working on a way in, likely through missions work. I don't feel right lying about my reasons for getting in.

That's why I planned my trip as soon as we were able to go, I knew somehow that moron would "F" it up for everyone. The country and the people there are beautiful I hope to go back when you know who is where he belongs wearing an orange jumpsuit to match his face

Hey, great idea to mix water and wine!! The Europeans have done that for centuries with their children. And God knows the Catholic priests have been doing that with their chalices for even longer than that!! Good on you! I'm trying that at New Years!

Yes and all good for me

I was given coffee in the hospital, so I continued to drink it. When I met with my nutritionist I asked if it had to be Decaf, she said regular was fine.

Lol I've been claiming it since I was a teenager but now near 60 finally know it's true, made my day. I've also been using it for my kids too, the are not overweight but the scale #s have always been higher than they appeared. My girls are 5'8" and my boys are 6'4" and 6'5" I am thrilled with the validation
