I lost my father a week ago. I have been emotionally eating ever since. Fries food, sweets, I make myself sick. I’m 2 months in. Advice on how to stop??

I had the sleeve on 12/9. Lost 23.2 lbs since surgery. 21 on the liquid diet prior to that. So down 44lbs since 11/18/19. I can feel a difference, but can’t see one. And I feel like it’s coming off at a snails pace. But as long as the scale is down, not up, I’ll take it as a win!

Had VSG on 12/9. 30 day out today and down 23 lbs. doesn’t sound so bad when I type it, but it feels like it’s coming off so slow! But feeling better and down a size.

Same. I’m 3 weeks out and get that a lot. Dr said it’s from my sipping too fast. I have to burp ALOT.

@mike2019 week one was Clear Liquids. Week 2 full liquids. I’m in week 3 now.

So I moved on to part 2 of the diet, but it’s just adding Peanut Butter, cheese, and eggs. I have no purée stage? Next I go on to add chicken fish and tuna. No fruits or veggies til after 8 weeks I guess. I’m 2.5 weeks in. Starting Protein now. This normal?

2 weeks today and I still have that same pain. They said it’ll take weeks to get the gas out.

I believe purées

Tomorrow. Is 2 week post op appt and today I had small chicken chunks in my Soup. Maybe a total of 3. Did I mess something up? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have. And those soft peppermints. No issues.

I had coffee as soon as I came home from the hospital. As long as it was sugar free additives, my dr said it was ok.

@Cheeseburper I spoke with my dr and they think it’s gas pains. We will see over the next few days. I go for a 2 week check up Monday. I also have pain on my right side, abdomen. They said that’s where the surgeon does most of his work and it would be more sore.

Anyone experience shoulder pain after surgery? Left shoulder if that matters. No other issues. 8 days post op. Feels like I slept on it wrong.  Hurts horribly. But this has been since day 3.

@cathynthesky82 your left shoulder hurt? Mines been killing me like a horrible crick in it from ear to shoulder since day 3 post op. I’m day 8 now. Was that the only symptom?

I had surgery on 12/9/19. So 7 days out and I am experiencing higher than normal blood pressure. Never stopped my medicine. Anyone have this happen? I thought it would help lower it. I have an email into my doctor but they won’t open until tomorrow.

My highest weight was 405. The day of surgery I was 360. At 349 today 7 days post op. Realistically I see me being around 230. I would love to see 180. But whenever I am healthy is where I wanna be!

@raesavage yessss🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. I’m 6 days post op and was trying to figure out, “am I seriously hungry after surgery? Did I do this for nothing?” But once I get to do something..I see I’m not hungry, just craving. Just wanting to eat out of boredom or comfort or for whatever reason. It’s SO hard. I’m broken down a couple times. It’s shown me how addicted I am to food.

I am on day 6 post op and I can almost gulp now....let’s say a good swallow. Where I could barely sip before. Pretty excited about that because I was worried about getting fluids in.

So the staples stay in. Forever? They don’t need to come out?

Do you have to have a catheter input for sleeve surgery?

This makes me so happy. I’m having surgery 12/9 and we have the same starting weight (as of today,lol) and to hear of your lost in just 8 months and where your dr thinks you can get down to....gives me hope. Great job!!

I’m on 12/9 too!! But I’m on day 18 of a 21 day liquid diet😭

I appreciate you opening up. This is my first journey. 11 days til surgery and I’m nervous. Almost done with week 2 of a 3 week liquid diet. We are starting at the same weight . Maybe knowing what you are walking into will help you. I stay reading things on this forum to know I’m not alone. Someone is always there with the same struggles😌

Hey guys! Thanks for replying. I guess I should have added this is my 3 week pre op diet. Surgery is dec 9th
