  1. Hello long time no speak! I had my vsg 4 years ago . With the typical stalls of loosing weight. As I approached my goal weight . The scale keeps going down. To the point I’m now underweight . Was told not to loose any more. Blood test all come back great. She did order an upper GI . Why? I have no pain or heartburn. i can eat and eat and eat. Half cup or less at an time even wake up in my sleep to eat. I feel as if my body is starving . I’m sure I’ll get the back lash but I know I’m not the only one suffering. If you happen to see a form on here please let me know. I don’t want bad eating habits like chips . Pop . candy . But I am to keep the scale from moving in the negative 😢

    Hello, any veterens around?

    5 years out of vsg . Please no judgement. I’m loosing to much😢. I regret the decision to better my life with this surgery . now I’m walking skeleton. It’s a side effect that’s not talked about. ( shame ) If anyone is having the same issue please reach out. I understand most aren’t in my predicament. But nice encouraging words are helpful.

    Strongly struggling

    I would and I did . Make a scrambled egg. Remember texter and density make a difference on the feeling of stomach. I would take one bite and see how you feel. But remember head hunger is the real deal. 💕 dont fret the weightloss stall. Mine was six weeks then swish it was gone! You will enjoy this thread the documentation of the journey and learning . You can look back years later.

    Loosing too much weight

    I have all way eaten by the guidelines. Have done very well with the weight loss . So I have come to conclusion this will be a life time battle of gaining weight unfortunately, I regret wishing and getting something that would greatly improve my life. Have I added protein drinks, no I wouldn’t able to leave the house. But I eat proteins all day . Chicken chicken chicken . Cottage cheese. Veggies ect. one cup at a time several times a day. The past few months I have added a whole bag of chips that I can eat thru out the day on top of my healthy meals. Chips is 2000 calories a day. 14 grams of protein. Saturated fats 15 grams . Carbs 208 . Im doing the opposite of guidelines . Blood work is all normal. Should I have such a restriction 5 years out.? I wake in the middle of the nite to eat, I’m so hungry. Yes stress plays a role in weight . I have a pretty good life;)

    Thinking of getting Gastric sleeve

    I don’t enjoy food, good question. Took me two years to learn not to over eat. We know what happens when we over eat. I eat small amounts thru out the day 3/4 a cup 4 times a day at max. Now I wake ip in the middle of the nite eating Quality food . It either comes up or goes out in unpleasant ways. The odd thing is. one week I’m starving.I can’t seem to fuel my body. The next week I have no appetite it’s been one hell of a roller coaster ride. Thanks for pointing out allergies many would’ve thought that. Im good . nausea medication any suggestions over the counter? Besides that, going out with friends and eating is embarrassing. You take three bites done in 5 minutes. Mean time people are conversating and eating for an hour. I miss the days of indulgent .
  8. Has your relationship changed yes or no? For the better or worse since surgery? Sex?

    Calories at maintenance shock

    At first I was a calorie counter about 6 months. Now I just watched what I eat. That being said I stay away from only man made carbs and small portions. Unfortunately I need to start counting loosing to much🥴

    When did regain start?

    Lol 5 years of my fitness pal . Me too! it’s crazy to see the fluctuations thru the years.. goal weight of 115. . Went down to 90 lbs. then went back to 110. And 115. I hover around 110. This scares me. is this a stall waiting to come for another big weightloss
  14. I had stalls thru out my journey. One stall was 5 months. After that stall I lost a huge amount of weight very quickly. If you noticed how your body is acting with carbs cut the carbs.

    What the h*ll is going on?!?!

    Here it is 4 years. I have the symptoms you are having. I like where you say I can eat cerial and milk and keep it down . Besides the chicken and water and throwing up. When you are worried about to much weight loss eat what you want. I hope my waves of symptoms and weight loss goes away.
  21. I’m 2 plus years out of gastric bypass. I have lost all my weight plus some. According to the stats I’m under weight. I have ate absolute junk food to get my weight up. Just makes me feel like crap. Just to much sugar. I eat my fair share with in reason. My stomach seems not to be growing. So I can put more food in. I’m really starting to worry about other health issues that I tried to avoid by doing the surgery. I’m looking in healthy even I can see. When I’m 60 am I going to have issues maintaining or gaining then. I was not prepared for this. People are fully focused on how fast and how much. But not the bigger picture. I’m sure I’m not the only one dealing with this. People who are going thru this. I would like to here your opinion.

    How much food?

    Just curious to see what the amount of food people are eating. After gastric sleeve. How cups or ounces at a time?
  23. Wow congrats on the success! I’m a few years out and still step on the scale daily. Daily scale ways show only ounces or pound at a time . Not like your where you step on scale less and see the results in bigger number.
