I reached beyond my goal and lost 129lbs in 10 months following surgery if there helps at all x

Sorry you’re feeling this way. Definitely seek help and try to believe it will help - if you write it off before you even try then it will fail. You can and will be successful and happy x

I took solid tablets the morning after my surgery. My surgeon has told me not to have any anti inflammatories like nurofen ever again :/

If I’m working it out correctly I’ve lost 103% of my excess weight. Starting weight was 266lbs, goal was 147lbs and I’m weighing around 145lbs.

Well done on getting back on track! It’s so challenging isn’t it to fight those old habits! I’m at goal now and down 115lbs - I am fighting myself mentally some days more than others but trying hard to keep my good workout and eating routine 🙂

Carbonated drinks apparently can cause pouch stretching. There’s a lot of pros and cons but personally (and just my opinion) why take the risk :)

Oh right yes it is this is the 8 month loss though so it’s slowing as I’m closer to goal. I was around 13-17lbs most months until the last month or two :)On 08/27/2021 at 05:28, Tony B - NJ said:
6 pounds a month seems a little slow, but I am not well versed. i am comparing to other posts I have seen.

I workout fairly hard 3x a week and walk other days. What seems low?On 08/27/2021 at 01:09, Tony B - NJ said:
How much exercise are you getting? That seems just a bit low.

I’m in my 8 month now and have lost 6lbs this month - definitely slowing (I’m about 2lbs off goal) :)

Hi there! I’m almost 8 months PO and am still being monitored. It has gotten a little better but not completely. I am learning to deal with it though I think 🙈

Hi there
I am 8 months PO sleeve and I seem to experience sometimes what I would think is dumping - diarrhoea, upset stomach, feeling like I have a rapid heart rate, but it only seems to occur the following morning after I have eaten. Would this be dumping syndrome or something else? I am finding I’m getting a run of upset stomachs (3-4 days in a row) sometimes without having eaten anything I think would be a trigger. Any insight Is appreciated :) -

Oh no you poor thing. Have you had a barium swallow or endoscopy done to see what’s going on?

It can definitely be frustrating feeling that way when you’re not expecting it! I found it difficult at the start to work out what I was feeling and I never felt ‘full’ for a while. Try to stick to your goals and drink more Protein fluids - definitely don’t push it this early with foods and stick only to your allowed list :)

Good on you for being prepared and doing your research! I am 7 months post op and almost 100lb down. I have had oesophageal dysmotility post up which causes me pain with quite a bit after eating and I did suffer from Hair loss and nausea for a while. All the cons aside for me it has been totally worth it and life changing. My health has drastically improved and my food obsession is also improving! I personally would suggest psychology post op to deal with the food issues but I would absolutely do it all again :)

I was sleeved in December and experienced something similar - I had a barium swallow which showed oesophageal dysmotility and I have my six month check next week with my surgeon to discuss options - it has improved with time but I would say I’m still having 2-3 bad days a week. I’m very fortunate though and haven’t thrown up - just terrible discomfort and chest pain

Be committed to changing your lifestyle and pushing yourself 😘 good luck!

I had VSG and I was fairly strict till I reached my goal, I focused on hitting my Protein goal and drinking 2+L Water a day, I didn’t really eat bread often as it filled me too much and I steered away from too many of my ‘trigger’ foods which were candy, ice cream etc. tried to have two serves of fruit a day and eat as healthy as I could 🙂
