How are any of you eating rice? I am 9 months out and still can't eat it. Not Pasta, bread, or really any carbs without getting sick and feeling sooooo uncomfortably full (even if I just take a few bites).

Hi! To very honest everyone is different. I had a tough time. The incision that they remove the stomach from was very tender. It's felt like I was punched in my abdomen several times, making it difficult to talk. You have to do your breathing exercises. It took a week for the pain to subside. I couldn't imagine sitting in class for 3 days a week for 8 hours. You may need time to recover.
Also, don't forget about gas pains and blood clotting.
Gas once you feel the need to release it, let it go.. it's very uncomfortable and painful.
I hope this helps. My surgeon made me feel like I was going to be up and running. It definitely was not the case. Good luck!

Okay. I thought I was going crazy, because I barley eat now. So why no weight loss?
Also, do you feel like food is stuck on your throat and won't go down and you can't bring it up?

Good Luck!

If it feels stuck, you have to just wait it out if you can't puke. You might try taking a walk, do not lie down it will turn into acid reflux.
Aren't you still on soft foods at this stage? You likely took that one too many last bites, we all have done it. You learn quickly to eat very slowly and stop after 4 bites and wait 5 minutes or more, then see if you are full at that point before taking more.

Good luck 🍀

I had mine done July 13th!

I’m 6’3” I went in June first 2021 at 318# and today I am 258. I stalled at around 265 for about a week. Just start walking more and the stall with pass.

Just follow your plan. It will kick in.

three-week stall. If you search this site, you'll find something like 17,000 posts on it (and no, I am NOT kidding). It happens to almost everyone. Just stick to your plan, stay off the scale for a few days, and it'll eventually break (lasts 1-3 weeks, usually) and you'll be on your way again.
