I can relate to the eating out situation..... I can't stand being asked if the food was alright etc. 😒 then having to explain that I have a small tummy. Lol.

I wonder if these portions depend on what type of surgery you've had? I had the gastric sleeve and am 6 months out. I can eat 3 Oz of Protein in a sitting but not much else.

I had the gastric sleeve a little over a month ago, I experienced dumping according to my nutritionist, it happened after I ate a small scoop of vanilla ice cream at my daughter's birthday party. But it was nothing like it's been described to me in the past or on forums etc. I just got super tired and took a 3 hr nap when I got home. I'm very careful not to eat sugar now, or if I'm going to eat it I'll eat a very small portion, like 1 jelly bean 😂. Besides, since surgery most sugary things are wayyyy too sweet now anyway. Dumping can present differently in sleeve patients than it does in bypass patients if at all. I just happen to be one of the luck ones.

I went SCUBA diving for the first time in 2 years (thanks, COVID), and I need at least 4, probably 6 fewer pounds of weight to maintain neutral buoyancy. My air consumption is a little better too, although it was freakishly, unaccountably good to begin with.

Im 2 weeks out from surgery and things are going good for now, but I know that eventually Im going to have to start introducing and incorporating real food back into my diet and my calorie intake is going to get higher, I'm just terrified that once I do that even of its 4-500 calories my weight is going skyrocket! Has any one experienced weight gain durring their transitional phases? How did it work out? Did you have to start hitting the gym daily to continue loosing? Can you please share your stories. Thank u

Crap, I don't drink...so maybe I'll just take a hit of pot each time someone on My 600 pound life says:
1. Miserable. (ie: my life is miserable)
2. Switches out "my size" for "my weight"
3. This is my last chance.
4. "Dr. Now doesn't understand....."
5. "Weightloss Journey"
6. "Progress"
And TWO everytime Dr. Now says:
1. "What happened?"
2. "you are killing yourself."
3. "Eating habit!"
4. "How you all doing?"
5. "If you need anything, let me know."
6. "I'm proud of you!"
Take off one article of clothing each time the patient fails to meet a weight loss goal.
If it's the Penny Sager episode....just smoke the whole bowl, take ALL your clothes off, and watch in stunned silence with your mouth hanging open.

I agree, I crave nutrient's for energy but no desire for food at all ( its a weird feeling) and yes, the incision pain is awful, I have this one right by my belly button that stings like its being ripped apart any time I go to sit up or bend over to tie a shoe, the others are fine. But they say the incision they pull your stomach through will be the one that hurts the worst and takes the longest to heal.

Very much how mine is going, too. Glad to hear I'm not alone.

Surgery went perfect according to the doc, I'm doing great, the gas pain was tolerable. Had to get up and walk a bunch and you learn real quick on what you thought was a sip is not a sip lol ..... Other than that I feel great and I'm happy its overwith.

I don't have my surgery till July 27th. However, I see where you might have thought that lol. I meant that "today was the day" for you 😂. Sorry for the confusion, but thank you for asking!

How was your surgery? How are you feeling today?

My VSG was yesterday morning. Went perfectly well. I was pretty groggy yesterday but walked around the hallways a few times and hit my Water goal. Gas pain has been reasonable. My ox-sat is low so I am on oxygen right now. Will go home later!

Today’s the day! Hope everything goes well for you!
