Surgery day I was 250 lbs I'm starting week 7 and I am down 17 lbs . I have stalled for 3 weeks and I think I just might be coming out of it. Having such low calorie intake and body is still in healing mode. ( Body uses energy to heal ) . Make us all week and tired. In a funk kinda thing.. look for the small wins. They will help you smile and feel better. I just cut a new hole in my belt to make smaller because my pants fall down. ( Second time doing this) woooo hooo! I now can reach my shoes with out a shoe horn. Didn't even notice that. My wife told me me she saw me do that. . sweet!!! The little wins are very important. So look for them and enjoy your journey. Celebrate it !! Wishing love and good health on your weight loss journey!!

My sternum sticks out since loosing 65 lbs from pre surgery it seems like it has a bump on it and the front of my rib cage at the edge feels thick and the sides feel thin. It is weird to feel these bones since being so overweight for do long i never paid attention to them. I'm wondering if anyone elce is going through this also and does it seem normal or odd that I seem to have this. I would include pics but it doesn't show in pics. I'm also experiencing thin but and having the tail bone hurt from sitting for long time , but is has gotten better but now I get sore from the bone where the leg goes into the hip. I must say that I'm not trying to complain, it is just new things to deal with. 0lease share any advice or similar situation you have. Thank you.

Sometimes too much info is bad. I follow what my surgery information booklet tells me. It lays out days and weekly schedule. It tells me food to eat during these times and I'm following it to the letter. I have added a copy of the guide I use. Hope it will help. It had guided me well and I only move on to my next stage only when I am ready I never get ahead of this schedule. That was the best advice I gotten from my surgeon and nutritionist and I'm greatfull for it. Best wishes on your weight loss journey. !!

I also wanted to add that I use MyFitnessPal to track my food and nutrition and it help me track my calories, carbs and salt intake.

I fell asleep with out my CPAP mask on after using the washroom a few nights ago and did not snore or feel tired the next day. I slept quite well. I think I might not be in need of my CPAP soon. Going to talk with my doc and set up a sleep study. Keep you all posted

Reading labels and becoming a ninja at ingredient understanding is my new thing. Yougert should just be active bacterial culture and milk. Nothing else. Any additional thing is just filler. I have and try to make my own with my one pot. It is so easy it is ridiculous . And will add some chopped fruit or some of my Protein Powder to it when I take a portion.
Reading deceptive packing is important and will make you a more effective fat burning machine . Wishing you continued success.

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful prospective and advice. I am better this morning and I have restarted to journal my thoughts even just randomly bable. Getting it out of my head helps me view it from a different angle. There are some great ideas given to me and it will make a difference. Regrouping and setting realistic goals again. I I do track very carefully my nutrition and calories carefully. I'm going to try to leave a few 100 for my later on snack. . Thank you again for your suggestions and positive thoughts. I am greatfull to be part of this community. Forward with the journey!!

I think recognizing that this is an issue & you want to put a stop to it early is an incredible step. So many people don't discover this until it's too late. Maybe telling someone in your support system about this can help you, having someone in real life to help hold you accountable can be very helpful
If not, talking to your bariatric team is good. those 'late night snacking when not hungry' sessions isn't about finding healthier alternatives, but about stopping it at the source. Hopefully they're able to help you find something to replace those urges with.

You have head hunger! Maybe it’s time to find a hobby or distractive activity to do when you feel hungry at night…. (Reading, Netflix, knitting, drawing, journaling) Since you can eat now your body wants a return to normal habits and you need to retrain the brain.. it can take about a month to retrain yourself but the good news is it gets a little easier each day you do it….

but yes. Talk to your team! I will say that journaling has been my success key… writing out why I had issues with eating and what I was feeling… the more I worked through the emotional issues that made me fat the easier it was to be in control… still not perfect and still feel things but I am able to cope better

I don't know what you're eating and when from your post but I just wanted to let you know that I have never, EVER been able to go to bed hungry, so if this is your problem I feel you. No matter what crackpot diet I was on throughout my life, I needed to save calories to eat for supper. I still do. Normally something filling but not calorific like porridge (oatmeal) with fruit, or even sometimes Soup.
Don't punish yourself for feeling what you feel - PLAN FOR IT would be my advice. Good luck on the rest of your journey. 😍

I do this too! I am not so much a "night" eater. But tend to have more an a urge to eat later in the day. I never used to eat Breakfast and wouldn't eat at all till lunch at 12.. so I guess my body was trained to eat all the calories in the late afternoon/evening so now naturally I still want to even though I eat breakfast now. (well drink a shake)
Before I was hungry, now I am not hungry but rather just want to eat. So yea, like you I adjust my day for it and stay within my limits too. Been working great for me.

Account for it--I usually leave myself around 200 calories for "evening snacks", and it's worked out very well for me. Never eat out of the bag/box unless it's single-serving. Measure EVERYTHING and only put the amount you are comfortable eating in front of you. Depending on the nature of your snacking it also may help to pre-prepare a few "safe" things for in the evening (sliced vegetables, maybe some kind of low carb "snack box" if you're extra like that).

You have taken the first step to recognize what you are doing wrong. It is a journey and some days will not be as good as the previous one, concentrate on doing better tomorrow, start your solids and keep your Protein and Water intake.

Workout if there is head hunger or some emotional trigger that makes you want to eat at night and remember why you started this journey, and how far you have come.

I'm reading your post as it's about 2:30 AM where I live... and I'm eating lol. My nutritionist knows that I have f-ed up sleep patterns due to my health issues and although it's not really the best choice to eat at night it's not the be all and end all if you're hungry and not just snacking to snack. If it's a bad habit of yours to eat at night just to snack and not due to actual hunger then yeah I'd consult someone, but we're only human. We can fall off sometimes, but the point is that you recognize that it's a problem and are will to work on it. Don't stress yourself out! Admitting a fault is the first step in correcting a problem and that doesn't make you a failure at all. If it's a problem then work on it. Get help if you need to. We are only human, thus mistakes can and will happen. You got this!

I'm eating at night again. My fat brain is winning. I feel so disgusted with myself at this moment and feel I'm slipping. I am 8 weeks post op and should be transitioning to more solid foods but I'm mostly still pureeing . This way I can have more volume of foods. I need to contact my surgery team and see if they can help. I just feel defeated at this moment.

No regrets whatsoever! I’m just almost 2 weeks post op. I’ve stopped taking many medications and lost about 20 pounds.

I got gastric bypass on September 19 2022. So it is fresh in my head. I call it my fat brain. My worst of my bad eating habits is eating late at night and lots of it. For me the second week was when I started to really look at other people and how and what they are. I kept thinking about not how I miss the food and Snacks but more on the line of the poison people are stuffing into themselves. I started to really hate all the garbage food i see everywhere. Tv ads , social media, the supermarket and shopping of garbage food people buy. I kept seeing overweight and more and more people struggling. There are so many that are in worse shape than myself and most do not see or have given up.
I am proud and happy you are making a change for yourself and family. It isn't going to be an easy road and it will be a long journey.
I have been fat for 30 years and my health issues started 15 years ago. But I ignored them and kept trying to find an easy fix. Diet this and diet that. These magic pills or drink this magic shake.
As I start seeing the real progress I'm making I find it easier to continue. I have to . Not continuing will only lead me to being in pain, being diabetic, struggling to get up out of bed with out feeling like a truck ran me over, sleep apnea, the list never seems to end.
This group of people here are real and also struggle with you. But we are here for eachother. Don't give up. You are stronger than you give yourself credit. If you fall off the wagon. Get you fat ass back on! I'm like most on here struggle yet must keep going on. I send you love and positive vibes for you.
You will be and see results in time. I started at 265.5 per surgery. Was 250 at surgery. Dropped to 243 and stalled for almost three weeks and today I'm at 236 five week after surgery. Still feel week and get tired quickly but gaining energy and strength a bit more every day. Keep your nutrition up and your Proteins up, take Colligen and Biotin, and walk as much as you can. It makes a big difference. .
Best wishes and good health!!

Look up Youtube videos of the Ricotta cheese Bake! It seems to be one of the more popular puree recipes online as it tastes like you're having a cheat meal. I feel this is one way to enjoy yourself on a special holiday!

I fell asleep with out my CPAP mask on after using the washroom a few nights ago and did not snore or feel tired the next day. I slept quite well. I think I might not be in need of my CPAP soon. Going to talk with my doc and set up a sleep study. Keep you all posted
