Gaining Knowledge To Lose Weight



Recommended Posts

Knowing what to do after you have been sleeved is the best knowledging you can gain. Understanding what you can and cannot eat is vital for your successful weight loss. Before my Sleeve surgery, I did a lot of research and asked my doctor to advised me the best foods to eat and what was a must to stay away.

For those of you who are going into this notion that after your sleeve surgery you can eat whatever you want. You are much mistaken. Foods that you were able to tolerate before such as leafy lettuce and a greasy hamburgers are not in your near future. White breads are hard to break down and are more difficult to swollow and digest due to the yeast. Pasta's are much the same as well. Potatoes are not as difficult to digest being they are soft and easy to swallow.

Remember that in time, as your stomach heals and stretches some. ..many of the foods that you were not able to tolerate can now be digested more easily. The key to eating, is to eat slow, chew your food throughly and enjoy what you are eating.

Gaining knowledge about your new stomach is the key to rapid and safe weight loss.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
