But would any of you say that you've noticed improved memory? I have a horrible memory and everywhere you read it says that excess of carbs (why I'm in this shape anyway) can cause it... as well as aspartame... etc. Sounds like EVERYTHING bad for you can cause it... SO I'm wondering once everything bad is out of your system for a while have you noticed a better memory?

I am two weeks out and I have not noticed it worse or better. I lived off of carbs and Diet Coke before surgery. Good luck to you.

I've never been a user of aspartame (it gives me horrible migraines), but I'm definitely not eating as many carbs as before surgery. I've read information about carbs, chemicals, etc causing issues with memory, but I've also read that ghrelin (the hormone produce by your stomach, and which causes us to experience "hunger") has a positive impact on memory...and that some people find they have diminished memory, post-VSG. I'm hoping it'll be a wash for me, and that my memory won't change much, one way or the other. :)

Maybe not! You're head may be clearer just not having the "food worries" clouding your thoughts once you're surgery is complete. That may help you with your memory issues.

I'm almost 3 weeks post-op and I haven't noticed anything different too, and my memory has to keep up with a lot of data/pricing information for packages, etc. due to the nature of my profession. I am a Web Designer and I'm in graduate school for an MBA on a full-time basis, as well... What I do notice though, is that I'm lacking energy big time! Feel drained and sleepy.

Before being sleeved, I was a coffee addict (2-3 cups/day) but I ate pretty clean -- just MUCH bigger portions!

Nannous, three weeks is still pretty fresh out, that could be why your feeling sluggish still. Are you getting your Protein in? Taking your Vitamins? Getting enough rest? If all those things are in check then I only have two other ideas. Exercise can sometimes give more energy. If that doesn't work I would inform your doctor and see if he/she feels it is normal. Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
