I've been cursed by a gypsy to lose weight until I'm gone!

I feel like I'm never going to be able to eat again!

I was sleeved 3 weeks ago, and so far I've lost about 20 pounds, which Im happy about, but when does eating get easier?

Every time I try to eat anything with any kind of texture to it. like Soup with a few chunks, I fill up so fast and it feels like the food it stuck in my throat and that I might upchuck.

Today I tried to eat some green Beans, which went down ok, but when I tried some pork loin, that did me in. I'm about 5'9 and I started off at 260.

Now I'm at about 240 which I'm thrilled about, but if this eating thing stays this hard, I'm going to be a pencil neck geek in a few months!

I really don't want to get down to something ridiculous like 140 pounds.

I don't want to weigh less than my 15 year old son!

I still need to be able to kick his ass if necessary (kidding)! Come on people!

I mean, when and how does your body reach some sort of equilibrium? And when does that happen for most people?

Losing weight is awesome. Not being able to eat anything sucks!

congrats on the loss!!!!at about my 3 week mark i hit a stall and have been stuck ever since !!!! i am goin on my 6th week ...i was sleeved on dec 8 . eating does get easier...but sometimes i do run into an issue myself . i have never puked yet ...knock on wood ....but the stuck feeling i still experience.you may wanna go back to puree a few days ....i didnt really stick to any certain diet ....just kinda winging it !always try n eat protein first !...beeing in a stall super sux !!!! i juggle between the same for numbers for weeks now

like you, i wonder how your body knows a stopping point .......ive been chunky all my life and dont really wanna get to something ungodly myself either ....

Dude watcha got against pencil neck geeks!

And maybe try nice soft piece of fish and leave the pork until later

At 3 weeks your stomach is still sensitive. I'm 7 weeks and eat everything fine, just small portions though

Mate, I'm 10 weeks out yesterday and 60+ pounds down. It does get easier, quite quickly.

Pork loin was probably a bit ambitious at this stage. At bit early for any dense Protein.

At the stage I'm at I feel like I can eat anything I want, just in really small amounts. The amount varies depending on the food. From here the amount I can eat will slowly increase.

Yeah guys I shoulda known better - it wasn't dry or anything, but as I was eating the pork I loin I was thinking, "man this sure is dense" - yeah dense is a good word for that, Dean!

I cannot currently foresee a day where I might enjoy a steak again! That may never happen.

Dean - I cant believe you've lost 66 pounds in 10 weeks? That's insane!

Orthoman it gets easier I lost 110 pounds in 4 months and met my goal weight and past it by just hang in there I have not found anything that I can not eat now but it is very limited I was eating steak at about 2 months out but believe me you won't eat the whole steak in one sitting. I am now 6 months out and down about 120 pounds from 280 pounds to 160 now I feel so much better now and no blood pressure meds

Thanks.

You will eat steak again. I have, but the same thing just small amounts.

I'm an Aussie, so I've had my fill of plate sized rumps and T-bones with all the trimmings. 2 nights ago I grilled up a piece of beef fillet to medium rare. A 300 gram piece sliced up to feed the whole family. It went down really well.

I am pre op, but the diet I have been given for ater surgery @ three weeks I will just be on puree....all I here is follow you dr.s orders.....thats my plan. Good Luck, and awesome wt. loss

It gets easier. However, I know that feeling you are referring to. At three weeks, pork should't be in your diet. At three weeks I was still on clear liquids and had introduced creamed soups. Don't rush the diet. The esophagus and pouch needs time to heal.

I'm at 3 months and every day it's a challenge to either try something I want to eat, but it may give me the "stuck" feeling or may not, or eating something safe that I know will go down like soup orcottage cheese. I can't eat poultry or eggs, but can eat beef (weird!) I just started being able to eat raw veggies last week. Some days I struggle with head hunger and wanting the taste of something I know won't go down. But then there are days when I could care less about what I eat, I just eat because I need to (love these days!). Good luck and take it slow. We'll get there -I haven't read any posts saying after a year they still can't eat this or that. It's temporary. Good luck. (prep - Aug. 278/ DOS - Oct 11-255/ today 1/16-206 Total loss -72 lbs.!)

James you and I started out at around the same weight.

I can't even dare to dream of possibly getting down to 160 pounds like you - that's crazy-insane!

I have'nt been anywhere close to that weight since high school!

Truly do you realize how nuts that is? To go from 280 to 160 in FOUR months? REALLY?

All I can say is, wow. I am not currently losing weight at a rate anything close to that. I'm at 20 pounds in 3 weeks.

Good job, dude!

Orothoman all I did was walking some I ate my Protein drank my Water and then ate my carbs I never deprived myself of anything because I told myself from the beginning that I was not on a diet they will always fail you I was doing a lifestyle change. I haven't been at 160 pounds for more than 20 years so I do know how you feel. Let me know if I can answer any questions

I did limit my high carb foods but if I wanted a piece of cake I had it just much smaller than before I never tried to over eat although I did eat to much to fast a few times and it come back out.

First things first- when I saw the title of this- I immediately read it in the old gypsy ladies voice.

Second- it will taper. I have heard 6 months, but it depends on how much weight you have to lose. Good luck!

And you will have steak again! I had it at 6 weeks and I have had it a few times since then.
