I am so sorry for you. Changed your life for 40 pounds. Why don't you ask your Dr for an appetite suppressant. If your surgeon won't do it, look up a bariatric physician. You can go to ASBP and get names

Just wondering if you have tried to go back to first phase of surgery eating. Try doing Protein Shakes 2times a day and then a sensible dinner. Always remember Protein first then veggies and carbs. Eat like every 3 hours to stop the hunger. I know if you eat Fiber to, it keeps you full longer. Good luck keep us up to date. Oh yeah drink lots of Water to help flush out the fat and to keep you hydrated. One more thing lol, are you mistaken hunger for thirst? Try drinking fluids and then if you still feel hungry eat some protein. Hope I helped in someway if possible.

You need to get back on track....the sleeve won't do all the work. I'm willing to bet you are not exercising, and you aren't eating what you should be. You did this to change your life....and you aren't using the tool. There are so many people out there that can't get this surgery and would do anything to get it....work your tool girl. Hopefully when you get on these pills you will use then and there to start all over...pick yourself up and get moving! ((Hugs))

Man that's tough.... I'd be upset too for a 40ib loss... But def go back to the first stages after surgery... U might have stretched your sleeve so u can eat more than you should ..

So sorry you have had this experience. You will not be happier until you find a solution. I would try a new surgeon and see if his Team could help you have better success because the current set up has not worked. I think step number one is finding what you are doing wrong and working on those issues one by one.

That sounds terrible but keep it in perspective - it could be a LOT worse than 15 pounds. What matters is you are catching it, and your are not going to gain any more. Even if you need to just focus on maintaining the 230 pounds before you dive into a calorie deficit again you are on the right track. Sometimes you just need a break, just make sure you STOP gaining.

For some, DS may be a better option. Has your surgeon talked to you about that at all?

Maybe more Protein Shakes isn't the answer? If you are not having any trouble eating you probably don't need those anymore. Sometimes drinking our calories is bad news, no matter what it is. More lean Protein might be the key.

I just want 2 get rid of the hunger :-(

yeah, are you having real physical hunger or is it a head thing that you want to eat? Because if you are physically hungry the more dense things you have the better off you will be.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
