Does anyone find you can eat more



Recommended Posts

Certain times of the month? There are times when I can barely eat and other times I feel like I'm eating more.

I'm seven months out. Not eating slider foods. High Protein and veggies. Also, noticed sometimes I'm hungrier than other times.

Just wondering if it's something other people have experienced.

Does that time also coincide with "that time" of the month??

I have experienced the same thing. I had a follow up appt yesterday with surgeon and he said that it was my old habits and my body wanting to have the sugar and carbs it was used to getting before. He warned me about regaining the weight if I didn't stick to the Protein and fluids regime. Also warned about the carbs that increase insulin which increases appetite. I don't know if this helps but it made me think about my goals and reevaluate things.

I get that certain days... Like the last two days eating has been to comfortable:( but other days I can barely eat. I know if I'm stressed my sleeve seems to tighten up and eating is harder ...

I was just thinking about posting the same thing! I am eight months out and I feel like the last few days my sleeve has been super restrictive. I don't feel like I've been eating any larger portions than normal (for me) but I keep getting that sick-full feeling. It does not correspond to my time of the month or PMS or anything. Actually, it kinda makes me happy (not the sick part) because I haven't been losing much weight the last two months. I hope this continues and I will definitely back down my portions!

I get these hunger urges mainly between 10:30am and 12:30pm. Not sure why! Eating mostly high Protein and veggies at 8 months.

I have noticed to that some days I have much more hunger than other days. Also some days I can eat more than others. I am past that certain time of the month so not sure why it happens.

I also find the same thing. Some days I can eat more, then others I feel so much more restriction. Some days I'm hungrier than others, too.

What are you all considering "slider foods?" I mean, the obvious is ice cream & I try to stay away from that. What are other slider foods??

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
