Wednesday I will be 10 weeks out and I felt like I could eat a house today. I had a yogurt, my Protein Drink, chili, baked lays Cheetos, do I need to go on... YES... Please don't yell at me, Reese's Peanut Butter cups, a sip of sprite, 4 oz chicken breast and some salad and Water. Did my stomach grow back or something. I don't understand. This is by far the WORST day ever for me. Wtf did I do to myself.

You did what many of us do or have done at one time or another. My weight loss have slowed down for the same reason....eating junk food that can just "slide" right through your little tummy allowing you to eat more. If you stick to Proteins then you will not be able to eat as much. I find the evenings the hardest for me. At work, I have no problem, but once I get home, the eating begins.....I know it's time to go back to a therapist but just haven't been motivated enough to do it yet. I am still losing but very slowly. Hope we both get back on track very soon.

Okay, so you got off plan. You know it and now lets get it fixed. At 10 weeks you should be somewhere between 600-800 kcals. Are you tracking what you eat? Are you taking a PPI? Gas and acid can appear as hunger when it really isn't so a PPI helps that. Eating things like chips (cheetos) and candy will not give you the restrictive feeling that you get when you eat your protein first then the rest. So..junk the junk food. Start tracking what you eat. Eat your Proteins first then anything else. Try to east 5-6 small meals a day, about a 1/3 cup of food total (no 4oz chicken breast). Get your mind on eating healthy. Keep the carbs to a minimum, and knock off the soda. You didn't climb up on the operating table and let them cut out your stomach to fall back on the bad eating habits. Keep in mind that just because you had the surgery, it didn't take away the habits that got us all to where were are. You have to focus and stick to the plan. Call your nutritionist first thing an set up a time, come clean with them and have them chart out a good plan for you. Hang in there and good luck!

hey so we all go through it there are some days I feel like I could eat a horse... but if you get back to basics and start with your Protein you will get full.... most junk food like they said above is slider food. start new tomorrow and make sure you are drinking your Water at least 64 oz and eat protien first meals, I bet you get fuller faster.... I also started to eat salad when I feel I want something more for me it fills me up and is not a slider..... choose wisely !! you can do this !!

I agree with John - you know you went off plan, now it's time to get your act back together. No more junk/slender foods, track on myfitnesspal and start your day with a Protein Shake. Try to stay busy, you just had surgery try to remember you didn't do this for nothing!

Well - I love Reeses Peanut Butter cups!

Why do we eat these things? The best answer would be because they are so much easier to get down and just because we now have a sleeve for a stomach it in no way means that we have lost the urge to take comfort in the foods we choose.

I'm the worst when it comes to eating candy and other bad things. In fact, I wish I had a candy bar right now. I'm slow to lose weight even before the candy enters the picture.

We need to do this: quit eating the wrong things, dramatically increase the Water intake, and make healthy choices instead of comforting ones.

I hate water! But it really does work.

I'll do it if you will!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
