I'm 7.5 weeks post op. Down about 26 lbs. yep, super slow, I know! here is the deal, I can eat anything (no trouble with any type of food even bread) and a lot compared to others. I can eat a whole cup of food at once! This makes me very worried. I keep track with myfitnesspal and stay between 800-1000 calories per day but i feel like im hungry and eating all day long, granted its small stuff like low fat cheese or sugar free stuff and I need to exercise more but it's just not coming off fast enough for me so I'm getting discouraged. There doesn't seem to be anyone on these boards that are having the same issues. It seems like a miracle surgery for everyone else. It just seems harder for me. I feel like why did I even bother, I could have lost this much without major surgery! Just venting. Want to say F it and go eat a piece of cake, which I know I could and wouldn't even make me sick or full :(. Getting depressed.

You say you can eat a whole cup at once, but why do you eat a full cup at once? Have you tried portioning out to half a cup and than stopping? Are you sticking to 6 meals a day or grazing? Still in the end I would like to point out that in 7.5 weeks that you have lost on average 3.4# a week that is amazing! In 6 months that is 88#.

What exactly are you eating? Protein 1st all the time? I don't have room for anything after I eat my protein. Haven't tried bread yet. It's pretty much empty carb calories. sugar free things can backfire a bit in some people making you crave sugar and carbs.

I eat Protein then veggies then starch. I eat a cup because I'm not full. I eat it slow but that is what I am saying. I do not feel full. My sleeve doesn't work and isn't tight

Maybe increase your Protein so you don't have room for the starch. Also, from what I've read, maybe your aim shouldn't be to be full but just not hungry. I think increasing the protein, it should take longer to digest. The starch, carbs, will make you hungrier sooner. Hope that helps.

      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!!
