It has been 7 and a half months and I have lost 95 pounds. The weight loss has slowed down and I get hungry now where before I didn't seem to feel hungry. I am scared I may start gaining back but I am determined to not go backwards!!!

AmyRae I'm at about the same point post-op that you are. I adoped a rule right after my surgery that I have followed religiously all along. I never eat less than two or more than four hours apart. The pre-op information that I got said that you should never eat less than two hours apart. I added the four hour rule to avoid getting overly hungry and creating a situation where I would be more likely to over eat. The result has been that I eat at least four and sometimes five times a day. To be sure, those are not all large meals. But if it's been four hours, I eat something whether I'm hungry or not. I also drink two to three cups of coffee a day (at least 30 minutes after eating and usually an hour or more) which I have found to be extremely valuable in keeping me from getting overly hungry. I keep the pantry well stocked with healthy options for light meals - nuts of all kinds, fruit, vegetables, Protein Bars, Protein Shakes, light cheese, turkey Jerky, low cal/low carb crackers (I love crunchy) and I'm always looking for new options when I'm at the store. And last but not least, I have an app on my phone that I use to log everything I eat. Regardless of when I might get hungry, I know exactly where I'm at calorie/protein/carb and time wise at any point in the day. I think getting hungry is a natural, healthy thing. As long as you have lots of options for addressing it, it's nothing to fear.

Anjela most definitely worth it!!! If I had to do over again I would in a heartbeat! I couldn't imagine loosing the weight I have without my new weight loss tool! I'm just getting frustrated because I weighed 180 got up to 190 and I feel smaller but it's not coming off like I want it to!

I haven't weighed one anything since I was a teen...or even 2 anything....man I can't wait to see those kinds of results. I'm hoping I don't have a lot of loose sagging skin though

      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.
