Hi everyone! I've been off this forum for a long time since having my vsg on 4/24/13. My starting weight was 240, sleeved at 220 and currently at 183. My struggle now is that I feel hungry very shortly after I eat, and I snack a lot because I am hungry! 4 months after my surgery I found out I was pregnant. Even with all day sickness I only lost a few lbs and in my second trimester I started getting VERY HUNGRY! I feel like it kinda ruined my surgery having a baby so soon (wasn't planned). When I was breast feeding I got down to 167 but since I stopped I've only gained. I've also had issues with my thyroid that are still being worked on, but I feel like I can eat way too much and that I failed my surgery

Now I'm totally depressed, feeling fat and like a failure. I have no clue what to do!

I'd like to get down to 150 (a personal goal) but I don't know where do start.

Maybe you should start by reconnecting with your doctor and nutritionist. They may be able to offer some solutions.

Also, you don't mention whether or not you're still exercising. If not, it might help to move things in the right direction.

I haven't been exercising which is something I want to start doing again.

The basics. Protein first, follow Water rules, exercise, log your food in myfitnesspal, and weigh now and then (I do every day) I know its hard to get back on plan, and with a new baby, you must be tired as well! ....But the only way to really get the results you want, is do just that. I just finished the 5 day pouch test, which really is just eating low carb and high protein, its only 5 days and is a kick start to getting off the carbs and snacking which really has helped me. Get back on plan while your still ahead, down almost 40 pounds is great!

....Petra, I just noticed you have a lap-band... this is a Sleeve forum, I don't know so much about the band, check with your Band Dr. You may need an adjustment and advice from him/her.

I don't have a band... Im sleeved!
