I had the VSG on June 29th my problem is I am starving mentally. I have chewed a couple things up then spit it out just to get the flavor. Ugh..... when will I be able to eat? How long before I don't feel these crazy cravings and one of the cravings was pickles I never really been a fan why now? I'm also feeling a bit depresed.

Ditto over here. I'm also feeling kind of depressed and I chewed stuff too to have a different taste in my mouth other then Jello and broth. My Dr says that I'd have to wait till my 3rd month post op to be able to eat regular foods but I just don't knw if I will

Make it there

I'm on liquids still. But I do chew stuff up and spit them back out. I've also had some of my kids Cereal ( 2-3 teaspoons full) and felt kinda full to tell I the truth. And it did take that jittery, weak, dizzy feeling I was experiencing at the time.

I went to my dr for my week follow up and he sent me liquid Protein to take 3x's a day. It's helped with that almost faint feeling but not with the hunger. I don't really know what to do anymore. I'm literally hungry every hour.

I've gone on YouTube and I read on other places that I'm not an alien from outer space and that I'm not the only one feeling like this. I just don't wanna fall into a depression stage cause I'm kinda prone to that. I'm thinking of calling to follow up with my nutritionist and see what she can help

With.

Yes I am prone to depression, and anxiety as well I am so glad I'm not alone I swear I cook for the family and I'm almost angry that they can eat and I can't lol I know it's not their fault and I don't show them how I feel but I do think it!

Yup. Totally understand what that feels like not only at home but at work as well since I do manage a cafeteria to top it off. I'm just so annoyed and I feel a bit of regret at times too.

I'm sorry you are both struggling with these issues post-op. I really want to encourage you to reach out to your respective health care teams for help in dealing with the physical and emotional stresses of adapting to life post-surgery. I know chewing and spitting seems harmless, but it is recognized as a form of disordered eating, and it is how many bulimics get started. Please don't head down that road! It can also mess up your metabolism. Best wishes to both of you going forward.

We are surgery sisters! You are not the only one to feel that way. I cant stand the liquid diet. Soup and Jello and pudding...ugh! Protein shakes are the highlight of my day. I get to start soft Protein tomorrow.

I soo feel left out with everyone talking about these Protein shakes. post-295739-14677635401433_thumb.jpg post-295739-14677635668765_thumb.jpg

This is what my Protein consists of. 3 x's a day. Even though it hasn't done squat for my feeling hungry it has been good for the weakness,nausea, sleepiness and lightheadedness that I was experiencing after getting out of the hospital

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
