A Little More Control



Recommended Posts

So I had my gastric sleeve surgery Feb 2013. I was 300 pounds and got down to 180 pounds. Then I got pregnant December 2014. And I gained 50 pounds. And I haven't lost any. I felt like I lost all control with food. Like I was just starving. Well 2 days ago I started trying to get all my Protein in with shakes and I have been eating like 2 lean cuisines, that have a lot of protein in them, a day. It was awful the first couple days but today I woke up feeling like I had a lot of control and like I was satisfied not being stuffed. I've only been eating/drinking 800-1000 calories and I'd say I'm eating less than 50 carbs. I haven't been counting but I'm sure its low since only like 500-600 calories is in meals. So I feel pretty happy right now! I worked the past couple days and work was so boring. It was hard not to eat, especially since I work night shift AND I was training someone new. I kept complaining all night that I was hungry lol! It feels so nice to wake up feeling this good. :) I hope I can keep it up. Oh! And I've lost 3 pounds! I know it's mostly Water but it is encouraging. :)

Good job! Getting over the hump the first few days always seems to be the hardest, but once you do, it seems to get easier to get back on track. You'll feel less hungry and tighten up that pouch a bit making it easier to stay the course. You can do it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
