2 months post today!



Recommended Posts

I’m two months post today, feeling great overall and I’m down almost 50lbs. Just discovered today that my pouch + rice = disaster so I will not be trying that again anytime soon. I was never a big rice fan anyway so I’m unbothered.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Congrats on the 2 months out!

I read somewhere that rice expands in the stomach. I’m 7 weeks out and have been afraid to try rice! Now reading your post is another “no rice” message. I plan on skipping rice. Like you it’s no big deal.

I’m glad you are feeling great!

That’s probably why. Every other starch I’ve tried has been fine but rice tore me up. It was bad! So I’d say avoid it for as long as you can. It’s not even worth it. Happy 7 weeks!

I'm over 6 months out and have been afraid to try rice. I do miss it though. I have tried riced cauliflower and it is close to the same kind of texture. I want to try it like a fried rice sometime. You can buy it frozen at some grocery stores.

Congrats on 2 months!

I’m four months out... and part Asian. Rice is life. I don’t eat much but I haven’t had any problems with it.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
