Sorry to hijack but I'm curious I've read that VSG removes hunger hormone but what can you tell me about RNY is your hunger same or different since surgery even in the first few months??? Tnx

That I said correct. Some people's hunger hormone returns, some people's don't. Mine could come back, but it hasn't yet. I'm taking full advantage of that.

My hunger has been only emotion driven. Actual hunger is basically gone. I don’t get actually hungry for like ten hours.

Time for an update! I know many people don’t eat Pasta but here is my meal prep of chicken, Tomato pesto, spinach, fresh parsley in a garlic butter sauce. I got 15 servings out of it and it goes in the freezer portioned out so I can just grab one and go whenever.

I got my Protein chips and bars from bariatricpal today. The chips are super great and I also had the almonds today which are so filling. I wish they didn’t cost quite this much! I’m out of my shakes, waiting for them in the mail. I will be getting on the scale tomorrow, my batteries for the scale finally came in. I have personal training tomorrow, I’m doing well with that. I’m losing about 2.7lbs a week but I should be losing about 3. I eat a little more calories that I should. I’m also having a lot of carbs. No sugar but a decent amount of carbs in addition to my Protein. So, that’s my update.

Just remember how much weight that is. Pick up a lb of butter and you are losing almost 3 of those a week!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
