@GreenTealael: your tummy must be miniscule. Do you find that your portions are smaller now since your revision, or did you always have the same amount of restriction?

No clue what actual my capacity is ... no doubt smaller (but I suspect its similar to my VSG because I had a stricture then) but it was all the lettuce. I got bored lol. Delicious but boring and tiring to eat so I stopped.

I have often thought OMG do I eat too much? But I think that might be a WLS community thing (the desire to eat the least possible=successful surgery=better outcome) I eat different amounts of different things at different times. But in comparison to my strangers, fam and friends I eat almost nothing.

Today's lunch: Peruvian chicken stew made with a soy sauce and ginger base. The veggies are orange bell peppers and scallions. This time I ate the potatoes. I know it doesn't look nice since I took apart the chicken but its all about the flavor! Most of the dishes I make are suppose to be eaten with rice but I've been getting use to the no rice thing.

The leftovers ended up being my dinner. It took me all day to finish the rest.

Thank you! And yessss I am :D Its nice to know that even after surgery I can eat some what of the same things. I was worried my new stomach wouldn't be able to handle some of the spices and Condiments that are used in Peruvian dishes but I haven't had a problem so far.

I'm struggling y'all. All I can seem to force myself to eat is chips and Peanut Butter cups.

I haven't worked out in about a month and I'm working 15 hour days.

Any advice or tips? My mind after 13 years of competitive swimming and a year of broth, Jello, shakes etc for pre and post op is like "hell no...but slight exception for candy". Otherwise I just don't want anything.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
