I felt the same way until I had more solid foods. What stage of food are you on? I’m on mushy food and feel much more satisfied and get full with them. (Beans, can chicken/tuna, sunny side eggs) I didn’t get the full feeling with blended Soups and Protein Shakes.

I had a vsg done 10/15, started out at 389, weighed this morning, fully dressed 339.

Only complication was a go round with gout. I think the dehydration post op a few days triggered it. A round of steroids and Percocet and I was good as new in a few days. No dumping, no hunger, bp feels down.

Went out to the moose lodge last night and forgot to wear a belt, my shorts kept slipping off my ass night. (No no drinking other than a unsweet tea). It’s funny because I wore the same shorts the day of surgery and they were snug on my hips. Good problem to have I guess.

2 week post op dr visit is Tuesday... I’m ready to get back to work.

Had my surgery on 10/25 everything went well, came home on Friday and that evening started having horrible gas pains and spasms which is like the most part have gone away but still have this spasm type reflux type in my chest that comes and goes I can only drink warm liquids nothing cold trying to get my liquids in which is a little hard with the spasm/reflux. Any suggestions that would help for their spasm or reflux gas x isn’t working?

Well, tomorrow it is. I'm still not confident I've made the right decision, but I'm going to do it. My SIL is flying here to take care of me and my therapist emailed me Thursday to check in. So glad I have some supportive people in my life. At least I get some time off work - right? :)

Can I put a plug for Dress for Success (or something like it ) vs. plain ol' Goodwill/Salvation army? They outfit women who are getting out of poverty for job interviews (and otherwise help them with job skills). In most areas, they have a lot of plus sized clients and few plus size donations. Sorry if I'm incorrectly assuming you're a woman.

Notmyname we have something similar here but I’m actually going to give them to my stepmom first, she has a woman she works with that really needs them. Anything she doesn’t take will go there.

      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
