Appetite suppressors



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I recently had the gastric sleeve surgery. It is going well so far.

I just have a few questions

What stage can i start taking capsules?

Does anyone use appetite suppressors?

Ask your surgeon's team about when they want you to switch to capsules rather than liquids or chewables.

And staying as low carb (veggies) as possible along with lean dense Protein is my appetite suppressant. The more carbs I have, the hungrier I get.

I take some pre-workout supplements now that are appetite suppressants. But I take them more for the energy boost (although they do also help with appetite). One is RedCon1 Double Tap which is a stimulant and one is Redcon1 Silencer (non-stim). I wouldn't take them until you are in a serious workout phase and at least 6 months post-op. And, of course, check with your doc. I like Silencer a lot.

I am hoping I don't need them! Of course, I am not allowed to take them anyway (other medical conditions)... but I am hoping surgery, diet control, and exercise are all I need.

I wonder if years down the road when the ghrelin starts to come back (sleeve patients) if we'll need appetite suppressants to reduce the hunger feelings again.

      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! 😞
