My silly little head.....



Recommended Posts

Hi, I had my surgery 10/21 and I have lost 45 pounds! Which is great but over the last month I haven't lost any weight. I'm not sure if I need another fill or not but I struggle with my head a lot! I will eat and I feel satisfied but my head wants more and more. Sometimes I can eat and till I'm STUFFED....a feeling I haven't had in MONTHS. Sometimes I can't. I'm afraid of getting another fill because I'm not sure I need one because it's my head. I feel like I'm loosing control and motivation. I've been sneaking See's! I guess I'm putting this out there for accountability, I need to be accountable for this and I need to get my self in check.

accountability is one of the hardest things to deal with. Congrats on being able to identify your issues. Maybe you could try and see a nutritionist so they can help you identify your problem areas.

Are you exercising? If not that could be part of the halt in your weight loss.

Either way you are taking the right step in knowing that you do have a problem , whatever it may be.

Wishing you health and happiness.

If your head is still wanting more, you're not quite to the sweet spot YET. I knew it, when I was because my brain literally was REWIRED. Seriously. I STOPPED thinking about food and grazing, I started 'thinking like a normal person' and literally had a breakdown over it, cause I was so happy. A tiny fill might get you to that point. My philosophy is to WORK THE BAND.

I never believed it either, but I am getting close to my sweet spot and I have to say, after my fill earlier this week (my fourth one, taking me to 6.9 cc in my 10 cc band) I have had NO head hunger. Eating just enough has been EASY. I am averaging 900-1100 calories per day without effort at all. Prior to that, I was struggling with head hunger a lot.

Good luck!

      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! 😞
