Are you near goal weight? I always heard to wait until your goal weight has maintained for 6 months

I have not had surgery yet but in the process of losing weight pre-surgery. It's all in the mindset. I used to "live to eat" but now I only "eat to live". "Live to eat" means I couldn't wait until the next meal, or next snack. I've been working on switching my thoughts to not making food the big ritual it was. It's now like putting gas in my car. My body needs nutrition and I give it that but my focus now is on other parts of my life. I hope that's helpful.

It does get easier with each day. Keep your eyes on the prize. Usually by day three it becomes so much easier, especially when all the carb cravings are gone. You can do it!!

Getting a bit closer not sure what im suppose to do

Awwww thank you so much for your comments I really needed a reply like yours. I'm freaking out I feel like the surgery never took place. I too only get a discomfort when taking too big a drink. I too have followed my doctor instructions to the letter so I guess that's why I've had no complications. Again thank you for your reply and good luck on your journey xxx Sent from my SM-G955F using BariatricPal mobile app

My Dr said the first 6 weeks post-op are for healing not losing weight.

I'm scheduled for VSG on May 24th. I have childcare sorted for my 7 year old daughter now which is a huge relief..BUT I am going to be completely on my own and I'm so scared

RNY here....i noticed a decline in dumping at 19 months. Now I very rarely dump. If I dump it's not from sugar but from Sucralose which can be found in some sugar free foods. I dumped from sugar free cookies but I can eat normal sugar cookies. I could probably not eat a full slice of chocolate cake but I can have a few bites. Not cause of dumping but because it just wouldn't feel good in stomach too much sugar and fat.

I think that's AMAZING! to have someone who can go through this process with you

Thank you. 57.3 here. So I understand.
