Hard to do, but remember you are choosing to gain weight back. You may not realize it, but everything you put in your mouth is a choice. You didn't sit down one day and say I want to gain weight, but every time you take a bite of the wrong stuff or too much you choose to do that. Nothing is easy about it, otherwise none of us would be here. I find the first thing to do to get back on track is to be accountable. Track every single bite, count calories and then it will likely be very obvious what needs to change. Unfortunately it's harder once you're out a while from the sleeve and it's more like a regular diet. I'm personally going through this now and being accountable has helped me get back to where I should be in terms of eating. Don't give up. It's a life long battle and you haven't lost

I too was told to walk walk walk. However I injured my back two weeks after surgery and have not been able to. I find the slower I eat the better I feel. If I have any gas pain, I chew A Gas-X and it goes away quickly. I'm a month out now and I don't have the gas as much as I did. I have developed better habits as far as eating slower and very very small bites that I chew a lot. Also I had severe constipation from the pain medication due to my back. This really was difficult. But I'm past that now no more pain meds. I'd rather have the back pain. Sent from my SM-J327P using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeve on 3-22 and I feel the same way not hunger but drink plenty of water and protein shakes food has no appeal to me and just trying to eat soft foods gets boring. I have tried like chicken and chicken salad but at this point I can only tolerate 3or 4 baby spoons and my taste buds have change tremendously please tell me they will return to normal

Good luck and best wishes for a safe rapid recovery:)

Food Funerals. Lots of people have them:)

Before surgery, I had constant hunger. When I was eating a meal, my mind was thinking what I would have for my next meal. It was incessant. Now the interesting thing that occurred after my RNY surgery was that I completely lost my hunger. It was not difficult to plan my minuscule meals because I wasn't really hungry. This condition does not last forever but for about a year and then the hunger returns. It just isn't as strong as before.

I travel a lot for my job too and had to learn how to survive. It’s really hard when I go out with clients and don’t drink and barely eat!! When out to dinner with a group I always order something that has grilled chicken I can eat. Last week I ordered chicken fajitas and just opened the tortilla and ate the chicken. Also, every time I get to a new city I’ll Uber to a cvs or grocery store and get a box of protein bars. I do the Atkins snack bars when in a pinch. I’ve also learned that restaurants can be really accommodating! If you need to sub in a veggie for a starch most of them are happy to do it! My favorite trick? I have a client contact who likes to DRINK! And he makes it really uncomfortable for anyone who doesn’t. In this situation I’ve learned to volunteer to order the drinks and ask the bar tender to give me iced tea served in a high ball glass... my boss finally figured me out but no one else! Hope this helps! Being the only one on a strict diet can suck, hang in there!

Mine is like that all the time. I use the VA system so they will only focus on one thing at a time and right now it is the arthritis in my shoulders. I wish I could tell you that the tailbone thing gets better, it doesn't (at least not for me). It hurts to ride in the car, it hurts to sit in my chair at night, it hurts when I sit in a chair at work. the only thing that seems to help is if I lie down. Good luck to you, I hope you can get the relief that I am currently unable to get.
