The "you are guaranteed to lose your hunger" bs surrounding the sleeve is exactly that, bs. No surgery is guaranteed to make someone lose their hunger sensation. All the Ghrelin "research" isn't solid fact, we still don't understand hunger, how it happens, what *actually* triggers it, etc. Currently the information around Ghrelin is "we believe" not "we know". The sad truth is, the majority of WLS patients, no matter the surgery, will retain some level of hunger sensation or will regain that sensation within a year of surgery. It's rare that someone loses the sensation permanently. And some, never lose it at all. So if someone promised you that the sleeve would kill your hunger because it "removes" ghrelin production... well, they didn't tell you all the facts.

I love scallops. They feel completely decadent when they are actually lean and protein packed.

Maybe start from scratch? Go back to protein shakes once or twice a day. Try to prepare your food ahead of time. So maybe put a portion in a container and know that’s what you can have. Also, try to go to a support group or therapy and talk it out. I like the support groups because I get good ideas and I don’t feel alone in this journey. You can get back on track!!!! Good luck!

...and oddly not hungry. I definitely feel like I'm missing something, but not necessarily food. I'm a little bit tired, but mostly just fine. A few pounds dropped off, but Premier stops me up like no tomorrow. So what I'm saying is......NOT SO BAD!!!

Well, it definitely is heading closer to my surgery. I just had my psyche consult. The results were good and no recommendations. Just keep on what I am doing. I have preop physical on the 11 of December. Then I have a final decision appointment yet to be scheduled with the surgeon and nutritionist. I am looking at hopefully the middle to end of January

Happy 3 months to ME Happy 3 months to ME Happy 3 months of getting thinner Happy 3 months to ME My exit weight after this hospiti,/incarceration, well that's what it feels like after a week, 259,6 pounds, pretty good when I had a High Weight of 366 in October 2017. And the next. 75 down, hard work ahead but achievable. One of the few times in life when someone says " You're Less the woman you used to be" that it is a Compliment. So a High 5 for me👋and a prayer 👼🙏that things will continue healthily!

Currently sitting in my pre-op room getting ready to have surgery. Ready to get on to the next stage and better my heath. Anyone else having/had surgery today?

I'm the 12th! So excited!!!

My Boy friend and I are doing a couples sleeve together on December 12th In Tiajauna Mexico we are also self pay. I honestly think I am dreading the pre op diet more than anything....but the thought of being slimmer and healthier this time next year I know will make it all worth it. Best wishes to you all.
