So im just wondering...I was sleeved in june and now I noticed that i can hold much much more food and at times I dont realize how much i just ate...so i guess my question would be... seeing as though they remove "the stretchy" part of the stomach and i end up stretching out my new pouch is it possible to get it to shrink back up?? i started a liqued diet this week again to try and do it but do you think im wasting my time???

Thanks for the tip!!!

Ok so im going to be honest the nut I was asigned to is a dip shit and she hasnt given me any helpful advise!!! I am at a stall havent lost anything in almost 2 weeks!! I never feel hungry so when i do eat its mostly because i know i need somthing to get me through the day!! So my question is how much of each cal,prot,carbs should i get in a day??? i am 5'6 and currently 243lbs?? any advise to hold me over until i can get a new nut/diet ??thanks!!

I love eating the healthy choice brand...but i dont even come close to finishing it!! usually last me the entire day...I always choose the ones that have meat and eat it first to try and get the protien in! And yes there are so many to choose from it's also very convenient if your in a hurry or just sick of cooking lol:thumbup:

well my complaining starts tomorrow!! I have a appt because since i started loosing weight i have had unreal hip pain and i really believe its from all this extra weight just "hanging" on my hips!! I am willing to go to the doctor weekly and complain about sores and irritation to get this covered!! =) thanks for the tip:thumbup1:

Is anyone on the public medical card?? Is it possible for them to pay for tummy tucks???

I can eat anything and i truely mean ANYTHING that i want except lettuce!! for some reason i cant get it to even stay down more then 20mins!! I love salads and i often want them is this somthing other people have gone through also??

that helps a bunch!! I dont care if they tighten my muscles or not i just want this flap gone!!! it really makes me feel uncomfortable about my body!!

I was sleeved on june 3rd

I also been eating anything i want since 11 days out including meat!! and my surgeon says everyone is different and what they can tolerate is also different .... I thought my surgery was a fail because of this ability!! But i was sleeved on june 3rd and lost about 45 pounds....maybe a bit slower then others but I am happy with my progress!!!

I was sleeved on june 3rd and I can already eat everything i did before the surgery!! I dont feel any restrictions!! Im already eating steak and I had cake for my sons birthday!! Is this normal?? It seems like everyone else cant eat anything but mush foods!! I just hope I didnt go through this for nothing!! any suggestions??

I had a 2month old and a 2yr old at the time i had my vsg! I just had help the first 2 weeks... it really helped out

i was sleeved on june 3rd and i lost 27 lbs and i gained back 3!!! I havent lost anything in a week!! so i feel your pain!! But my doctor says he believes im in some kind of transition stage!! I sure hope so

I was told I should take 30 minutes to eat my meals no sooner! also I was told to only wait 15 to 30 minutes before drinking fluids! Its crazy how every surgeon says different things!

ok so seen the doctor today he couldnt believe it either!! he said i have a 38 bougie! he wants me to keep doing the post op diet they gave to me even though im not satisfied. he thinks im just in some kind of transition stage and soon it should change ( i hope) so he wants to see me back in 3 weeks to see if there has been a change!!

I was sleeved on june 3rd and I had horrible diarrhea I think it has something to do with all the meds they pumped into ya!! now I cant go at all!!!

well I only had a couple of bites of the cake but I probably ate about 5 oz of steak!! I did chew it until it was very mushy and I didnt even feel full!! It's the same with drinking fluids I can still drink like normal I dont have to sip!! I myself thought it was weird I keep expecting to feel somthing that signals Im full but I dont get that "full" feeling!! I see my doctor tomorrow and Im going to ask him but I really wanted to see if its only me having this problem or if anyone else has?? also what makes it really strange to me is instead of staying 2 days I had to stay 6 days in the hospital because I was unable to drink or eat anything. but once i came home that totally changed!! I really dont want to do anything to hurt my chances of sucess but I feel im still having the same habits I did before and I dont have the restriction to tell me to slow down =*(

im being sleeved thursday and want suggestions for do's and don'ts after surgery?? any helpful tips would be great!! thanks

Im being sleeved on june 3rd i been on this liquid diet 5 days so far and STILL have 2 force myself not to cheat!! does it get any easier???

oh wow lucky you only having 2 days I have to do a total of 12 days clear liquids only!! its been very hard!! good luck thursday!!

Thanks......Im on the clear liquids only.... im doing the jello thing but Im already getting sick of eating that!! sinces its the only "solid" food i can eat! I knew it was going to be tough and Im amazed that I went this long with out cheating!! But I keep trying to tell myself that Im going to be a heathier hot mama at the end of this!!! lol :thumbup1:
