I am 3 months out. I feel the same way. Some days I feel ok, but on days that I have a lot of restriction I can get very depressed. It is def not easy!

I hadmy surgery with one of his partners Dr Bagloo. All the Columbia docs are great. I know people who have used the others.

I only had them in the hospital

10 wks. 40 lbs. I'm not gonna lie, it's a big lifestyle change, but still happy I did it. My life just doesn't revolve around food anymore. I no longer live to eat. I eat to live! You'll do great!

Yes. Very normal. Lasted for me about 3 weeks

You look great! I was also sleeved 2/17. 36.4 pounds since surgery.

Vitafusion gummy vitamins are delicious! The flintstones make me gag. I also take chewable biotin, B12 injections once a month, vitafusion cslcium chews, and vit d 5000 iu. I am 2 1/2 months post VSG.

A few co workers had banding or sleeve. I dieted and lost 50 lbs. my weight came back and theirs didn't. Story of my life! Lose it amd gain it back. Plus some! I dont have a problem losing weight. I am an expert! It's keeping it off that made my decision to be sleeved.

I no longer live to eat. I now eat to live! Things I enjoyed before surgery turn me off now. It's very strange. I feel like they rearranged my taste buds!

Well said LynRN!!

@ McButterpants- that pizza sounds fabulous. Am going to try it tomorrow. No pepperoni though. Maybe mushrooms. It's Good Friday.

I am 9 weeks out and ate 1 slice of salad pizza. I ate the salad and then took small bites of crust. I only ate half of the crust. Some days though I feel like I cant eat anything. Every day is a surprise as to how much and what I will be able to get down. Today was a good day and for dinner I had 1 slice of london broil and some grilled veggies. Delicious! So happy! The days that I have trouble eating makes me very depressed!

I am also an RN with a BSN. CNA's, MA's, surg tech's, xray tech's, etc ARE ALL in the medical field. I don't really understand where you are coming from Suzysleever.

I get hunger pains too. I take prilosec daily so I dont tbink it's reflux. Also had my hiatal hernia repaired. I didnt think we were going to feel hunger! Ugh!

I think your body just adjusts to the new amount and then with the addition of purees it adjusts again. It eventually says "hey lets drop a few pounds"!
