it's weird cuz im drinking fine. but food just is like icky right now. i dont think im taking small enough bites but also i feel like shit. don't even wanna eat. gonna get some more pepcid tonight cuz im running out.

hey gang. so. i feel like im having trouble eating. not only cuz i don't feel well most of the time. (which by the way im used to from having gastritis for the last 20 years) but also like i can't even get more than a few bites of food down lately. like today i've had 4oz of tea, like five bites of cottage cheese and about five bites of refried Beans and i feel shitty. like it's in my throat and i just don't feel good. got a headache. feel icky. little nauseous. im about 15oz of Water in. i feel like i need a break like to sleep for a week or something. idk what's up.

i agree with goblue. i also lost weight too. over and over and over again. keeping it off was another story. but if you feel strong and motivated then by all means push it back. but i would say (as goblue said) push it 3 to 6 months and see where you're at. you want to have the option. i was at a point of desperation when i chose this and i think that's where you have to be to make sure you don't regret it and that it's worth it to you. years and years of yo yo dieting don't go away over night. but if your mind has shifted permanently then good for you. we all have our own journeys.

agreed. the Water is very hard. going out to eat sucks anyways right now so you're not missing out. and i do find that i am being cautious - like there is this amazing chocolate cake here at work. i had a couple bites last week at a going away party but i'm not gonna touch it again. i had this thought last night that this was kinda like a game and i could make a little tiny hamburger with french fries (4oz worth) and it would be adorable and then i thought WTF Mila. no. you still have to make good choices and then when you're skinny you can make your mini burger thing like once a week lol. smh. so while the sleeve is a tool - you really have to still make good choices. so yay us. xo

yah it's very typical. i felt really tired most of the two weeks post op and even sometimes now. i think you're body is just adjusting.

hi guys. bit of an up and down weekend. and i find, when i go out to eat and pick at a bunch of random crap, not only do i usually feel icky (tummy) but i also don't lose. so yesterday i couldn't eat much cuz i felt icky so i had Soup in my little 4oz container (came to 3.5oz), some peaches, a sugar free popsicle and 1/2 Protein shake. it's all i could really muster. i lost a pound which is great we'll see how i do today. good luck today everyone. xoxo

this is a good thread/group. Really supportive. Welcome!

Nice! We're not that close in stats but we can still journey together! ???? I'm doing ok. I'm 5'3. Started at 232. I'm 215 now. Had a couple rough days but nothing was as bad as the liquid he'll portion for two weeks lol. I was October 7th also ????

It took me a while but I realized I pretty much had to stay mushy for now and I had to measure as long as I stay between two and 4 ounces I seem to be OK but every once in a while I do a protein shake and don't even try to eat because it is tricky right now. But hey whatever works as long as you're getting your protein let's keep getting skinny :-) what are your stats?

I'm sharing pretty much the same exact journey as you. Trying to figure out the "real food" thing now.

I'm not. I usually am the opposite (diarrhea). I hear stool softeners work

My God yes. Best breed ever. My brownie had his ear chewed when he was found. Sweetest most loving dog I've ever been blessed to love.

Haha that little cutie face. Thanks Jimmy!

Yeah. The sleeve is in charge. And I'm fine with that

so of course, accordingly, i feel like shit today. guess it's Protein shakes for me today (if i can stomach them) no pun intended

Oh no it wasnt left overs it was freshly made I just didn't measure it like an idiot

Ok. Just experienced what eating too much feels like. Vomited. Feel little better. Ugh. Gotta get more diligent about measuring my food. ????

im not tracking my food with anything lol. but im gonna start. glad you liked the refried thing. i love that snack. sounds like a good day

i had a friend that used these tips http://www.findhomeremedy.com/11-fantastic-remedies-for-liver-enlargementhepatomegaly/ i myself stopped drinking coffee and alcohol and stopped taking any NSAIDs (anti inflammatories) or opiates (loratab) etc that i was given for my sciatica. and my surgery went fine. i dont really know what calories have to do with your liver but then i'm not a doctor. either way you can do it! hang in there.

had a pot luck at work. i had three pieces of rotini Pasta, couple bites of some shrimp ceviche. little bit of chicken tortilla Soup like four bites (didn't eat any of the chicken tho). one bite of a kiwi, two bites of flan and two bites of chocolate cake. ha! just saying. you aren't restricted you just can't eat much. but still got to taste most things. stayed away from the rice and tortilla chips. prolly do pears for snack then Protein shake type thing for dinner. tomorrow i'll get on the tracking i got indigestion but it's to be expected with that smorgasbord of food. i took two pepcid and i'm ok now.

im not sure what you are eating but one thing i noticed was no sugar, low sodium, no carbs and no caffeine - like in the first 2 weeks post op - i had NO mood swings at all like i used to. food rage is a real thing. look into it. good luck

ive' never had them but making cheese crisps in the oven is super easy and super delicious i used to do it all the time when i was low carbin before. its basically spray the pan with pam and sprinkle cheese in little rounds. delish!

i don't have a uterus anymore but when i did i had periods like that and they got very painful. i had fibroids. its very common. it's def a gyno issue. i personally don't think it's a surgery issue. i've seen the surgery done on youtube and it doesn't touch that part of your body but you could call your dr anyways to ask (since im not a doctor) i think it's a gyno thing.

lost a pound lost a pound lost a pound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!! so i'm still on track. that being said - i gotta get my tracking in order. i'm gonna get better. it's only been one day of real food but i didn't track at all. so i dunno if i'm getting enough of anything. i know i know! bad girl. i'll do it today or maybe tomorrow lol. i promise! #badgirl

To be honest I think just feeling satisfied comes with feeling guilty for me because that's the way it's always been but like you said if the scale shows 216 or less tomorrow I'll just get used to feeling satisfied and happy and still being on track. I need to get my numbers down tomorrow I went a little off today just eating one or 2 ounces and not really thinking about numbers I guess I got tired of doing that for the last two weeks but I'll get on top of it.
