You will notice you can tolerate more food the further out you get. Right now your stomach is still healing and as the swelling goes down there will be more room for food. You will also notice some food goes down a lot easier than others and you can eat more of it. Follow your doctors portion control and you will be fine.

Hi all! I am 10 months out. I am curious what you all eat for snacks. Fruit veggies? I have noticed that my snacks protein bars and nuts are higher in calories. Most of my calories are in snacks. I wanted to try something different yet still filling. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You won't stretch it out from liquids

Gain 10 pounds and call it a day. I had to gain 15 to reach 40 BMI. Seems silly to gain 15 for weight loss surgery but I lost 100 in 6 months so well worth it

saraanne1981 replied to Delta_35's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am so jealous!! I wish I received that information. I can schedule an appointment with the nutritionists I guess but I would love to have a forever diet plan. So you eat a cup and a half of food a day? This makes me think I am eating way too much!! Is that information on line somewhere under your doctors office or something? I would love to get a copy of that -

saraanne1981 replied to Delta_35's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Sounds like you have been very successful!! I didn't get a diet plan for anything past 3 months. You are eating a cup and a half of dense protein and then fruit or veggies correct? -
HI all! I am 8 months out and I am curious if there is a great book out there for people who are further out than a few weeks. It is easy to find information for your first few months out but nothing after that. Any websites or books y'all can recommend? Thanks!

Yeah basically. All the focus is on the weight loss phase and nothing on maintenance. Luckily with the sleeve you are pretty normal postoperative. My healthy community is is keto and yoga. Nothing to do with WLS, but helpful communities. So I suggest people adopt a healthy lifestyle and find something outside of WLS communities for long term. There are just not enough long term successful WLS patients to interact with

Feeling sooooooooo good
saraanne1981 replied to mstrice's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Great job!!!! I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but it was a long time before I wanted sweets and bread and fried foods again, those cravings will return and you will be fighting them again. Best way to fight them off is to never give in. Once you give in fighting them off is harder. I just wanted to prepare you. You look awesome!!! Great job!!! -

I want to participate. I am kind of new to this website. WIll the info be up for me to post on the 7th or will I have to search for it? -
I would say so. You get soo many nutrients you would never be able to eat. If you put some protein powder in it you could get your protein too. Much better than a premade protein drink

Long-term stories wanted

I have a friend who is 5 years out and still at goal weight which is on the lower end of her healthy weight. I am only 8 months out myself so I would like to hear more from old timers who have been successful also -

Am I losing too quickly?
saraanne1981 replied to Gerri Anna Hedgepeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My weight wasn't as high as yours I started at 270, but I lost 100 in the first 6 months and then it tapered off. You may not need to worry about loose skin.
