I was sleeved on 11/20/17 GERD is messing with me and making me think I am hungry. I just had my omeprazole increased and waiting for that to help anyone else have this problem?

Because I experienced this before surgery when I had eaten a lot. It happens now too when I have eaten.

Thanks for asking this! I am a month out and very anxious about the holidays. I was sleeved 5 days before thanksgiving and the smells and sights were tempting but my family didn’t push me. I know they all have been worried about my weight so saying no wasn’t pushed back that hard on. I definitely think there is no harm in a white lie. Saying you have a little upset stomach won’t hurt. If the gathering gets too stressful you can leave early and blame it on not feeling well. I have already told my partner that we need to come up with an excuse to leave my famillg early because I don’t want to deal with all the temptation. I am also bringing some homemade no sugar added applesauce so I know I have a safe sweet to have. You got this! Just remember why you are doing this.

Hi! I am new here. I have a follow up with my surgeon on 9/21 and he said if all my tests were good and I had lost 5-10% of my weight we could be looking at surgery in October or November. I think I am down 2 lbs and will need to drop 15 more! I am having a hard time losing weight. I dieted for so many years and always managed to lose some weight but always gained it back. I quit drinking 3 years ago and since then have gained 60 lbs and have not been able to get much off. I am 340 now and my highest was 350. Work is super stressful and my best coping skill is exercise but my back and neck hurt and my asthma is out of control at this weight. I am looking for some cheerleading and any support/tips from anyone! Thanks!

Thanks for all the support. I ordered a bunch of different protein powders to help! I figured I will be needing them anyway!
