I just heard that you can have any bread for at least 4 to 5 months. I don’t think I could ever go that long without eating one slice or half slice of pizza. Is this true?

Loosing my hair like crazy.....I started to loosing my hair post Menopause about two years ago so I have been taking two biotin nutrients a day plus Purador hair loss shampoo. My nutritionist also informed to to also start taking collagen pepitides powder daily. Still my hair is falling out crazy amounts. It’s not from a lack of protein I’m eating plenty of that. Does anybody know how long the hair loss continues or here is a better question when does it grow back?!!

Most of the time when I eat now my stomach makes a lot of noise. It’s embarrassing as others can hear it too 😞. I talked to my surgeon about this on my 3 month check up and he stated that noise is from air being in my stomach but I don’t know how that is possible. My stomach never made any noises prior to my surgery

Hi everyone! Just to let you all know that I am doing great. Down 35 lbs since my surgery on 10/26 and counting. Was frustrated and I had some regrets about my surgery just because Of the stalls I was having that’s all! And guess what people I did eat ONE slice of pizza and had no stomach issues!! All of you judge mental people are just so ridiculous. I am happy and proud of my weight loss journey and that all that matters.

I am starting to regret that I had this surgery. My surgery dates was 10/26 and to date I have lost 28lbs which includes the two week pre diet. I had a stall which lasted 2 and 1/2 weeks and then I started losing weight again only to hit another stall now. That being said I have only lost 6lbs this entire month. I could of just done any regular diet and probably would have lost more weight than having this surgery. Feeling so Disheartened and depressed. I started to increase my calorie intake to about 600-700 per my nutritionist and I am walking 2 miles a day. I feel like a freak and don’t know what I am doing wrong.

Hang in there i know the feeling. My stall lasted 2.5 weeks...I thought i was losing my mind as i had the same thoughts as you. The scale is FINALLY moving. I am putting it away and will only weigh myself every two weeks. The scale is an evil thing!!!

Congratulations you are doing great! Tomorrow starts my 6th week and i have lost 28 lbs total. I had a stall that lasted almost 3 weeks and the scale is finally moving.

Thanks br3n! You made me feel better. I thought i would have this surgery and the weight would just fall off. Not the case...but I am down 2 sizes and i will start to take measurements. The scale is an evil thing! LOL

My surgeon stated that there are too many carbs in dairy. I just started having some meats and they are not digesting very well with me. I am shocked that so many doctors have such different diets post surgery. I am not in agreement with my doctor regarding nothing but protein and only 3 meals a day so I am going to listen to what my body is telling me. How can i eat only meat when i am still having such a problem digesting it?

I just came back from my one month checkup with my surgeon. He informed me not to have any carbs just protein and to eat only 3 meals a day. I don't think that is right for me as i still can only tolerate about 2 ounces a food at a time and I don't think 6 ounces a food a day is good for my system. I will still continue to eat 5 small meals a day. He did state for me to still have eggs and vegetables, just no bread or pasta. He also informed me that i was having too much dairy in my diet (i.e. protein drinks, yogurt, lowfat cottage cheese).

OK my stall has been two weeks now. I tried and increased my calorie intake and that still has not worked. Feeling I made the wrong decision with this surgery. Has anyone else have a stall for this long?

thank you so much....very detailed I need that

I am on my 5th week now. Can somebody please tell me about how many calories I’m supposed to be taking in each day?

I had my VGS surgery on 10/26. I have not lost any weight for 13 days. I am just starting soft foods and I try to eat between 5-6 meals a day and I have about 2 oz at each meal. Am I eating too much?

You are not alone. I had my surgery on 10/26 and I am having the same issues. I feel like a volcano and I have been on Dexilant (anti heartburn medication) for years and its not working now.

Team, I ordered this great barbaric cookbook off Amazon. Each recipe shows which of the four phases we can eat: F-Full liquid, P-Puree, S-Soft Food, G-General Diet. There are other barbaric cookbooks on Amazon but they include bread/rice which we cannot have on this diet. Great recipes and pictures, What to toss from your pantry and what to stock up on. Lots of helpful information, i learned a lot. !

Hi Flyawayfree. My surgery was 10/26 and i am now on my 7th day of stall, no weight loss for an entire week. I am taking away my EVIL scale and bringing it to my friends house where i will only weigh myself every two weeks. For me, the scale is messing with me too much mentally and is not healthy for my mindset. That being said, i have been extremely emotional the past 3 weeks. I don't know if it is related to the hormones that are now missing from the part of our stomachs that were removed or not. Some days i wake up empowered and the next day i find myself with crying spurts without the entire day. I too am also going through a personal situation that is sad. You are not alone. Every night right before i go to sleep i say to myself repeatedly (not out-loud) "Every day, in every way, i am getting better and better". Its helps me, hope it helps you......

Sleeved 10/26 F/59/5’6” HW 229 SW 219 CW 207 GW 150 My scale has not moved for 6 days. Feeling frustrated...

Hi I was sleeved 10/26 and my scale has not moved in 6 days! I’m doing the right amount of fluids and doing brisk walks for 2 miles every day and nothing is coming off

I am 3 weeks post op. Can someone please tell many how many ounces I’m supposed be eating of cream soups, ricotta cheese, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, etc?

I had my VGS surgery on 10/26. For the last 4 days I have not lost any weight and I am just drinking protein shakes, creamed soup and water. I am at a stall, is this happening To anyone else. Feeling very frustrated 😞

Hi Ellen I hope you feel better soon! I woke up this morning feeling very weak, shaky and nauseous and in a fog. One day at a time...

I feel really stupid but can someone please explain to me how I can toggle between the names being in red and the names being in blue where I can reply to them?

Thanks Yvonne I am taking Dexilant which is very strong but still having issues. I will have to play closer attention as to which foods are causing this. I am post op two weeks so I am only on creamed soups etc

How do you reply to someone’s comment?
