you have to stick to the plan and that means NO BURGERS NO eating or drinking whatever you and as much as you like. slow down your eating .you're only just 6 weeks Post op you could do serious damage, your nerves wont be healed yet to give you those "full" signals which is why we get strict eating plans to follow. sorry if I sound harsh but I think someone has to say it. I am sitting here shaking my head at the fact you are eating a full burger at 6 weeks out my god woman what are you doing to yourself. Again just because you can doesn't mean you should.

why on earth are you eating burgers this early after surgery?????, you are not following the plan. you are meant to eat slowly, don't eat burgers or fries or anything like that. What are you drinking ? I suspect that could be a source of uncounted calories too. As I said before just because you can doesn't mean you should . for this to work you have to stick to the plan once you are 6 months out and lost most of your weight then you can play around with it a bit but while you are drinking and eat what you want and as much as you want its not going to work.

Yep just been there I slowed right down to the point of stopping at the 8 month mark. Now at just over 10 months I have finally dropped again. Hopefully it will keep going but it's slow probably a kilo a month.

omg thats awful. I hope you find an employer that appreciates you for you

I thought the same and this applies to me too

lol I saw someone else post about this and I run to the bathroom to check it out as I had given up trying to wrap a towel around me like that and yippee just like you it fit !!

I was just talking to a friend about this the other day, A friend of hers would barely look at me in the past if I saw her in the shops etc ( small town ) anyway the other day she went out of her way to say hi to me twice in one day and I said to my friend is that because I am not fat now ? Its sad really that people are like this I hope I am not one of them.

wooohoooo after bouncing around 72-70 kg's since March I have finally dropped to 69kg

awesome!! its a good feeling isnt it

Might be best to ask your surgical team as you have had a bypass and liveaboard has had a sleeve so absorption will be different.

Me too, I can also wax my bikini line myself too 😆😆

140g eye fillet steak, cup of salad made up of baby spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and crumbled feta cheese. Small baked potato. If I am honest I should have stopped after the steak but had some salad for fibre 😁 the sauce is knorrs bernaise sauce very naughty but yummy.

Yeah I am the same was a 2XL now a small. I look at my jeans hold them up and think no way they will fit me but they do even had a shop assistant give me a size 8 shirt I said that won't fit but it did 🤪.I still find it hard to get use to.

My Neck is awful now too and I noticed some marionet lines today too . I want a neck lift

to me it sounds like you have issues with your blood sugar levels regulating but I am no Dr I suggest you speak to your Dr and get a referral to an Endocrinologist. I was having issue like this post op and it was my blood sugar levels spiking up and down

My Bike is still sitting at the side of the house with flat tyres and my gym membership application still stuck to the fridge and the cosy little winter nest I have made on the couch is getting more and more cosy BUT I have purchased a Kayak and have been out 3 times in 3 weeks the last time being for 2.5 hours

if your tummy doesn't handle the protein shakes don't have them, Scrambled eggs, kids yoghurt ( its thinner ) Mash potato and gravy, mushy stews and stuff like that are great. You can get flavourless protein powder to add to these things to get your protein in. I drank powerade it made it much easier to get my liquids in and cloudy pear juice is easy to get down too and it will help with number 2's as well. As mentioned above iceblocks are good too especially the hydration ones. Yes what you are feeling and going through is all pretty normal just do the best you can it gets easier.

Aawwww big hugs, it gets better it really does. Just do what you can food wise to help me through these stages I had things like KFC mash and gravy, chocolate mousse kids yoghurts and stuff like that. Staying on soft foods longer isn't a bad thing if your tummy isn't ready for the next stage . I was at the 4 month mark before I could comfortably eat real food and I even had days where I couldnt. At this point you are eating such tiny amounts that having things slightly higher in calories isn't going to hurt your weight loss. I know a lot will disagree with that but it worked for me. The restriction lessens so take advantage of it while you can.

Funny you should say that I was just in the food before and after photos and noticed the people that are shorter seemed to eat a lot less and I had the same thoughts I wonder if they have a shorter stomach because I had seen this mentioned somewhere recently. I guess I do have a longish torso because for my height my legs are short lol for example if I was to drive someone's car that was the same height as me I find I have to pull the seat closer to reach the pedals and if they drive my car they always comment gee you must have short legs lol. I guess the surgery can only reduce the width of the stomach and not the length.

Congrats on the poop

I never said it was gone, it has improved dramatically. Prior to surgery I was on 40 mg Nexium and eating Gaviscon dual action tablets almost after every meal as well as the liquid Gaviscon so yes it has improved as my surgeon said it would as he believed my weight was a big factor in my reflux. I am yet to try to come of the nexium although I have been advised to but I remember how awful re-bound reflux is and I am happy with just taking 20 mg. Prior to surgery I had that big side effects fear and wanted to get off them right or wrong but I am comfortable where I am now in regards to my reflux. I didn't want the risk of possible complications that come with a by-pass which is why I opted for a sleeve. Don't worry I had a melt down just before being wheeled into surgery because of my post op Gerd fears ( that I had read about on the internet ). My surgeon reassured me I would be fine and so far I have been.

I am like you I can eat way more than what I think I should/can eat. I can even drink a 600 ml bottle of coke in the space of 20 mins 🤔 not good I know as coke is one of the main culprits of me getting fat in the first place . I reckon I could eat 2 Tacos.. I have to tell myself often "that's enough now your not hungry". I rarely get the full /restriction feeling lots of people talk about. If I allow myself I reckon I could eat all day. I have had to stop bringing food to work on nightshifts otherwise I would just eat all night (another previous bad habit). sigh .........its hard sometimes.

You still have to take Vitamins with sleeve, sorry but I disagree with that statement, I barely took my vitamins directly post op because they made me sick etc and haven't taken any at all since about the 4 month mark, now at 10 months post op my bloods come back fine. I also had gerd before the op and now it has improved dramatically still on 20mg on nexium though. Everyone is different though. I totally agree talk to your surgeon and get a second opinion as Liz has suggested

Now I want loaded fries 🍟 😩 😫 😭 😕 they look so yummy
