So I’m struggling with the whole thought of loose skin. I’ve lost 60 pounds already. I’m 5’4. The gastric sleeve was a medical necessity not by choice I have an autoimmune disease. I was 280 now I’m 220 about 8 weeks post op. I was always comfortable in my skin. Now idk. I keep losing and I know that I won’t be able to afford plastics. TMI but I also have big boobs. Always have since high school when I was a skinny. Now I worry I’m just going to be a walking flab. Im getting insecure which is not like me at all. The struggle is real.

I’m 6 weeks out. And was able to eat loaded mashed potatoes. Only about 4 tablespoons. I regret it now. No dumping syndrome nothing. Just guilt. Worried that I will be able to just eat anything like normal. 😑

I had robotic sleeve surgery. I’m 5 weeks post op. It went so smoothly. I only got 3 incisions. And they are fully healed. I had minimal pain. Went home same day and back to work 3 days later. Honestly didn’t feel like I had surgery at all.

I have a 6 month prescription for Prilosec My surgeon has me taking one everyday in the morning. It wasn’t anything reflex though. More like sour tummy. But I’ve established it’s what I ate. I don’t have issues with heart burn or anything like that.

Yes I actually do this already. And I did eat the same thing two days in a row for dinner. We will keep seeing what works and what doesn’t.

I thought the same Thing but it’s only happening at night. So I wonder if it was something I ate. Last night I was better.

What do you guys do when you feel gross. Idk how to explain it. Like I met my protein and liquid goals today. I go potty everyday. But the last 2 nights I felt yuck. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and had to take Pepto. But I don’t want always take meds. Never been a fan of a lot of medications. I used to drink ginger ale. Obviously can’t do that anymore.

Guys I made the ricotta bake. 😲 why did I wait so long to make the this!?! This is amazing.

So a tip my nutritionist told me was take pea size bite every minute. It has helped me meet my Protein goals. 😊

I tried to make a hard boiled egg yesterday. I ate 1/4 of it. I couldn’t eat all of that in one day. The struggle is real. I’m almost 4weeks post op. It’s like my appetite left me after 3 weeks.

So not a fan of tuna lol. I am never hungry so it makes it even harder. 🫤

So the last 3 days I can’t meet my protein goal. I’m on soft foods. Only 1 protein drink a day. I’m never really hungry. I try and eat and take 3 bites and I’m done. I meet my liquid goal but that’s it. My dr wants me to eat 3 to 4 small meals a day and try not to do more then 1 protein drink. I’m never hungry 😑

Ok so I’m now 3 weeks post op and today everything taste like metal. 😑 why does this randomly happen?

Which surgery are you having? I was in and out same day so I didn’t take anything. Just wore comfy clothes. I napped before surgery. But definitely phone charger.

I’m on soft foods to and I get full fast. I barely eat an ounce or two each meal. One shake takes me almost an hour to drink. Sometimes I drink half and then drink the other half later. I meet my goals each day but it takes me 3 to 4 tiny meals and a snack through out the day.
