My gastric sleeve which I just had surgery in April I would say is super restrictive. Now some other bariatric groups I am in they expressed concerns because they felt they could still eat a lot of food. A lot of this journey is mental and I am unsure if those who were saying they felt they could eat more than they should was still battling the mental aspect of surgery. It's the best thing you could do. It's a chance to start anew.

Great thread ladies I'm 4 months post op and kinda get crazy and wild around ovulation time sorry not sorry haha. So I'm on here looking at people's weight gain during pregnancy and or any issues they might have had. Good to stay prepared!

Nickelchip im sorry I had to chuckle very loudly when you stated you could chew a peice of broccoli and be in agony. That is the same way I feel about chicken for some reason it feels like it gets stuck in my chest and I want to throw it against the damn wall. Some days me and chicken can have the perfect love affair. Ohhhhhhh heaven heaven is Brisket and again I'm with you! *sighs. This is my birthday week and I'm already fantasizing about the bar b q I will eat; To only get full on a few chomps 😡

Awesome! Very good! Slow and steady wins the race! Trust me 50lbs can be noticed! Stay encouraged! A lot of times it could people not wanting to be nosy and pry, jealousy, etc you never know what goes through people's minds! I was just thinking this as well I pretty much also make myself eat! It's so strange not to have cravings. I literally will enjoy this state as much as possible lmao! I'm not ready for cravings to kick in full force!

Hi April Surgery buddies how are we doing? How is the weight loss coming?

I love this! So Happy for you! These are the type of WINS that keep me happy and on track! Keep reporting! Keep in touch! Obesity as a disease is a life long struggle but we got this! 🤘🏽💪🏼

Awesome...I think I will go ahead and give it try! The leg and wrist weights sounds good.

Outdoors I am in Texas and the sweat is good and helps with weight loss I'm about to get a gym membership so I can get mentally prepared before winter 😩😩😩

Thanks the journey is Hard but it's REAL! I'm a 4am every morning crazy lazy running 5 miles I think that contributed to the fast drop in these 4 months!

Congrats welcome to the "lighter side of life" weight loss brings about those type of changes 😂

I was on ozempic for diabetes and weight management before my sleeve surgery on 4/11/24. I'm in the honey moon phase where the surgery as completely eliminated food noise. Ozempic was a dream drug for me I lost a lot of weight before surgery and I will gladly get back on it if in the future cravings come back and weight gain. I see nothing wrong with it!

This is a major WIN! I love this happy surgerversary! And good job on your weight loss! It's HARD but it's REAL! Everyday is something new!
