After sleeved lost almost 40 Kilos. My pregnancy add to my, after sleeve weight 17Kg, but i suffered major post-birth depression. My stomach gut bigger during pregnancy but almost 2 years after, i 'm still eating bigger portions. Everything has changed, HOW CAN I GO BACK TO OLD DAYS??? After pregnancy continue gaining weight, probably because of dipression and Prozac. Eating only sweets for comforting...

I have to reduse my stomach capacity again.

HELP!

P.S. Sorry for the bud spelling, i'm not using english writing very often.

Sstart with modifying your diet. Less carbs, Protein only meals or replace with a shake. More fluids! You know you can do it, you've done it before!! Some people do the sleeve or pouch test to shrink the sleeve. There is also an operation called stomaphyx that can reduce size of sleeve if yours is truly stretched. Wish you all the best!

Yup, I'd recommend a complete reset. Go back like you just had surgery and progress through the stages. Watch those sugars.

Stay away from sugars & starches for (at least) a few weeks. These foods stimulate the same receptors in your brain that drugs & alchohol do for their addictions. The stimulate cravings for more starches & sugars.

If you can get away from them for a few weeks you'll notice the cravings will be greatly reduced.

Antidepressants also put weight on, so you are dealing with another issue all together. Go back to the basics, and don't be so hard on yourself. YOU CAN DO IT!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
