Recommended Posts

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.

I'm feeling so sorrow for goin back to those days that food ruled my life.

I'm seeing a psycologist for depression, hoping to find the real reason for my gluttony(?)

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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
