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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
