Not sure what to think. I am able to eat alot ( I feel like) than what I should at 7 weeks post-op. I eat three meals a day and can eat an egg for Breakfast, tostada with small amount if retried Beans for lunch and then dinner feels like I'm eating more than I should. Is this normal? I feel hungry too. So confused.

I too feel like I'm eating too much! I guess that explains my very slow weight loss lol :-( so sad. I was sleeve nov 13th and I've lost 18 pounds.

Try drinking a glass of low fat milk 20 minutes before eating. The slight heaviness may limit your intake.

I had the same problem after having a sleeve after a band. A year later and I only lost 18lbs.

I just had a plication over my sleeve and can finally et the small meal I expected. I am 3 weeks out and have not lost what imhoped for but I know I will be fine.

That doesn't sound like too much. It sounds like normal portion. I didn't eat that little before surgery -1 egg for breakfast? But now I do. I eat a scrambled egg w chz or boiled egg for bfast. A little cottage chz a few hrs later. For lunch tuna/ chicken about 1/4 c Mabye a couple crackers and 1/2 cup or less for dinner. My problem is I do not drink enough. I know the weight would come off faster of I drank plus I'm impatient but I'm glad I can eat a somewhat " normal" portion just gotta be patient. Good luck;)

I just got weighed for the first time officially post surgery. At 2weeks,2 days, I only lost 7 lbs. you were sleeved almost a month before me, so I think our trajectories are similar. Sigh...I am able to eat 600-800 calories a day...no reprucussions.

      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.
