6 months out. Still cant eat much!



Recommended Posts

I still live mainly on cream Soups n very mushy things. I do do things in the crockpot and pick at them all day to get something in. Even then it's no more than 3 bites at a time. I've lost almost 80lbs n 6 months. Anyone else?

I've lost 84 lbs in 5 months but I have no problem with my schedule and food. I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast and another one for dinner, eat one of the following as a snack: jell-o, chobani yog, low-fat string cheese, cottage cheese with fruit, low fat turkey Snacks or some trail mix, and have fish or chicken for lunch with either salad or steamed veggies. I always get more than 80g of Protein per day. I stay away from meat, I did not love it before surgery either, so I stick to mostly fish.

Maybe you have a stricture.....

Have you talked to your doctor about this? After six months it seems like you should be able to eat more than that. I am only about 3 weeks and I can eat more than you. I'd check to make sure you are getting enough and stay healthy. Good luck!

      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. 🤞
