Am I Eating Too Much?



Recommended Posts

I am just a couple days short of 4 weeks out. I also can eat 600-800 calories without issue. I was 258 to start last October. I was 224 the day of surgery and I am 210 today, so I am not losing as fast as others. Having said this, I am glad I can eat comfortably and as long as I can average a couple of pounds a week, or 8-10 pounds a month, I think I can be satisfied with that. Hopefully, this means less excess skin to deal with?

I had my gastric sleeve on 1/28/14. Since then I dropped 34 lbs. I am stuck btw 233-235 for over 3 weeks now. I work out with a personal trainer 2-3 times a week. I'm also noticing that my appetite has increased. I want to go down some more my Weightloss goal is 180 lbs. I made an appt. to see the nutrition tomorrow. I hope I don't stay like this forever.

I'm 3.5 months out and have lost 65 pounds. I've been getting 1200 to 1500 calories in a day since I got on solid food. I've also been running every other day though. On the days that I do run I sometimes get closer to 2000 calories. Still losing 2-3 pounds a week. I have stalled twice for about a week at a time. That is expected though.

      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. 🤞
