Hello everyone! This is my first post but I'm stressing and need help. Had gastric sleeve in Mexico on March 1, 2014. Everything has been excellent! Smooth surgery and recovery. In the first couple months I had a few stalls. I've lost 47 pounds so far. Almost 5 months post op! I'm extremely happy with my weightloss but stress about eating too much! Tonight for supper I had a whole grilled cheese sandwich and approx 3/4 cup of Soup. I still think about eating all the time and feel like I can eat waaaaayyyyyy too much! Help! I realize I'm supposed to know when to stop but I don't do please don't be critical of me. Thanks in advance!

Hey there. I had the bypass so idk how much difference there is in restriction but I just tried bread and I was only able to eat 1/8 of a sandwich and 1/2c of soup. Have you had any follow up in the states? Maybe have them do a scan and make sure everything looks "normal" inside. This far out you should be healed enough to feel restriction. What does your primary care physician say?

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well. Can't believe we are coming up on six months. So I'm down to 215. I started my preop diet at 306 but that wasn't even close to my high weight. I was a 2x-3x 22/24 before and now I'm into medium and large tops and 16 bottoms. My 16s are starting to get loose on me.

I don't have any issues eating, which sometimes I wish I did because I can pretty much eat whatever and sometimes I feel like I'm eating constantly. But I'm not eating junk constantly, and I try to focus on Protein, especially if I'm snacking. I go to the gym almost everyday before work too so i think that probably leads to me eating a bit more, but I'm burning those calories off.

HELLO FRIENDS!

I haven't posted in a while. I am not losing like everyone else but I am losing and am happy with that. It is steady yet slow.

I have not been exercising regularly until now. No excuses, no reasons, I should have, could have and didn't. I have lost 46 pounds but the inches have been phenomenal. I have lost 37 1/2 inches. I am in a size large for paints and that is wonderful. My top is smaller but still xlarge, down from 2xl/3xl. I am joining a gym today and making it a part of my routine. Saying I am going to walk doesn't cut it.

Had my surgery March 4th and have lost 62lbs so far. I've had alot of emotional bumps in my road since surgery and with that I'm happy with my progress. But as I come up on my 6 month post op I'm feeling tired again,my hair has been falling out and my nails are so brittle. And I'm not liking food much some days. Is anyone else feeling this way? I'm happy about fitting into smaller clothes but not so much how I'm feeling on the inside.

Yes I don't like food much either. Dealing with nausea but my energy is good. When was the last time you had your Iron level checked? I take Biotin daily so no issues with hair. Good job on your weight loss and I hope you feel better soon

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
