And not only has my weight loss slowed down dramatically (if at all), but I find mysf craving some of the same foods pre-surgery and on occasion going back to old habits...really trying to stay on track but it's been difficult- I keep telling myself this is a LIFE journey and a complete life change....it feels like I have no restrictions now so it makes it harder because I actually feel hungry- anyone else around the same time and/or can relate?

On a positive note, What has been your success? How much weight have you lost? Remember this is a lifestyle change. Perhaps change up your healthy menu. Check out new recipes for low carb low fat.

You may want to go back to eating the things you were after surgery for a week. Like, cottage cheese and applesauce in the morning, cream of chicken Soup for lunch, chicken breast or Italian meatballs at dinner. Eat Greek Yogurt for snack. And of course don't forget your Protein Drinks and bars.

How many calories and how much Protein are you eating a day?

Maybe someone will chime in and let you know if you're eating enough or to much.

Hang in there. Your body is adjusting still. Depending on how much you had to lose in the first place may have something to do with it. We can't see your stats to know more about your situation.

Hang in there!

Sincerely, Sherri

I was sleeved one month prior to you inJuly. I am in the same boat but I make sure to put that dense protien in. I may be hungry but once I put a quarter cup of cottage cheese and chicken my tummy is fine. I have always stayed away from unhealthy slidders. Also Hot Drinks always fill me up. sugar free hot coco with a dab of whip does the trick. Egg drop Soup too is a good filler but I too get hungry like clockwork. Every 2.5 to 3 hours. I eat 6 small amounts a day. That way the hunger is under control.

      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. 🤞
