I need someone to talk to!



Recommended Posts

I stay hungry all of the time but I don't eat much either. It is still very hard for me to get 800

calories in a day. I keep premium Protein Drinks in my fridge. They really fill me up and it keeps

me from eating things I shouldn't. The sleeve is just a tool to help you control your eating. Try

to stick to the high Protein diet and don't give in to your hunger. If you eat protein and drink

the shakes you will do better. I agree with everyone else, stay away from carbs as much as you can.

Don't give up, you don't want all that you went through to be for nothing. Good luck to you.

protein drinks!I really think I should start drinking them much more!I do know its just a tool :(I do try my best not to eat when i get hungry and I start cutting carbs and eat more protein yesterday and I did passed the day with good calories number!Thsnk you a lot ♡and good luck to you too ♡♡

Read and re-read the post from @@JamieLogical over and over. She's got it right on. My doc told me that after bariatric surgery hunger is usually thirst in disguise. Take a daily PPI pill like Protonix, Nexium or Prilosec, and make sure you get 64+ ounces of Fluid in you every - single - day! Good luck!

cuz i eat lots of bread and i think it make me hungry even more!!!

and I will talk to my dr about ppi

No more bread! Starches and sweets will just make you hungrier. Carbs crave carbs, and sweets crave sweets. (Yes, I know they're the same thing, but I'm making a point. :rolleyes: ) And PPIs usually contains the drug Omeprazole. they're not cheap, but they can be found in any drug or grocery store in the US.

The consensus of most posts are that eating Protein first, then some green veggies, and staying away from starches, is the hiway to success. After all, the essence of extreme weight loss for VSG is to create a small stomach and then go on an uber Atkins diet - high Protein and low carbs.

But, its also ez to negate the situation if you: A) Eat continuously; B) Eat the wrong things.

So, getting sleeve is a little like using the baby-bumpers at the bowling alley. Its a guard rail intended to facilitate extreme weight loss for the first 12-18 months. You can't eat much, so eating the right things is what makes the weight drop.

You are at the right place to get support from all of us who are on this same journey. I am only one week post-op and couldn't be more energized and optimistic.

Get your mind right, and you will be successful.

So glad to hear you are doing well! Sounds like you've made a big improvement in your eating and it is helping you get back on track. Putting Protein first really does help keep you full and energized. And like you said, if you go out or have something not-so-great for you one day, there's no reason you can't get right back on track the next day or even just the next meal!

      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. 🤞
