I am now 12 weeks out as of tomorrow as are you ....I'm down 50 since operation but find that I have slight to moderate indigestion/ uncomfortable feeling after I eat almost anything. So now I find myself skipping meals rather than get the uncomfortable feeling......anyone else have such problems?

If I eat too quickly or take too large of a bite of food it is uncomfortable. Also certain food seem to bother me like the ribs of leaf lettuce or a small piece of toasted wheat bagel that I tried last week. Couldn't eat tuna for the first many weeks either but now not a problem. Soft foods are still tolerated the most easily. People heal at different rates I guess.

I am also 12 weeks out and down 40 lbs.

Yes definitely, just did that today, skipped lunch. Congratulations, 12 wks out and am down 45 pounds, still can't eat red meat of any kind unless it is ground up and in Soup. I do better with soft and liquid still.

Me too, I always eat too fast and it hurts or it comes back up. I can't eat tuna or red meat of any kind, its too rich. I can't drink carbonated drinks at all, still a lot of gas and upset stomach.

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely still eat too fast and I bet that is a big part of my indigestion. Trouble is I was a fast and big eater all my life and its been a tough habit to break. I take nexium now morning and evening and it seems to be helping. I also bought a Digestive aid in the Vitamin Shop. But its disappointing to to have to eat so little and then feel uncomfortable. The 50 lb weight loss in 3 months has helped ease that pain.

I'm 3 months out and still on mostly soft foods. Sleeved on May 25th. Major Constipation issues. I even got a fisher because of it. Now taking care of that too. Eating is really hit or miss. If it's a miss, I'm in pain for a few hours. If it's s hit, it's usually fish or Soup, or something soft. No lagunes or cooked broccoli or uncooked carrots

      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. 🤞
