I am now 3 months out and I am still trying to get that fine line down. I can eat something for dinner and I am fine with 4 oz. But the following day I try to eat the same thing and the same amount and get one of those tell-tale signs (pain, watery mouth or feeling like I am going to die). I have been told that you will learn how to work with you new (very angry) tummy. As long as you do not push beyond those feelings or never get there you should be fine.

Also weighing your food is very help and helps keep your food goals at bay. I weigh everything I eat. Sometime I can eat the 4 oz of food I weigh out and over times I only get in a couple of bite. Let your body lead the way.

WILL YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE 30 MIN BEFORE AND AFTER food AGAIN FOR ME PLEASE

It will flush your "pouch" and wash food through, resulting in empty calories and increased hunger. There is a video out there explaining this with applesauce and a funnel

What I have found especially after surgery that if you sneeze, nose starts to run or hiccup these are the signs that you are getting full. I am over 2.5 years post op and ny nose still starts to run when I get full. I have to make sure I eat something every 3 -5 hours bc im not hungry it is because I need to eat to fuel my body. I don't like food prior to surgery. There are days I crave certain foods and depending how I feel I can eat 4-6 oz of chili or less. Everyday is different.

The nurse told me, we need the food to sit in our stomachs as long as possible for proper absorbion of nutrients and to feel satisfied longer, the liquids will push the food on through....I try to stick to this, it's kind of hard though

It will take time to get to know your new body. As long as I/you listen to what your body is telling you, the better and easier it will be

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
