Advice needed please! (Give me hope? Please?)



Recommended Posts

Hey, I had my surgery on the 26th of may, I was 260 pounds, as of today just a little over the 5 month mark I weigh 169. Almost 100 pounds in 5 months (wth?)

My appetite just has not returned, I have many days.. like today, where I am literally forcing myself to eat something to the point it makes me feel sick. I find drinking 2 litres a day of Water a constant, daily struggle (I manage about 1ltr plus Water from food??)

I just want to know, does it get better? Will my appetite return? Will I be able to eat more than 3 tablespoons of food eventually??

I never thought I'd say this but I'm concerned, will the weight loss slow down? I'm still losing 2-3 pounds per week at the moment with no signs of that changing and I'm scared that if I can't start eating more I'm going to get ill?? Just a little Enlightenment from some veterans and long-term sleevers would be amazing.

You need to discuss your problem with your surgeon or GP. Please don't put it off.

Yes, please call your surgeon and PCP.

I can't remember if you had gastric sleeve or bypass done.

Could be a stricture, but you need to see your doctor.

My appetite came back in months 6-7, and I could eat more. However I did not lose as much weight as you have.

Good luck, please pick up the phone, and let us know how you went @@jessjames

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
