Does it ever feel normal again.



Recommended Posts

Yes.. sometimes you have to go back a stage or modify what you're eating... maybe introducing a good you're bdy I'd personally not ready for ??

For instance. Many drink some Decaf coffee early on... I'm three weeks out and it makes me feel sick! So maybe latter....everyone heals different of course but I've commonly read...around six months in, most people seem to be able to eat anything

Just stay strong! Eventually it will all calm down and you'll get used to your new stomach. Some days are better then others but it is all worth it once you learn how your stomach works again!

Keep up the great work and stay strong!

Yup. It all goes back to normal for most folks.

No pain, just feelings of fullness after a cup or so of food. And you will likely be able to eat anything - candy, Cookies, cake, fast food, breads, fried stuff... all with no ill effects.

Some folks do get lucky and still have a negative reaction to eating the bad stuff, but that doesn't seem to be something you can count on happening for sure.

That's why it is sooooo important to get your new healthy eating habits established and rock solid before the first year is out, because chances are very high that you will have no issues eating anything after that. The only thing that will save you and make sure you have continued long-term success is relearning how to eat and what to eat now.

Thank you everyone for the te assurance. I' think my struggle had been kind of well a struggle with dealing with if I want to have more. Or enough to feel full bc the uncomfortableness. But you are right establishing good eating habits should be something I focus on. I'm excited about that.

      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.
