two and half years out



Recommended Posts

Hello Bariatric friends,

I had my surgery on July 2 2014. I had gastric sleeve. I had lost a total of 110lbs and got to 140lbs. I have gained some weight back but am working on getting that back off. I only have about 15 -20 lbs to go to get back down to 135-140.

Anyways, for my question, has anyone experienced being very hungry (you have not eaten yet) but when it comes down to eating, you are not able to eat. Its like your body wont let you. That has been happening a lot lately. It could be my first meal of the day(breakfast). I would take a bite and then I am full after that one bite. It is really frustrating when that happens because I literally have to force myself to eat something.

Any advise?

I have heard of this on this, Several times, on BP. And if I remember correctly, it was around the 2 year mark. Personally, I have not experienced it. Maybe get hold of your nutrionist from your bariatric team for suggestions. I specifically remember at least one person coming back and mentioning the issue had resolved, but can't recall how.

On another note, it's great you have maintained your weight, relatively well. I never got down to my goal weight and have regained about 11 pounds! It's a real struggle to get it off.

Hi Danni,

I am dealing with that now. I just posted this topic looking for feed back as well. I was sleeved almost 4years ago & I gained about 15lbs back. I am freaking out right now. I want it gone.

I have not experienced what you are asking though. I just want to get this weight that I gained back off.

Starting the cabbage diet!

      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. 🤞
