two and half years out

[dannilynn1 83]

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?

Start with Water to wake up your system. Then a Protein Shake or something easy on your system such as scrambled eggs, yogurt, etc.

Lap-banded and love it!

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!
