Hi guys,

I had my gastric sleeve surgery in December 2015. I have lost 116 pounds, however I have about 30-40 more pounds to lose. The visceral fat around my belly is extremely annoying and hard to get rid of as as well. Someone suggested Nutrisystem to help shock my body and trigger weight loss. For my veteran weight loss surgery peoples, have any of you tried anything like Keto, nutrisystem, weight watchers after your surgery?

Nutrisystem might cost as much as some lypo or fat freezing procedure, I'd double check! I looked into herbal magic one time, and it worked out to be 110$/pound!!! So just weigh your options ! Good luck ! And congratulations on the weight Loss!!!!

I'm not a vet, but I would say, save your money. Review your current diet and see whether you need to omit/add something. Possible add calories for a jump start (depending how low you are). You've lost a great amount, congrats! Just remember it's not a race, enjoy your loss and the rest will follow.

All bodies react differently but Keto works for me not only physically but mentally, I don't feel lethargic like I once did. Do a little research and add yourself to several Keto Facebook Recipe Groups so that once you Break the addiction to Carbs you will have meals that you enjoy. I would take measurements and weigh and then commit to trying it for 90 days. You have nothing to lose but Weight. Good Luck

I try to think of "diet programs" as the old way of my life that did NOT help me.
Just a long time of Protein and Water and walking and keeping on.
No special diet but extra extra protein. And few carbs. Long term stuff. Not a daily diet deal
Best of luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
