lbutton6172 3 Posted October 27, 2017 I am starting to stress bad. I had my surgery Aug 29th 2017 everything seemed to be going great so far but I feel like I'm getting cravings back and I feel like anything I eat even if it's just a protien shake that it's going to make me gain weight and all the weight i Lost is goin to come back. I'm at a stall and I fluctuate between 237 and 240 and I'm starting to lose hope and get depressed. I don't eat junk or barely any carbs if i do it's maybe for lunch while I'm at work. I take diet meds and I still feel hungry. I'm full for a little while and then my stomach feels empty and makes these crazy noises. I am terrified I am going to stretch my stomach... if i go back to liquids will my stomach shrink back? Idk what to do. I've been there so much in my life since this surgery and I feel like if this one thing I've worked so hard for messes up I'm ruined...Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danna Marie 2 Posted November 5, 2017 Hi. I haven’t had the surgery yet but when I worked for Jenny Craig (crazy I know) the one thing they taught their clients was when you start to stall that’s the time to increase your exercise a little more and you will start losing it again. I’ve also been told that when you think your hungry wait and if your truly hungry you will feel a sensation in your throat. I don’t know if any of this is helpful but any response is better than nothing, or so I’ve been told. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berry78 4,261 Posted November 5, 2017 Fear of eating and regain is super common. I think most of us have felt it at least a little, and many of us feel it a LOT. But, if you don't eat, your body is going to take what it can from your muscles, organs, and bones. Meeting our nutrition goals is the only way to keep the machine running. 64+oz fluids 60+ grams Protein vitamins/minerals These are your minimum requirements, forever. Do you have a nutritionist you can talk to? He/she can help you make a plan for how to reach all your goals. 1 Ldyvenus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaDianne 10 Posted December 8, 2017 I'm a 63 yr old granny..had the sleeve done almost 4 yrs ago...I'm back to the wright I was the day of surgery. I never really lost that much ..maybe 55 pounds..but I sure can feel it now..I know now..you could remove my stomach...still find a way to eat...so..for me..I'm taking on a different mind set...not so much to lose..but to find a healthy balance..that has been the hardest...My son left for college 17 yrs ago...most of my eating was over the sink..in a chair...with the TV..helping my grandkids clean up they're plates...I've starting to go to TOPs..just to be with others ..a time to talk...its not food...its my mind that has left me in this obese world...good luck with all the sleeves..but ..have your head a d brain ready tooSent from my VK815 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamingsmall 1,125 Posted December 10, 2017 I'm abit confused you had your sleeve not long ago and are on diet meds. Is this prescribed by your surgeon and doctor ?Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamingsmall 1,125 Posted December 10, 2017 You don't need to go back to liquids. That's drastic and many trigger you to eat other things. Stalls are normal also even when on track Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
