Stomach, Endless Pit



Recommended Posts

I am 3 yrs out, RNY. I haven't ever had or have now any sense of restriction. I never get that full feeling. I mean, at dinner, I rarely eat all of it, something just says in my head, ok now, stop. I just don't know how it feels to be satiated. I admittedly have stuffed my face, and I feel full but I want to eat normally all the time. I feel like my stomach is an endless pit.

I eat small portions of the Wrong things. Graze. VERY BAD I know. I'm getting satisfaction from the sweets, etc but missing the proper satiety. Will I ever feel that? Dont be rude, but scold if you must. I need help.

Not usually. Maybe I do. I dont know. If I really look back, I might find that I eat slider type food. Bad. I'm reassessing my food right now while I'm stuck here at work. Pondering, analyzing, wondering.

Honestly. This is YOUR walk. You are having trouble, because you are unwilling to do the things you KNOW you must do in order to experience success.

You KNOW what you have to do. You MUST go back to your doctor and RD. Get a new plan. Follow the plan. The losses will be much slower. And you have to comply with it daily.

EVERY person I know who is long term successful in WLS still plans and logs their food, knows what macros it takes for them to lose and what macros it takes for them to maintain and knows which pattern of eating works to do both for them. They maintain a very tight window of maintenance.

You couldn't be more right. Thank you for your honesty.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
