Appetite suppressors



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I recently had the gastric sleeve surgery. It is going well so far.

I just have a few questions

What stage can i start taking capsules?

Does anyone use appetite suppressors?

Ask your surgeon's team about when they want you to switch to capsules rather than liquids or chewables.

And staying as low carb (veggies) as possible along with lean dense Protein is my appetite suppressant. The more carbs I have, the hungrier I get.

I take some pre-workout supplements now that are appetite suppressants. But I take them more for the energy boost (although they do also help with appetite). One is RedCon1 Double Tap which is a stimulant and one is Redcon1 Silencer (non-stim). I wouldn't take them until you are in a serious workout phase and at least 6 months post-op. And, of course, check with your doc. I like Silencer a lot.

I am hoping I don't need them! Of course, I am not allowed to take them anyway (other medical conditions)... but I am hoping surgery, diet control, and exercise are all I need.

I wonder if years down the road when the ghrelin starts to come back (sleeve patients) if we'll need appetite suppressants to reduce the hunger feelings again.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
