Eating like normal....?



Recommended Posts

I am about 7 weeks post op and I am eating like I used to, is this normal at this stage? I have not had a fill yet, am down about 10kgs, but starting to resume old habits, please help me, I have been told that at this early stage it is easy to stretch the upper pouch, I am worries I may do this? I have not experienced what you guys call a PB either and it seems I can eat and not feel over full? Am I strange? Thanks

You need a fill.... maybe two.. who knows.. you will know restriction when you feel it..

I have a fill of 1.1cc and do not feel restriction to the point of it helping me.

I am going soon for fill number two, I really hope to get 2.5 cc or more..

Sorry i cant lend more advice.

I am 6 days post op and can eat average size meals but choose not to. I don't have the interest in food as I did before. I think the pain I still have keeps me away from food. I'm sure I'll need a fill before to long to keep this type of progress to continue?

I feel the same way as you and I am going for a fill today. I ate quite a bit more than usual over the Memorial Day holiday. I'll let you know if it changes things.

Until you get your 1st or even 2nd fill, you will feel like you haven't had surgery. You are wide open right now! As you get fills, you will start to feel fuller faster. It is normal to feel the way you do right now.

I am also 6 weeks post op and had a fill last Tues. Boy I feel restriction now! I can't eat much and I'm really having problems with meat even hamburger. But the scale is down another 5 lbs.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
