Hi,

I have been having a problem trying to get adjusted to a good fill. I am tight but able to eat a cup of food generally. As long as I chew enough and don't eat rice or Pasta. The problem is I get hungry very often so eat too much throughout the day. Just not at one sitting. I've lost about 45lbs since May 19th. But gained 1 lb over the last month.

Need advice.

Elaine

Are you getting tummy rumbling hungry or is it head hunger (cravings) or dehydration (empty stomach feeling)?

Are you eating solid food like lean Protein and fresh veggies?

Are you drinking lots of Water?

Are you wating 30-60 minutes to drink after a meal?

I'm struggling to get back into the groove after the holidays. Also, I can eat more that one cup of food at a time. I got a fill yesterday so I'm hoping that the two days of mushies will get me back on track. I feel like my biggest problem is that I've gotten away from the three meals a day that helped me lose the first 60lbs and I'm not drinking enough Water throughout the day.

Why not revert back to the original diet that helped you lose the first 45lbs.? Start with some chicken/tuna salad with some melba rounds for lunch and some lean fishes and chicken for dinner. Keep the carbs down and drink the water. I'm a snacker by nature so it's been hard for me but I'm trying to snack on low fat cheddar and almonds until I can get it under control.

BTW...your weightloss is fantastic. I wish we didn't have this struggle. Good luck!

      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. 🤞
