I would not worry too much about the energy/tired thing this soon after surgery. Once you are eating real food again you will have more energy. As for the hunger, the first thing is to make sure you...

I didn't really go through this, so I cant say that I know how you feel. But one thing I have done as soon as I was able to eat again (after the liquid and soft stages) was to make sure I really love...

1. A support person (husband, best friend, whatever)
2. small firm pillow to hold against your tummy when you walk
3. slippers
4. chap stick
5. loose, comfy clothes for coming home in

I would...

For the first several months I ate most of my meals straight from a measuring cup! I never counted calories, so I didn't need to weigh anything. But I was concerned about overeating, so everything...

I am almost a year out, but I don't count calories. I will echo what the previous poster said- increase your water and protein. When I focus on those I always start losing again. Good luck and...

Shrimp was one of my favorite go-to foods in the soft food stage, and even once I could eat what ever I wanted. I probably ate my weight in shrimp those first 4-5 months. Enjoy! :)

About six months after my surgery I gave into my cravings for a pepsi. But it doesn't taste the same as it did before surgery. When I told my doc that I have a few sips she wasn't shocked, since many...

I don't count anything at all. I take my vitamins and eat the foods my dietician recommends. I eat until I am no longer hungry, and don't push it by trying to stuff more in. Pretty simple.

I would not worry about it, they did nothing for me either. And when you think about where the gas came from and where t is in your body after surgery, it makes perfect sense that Gas X wouldn't...

Hey everyone, I have a question for those of you who are further out.

Anyone have iron deficiency after 8- 9 months? I see a nutritionist, take a multi vitamin, vitamin D and B12. I eat a pretty...

I have thought about this a lot. My plan is to try and add liquid calories when I reach goal, since I cant eat much at once anymore. I already have added a lot of things back into my diet that I...

Well, my doc told me that she expected me to lose 75lbs in the first year. Well, I have hit that mark in exactly 7 months. Now I am still losing, but much slower. I have added some things back into...

Congrats!! You are doing great! I remember feeling lighter when I got under 200, even though I know it was just in my head, lol. :)

I love your attitude! I have had people act like my goal is too high, and I don't understand why. Like you said, some of us have been overweight our entire lives, and we need to be realistic. If you...

My NUT has me on a multivitamin, B complex, and D. And yes, for the rest of my life! But I feel sooo much better when I take them regularly!

I have not thrown up since surgery, so I don't know all the reasons it could be happening. But my best guess is that you are eating too much or too fast, maybe even both. All you can do is slow down...

It will get better. I know that doesn't help you much now, but believe it. I went through not wanting to eat too, and most things (even water!) tasted terrible. But it should slowly go away. Hang in...

I had a close friend admit to me that it made her uncomfortable when we eat together now. Something about how little I eat and the fact that I finish before her just bothers her. Luckily we are great...

Am I correct that 29kg is about 64 lbs? I see that you are upset because you have stalled far from your goal. But can you HONESTLY say that you are no better off after losing 29kg? May I suggest you...

I have felt like a slow loser too. But once in a while I look back, see where I have been, and realize that it does not matter how fast it comes off as long as it stays gone!

You are doing great,...

I know how you feel. I sometimes weigh myself 3 or 4 times in a row just because I can not believe the number I see. I also bug my husband about the scale needing new batteries, but each time he...

My doc didn't give me a goal, but said that she would expect me to lose 75lbs total, since that would be about 60% of my excess weight. But I have already lost 69lbs, and am not even 6 months out...

I am looking forward to the holidays! Fall and winter are my favorite times of year. I did not have this surgery so that I could spend the rest of my life afraid of food, and I will enjoy the...

Since surgery I get them if I eat too fast or too much. But I also get them a lot for no real reason.

You are doing great!! Keep it up!
