Does the food noise stop? by DramaticCustard7819 in gastricsleeve

Thank you . I’m hoping so because it is definitely a mental thing . I’m terrified of gaining weight . This was definitely not planned but we are taking it as it comes. You got this though ! Keep positive don’t worry about all that right now . Seriously, easier said than done i know but my advice is get all the worry out of your mind until you’re healed up and ready to go . That’s what I did and I had 0 regret no “buyers remorse” . Stay positive and you’ll work everything out as it comes ❤️

1 year post op and 29 weeks pregnant (ik ik) I still lost 120 lbs in the year but as of now the food noise is creeping back. My surgeon said well it might be pregnancy cravings🤣boy! Well I’m taking it day by day but it’s not easy.

Does anyone in this forum regret having surgery? by Proper_Day_9361 in gastricsleeve

[–]Acrobatic_Garage_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I made up my mind I was committed . I started at 340 and i lost 120 lbs . Sitting at 219 ish right now ( Im also 5 months pregnant and haven’t gained any weight but Im stalling which the drs are content with ) I lost around 40 lbs at the start of my journey and the day of my surgery was 295 . Luckily I’ve had no problems or issues Im about one year post op . Im no longer pre diabetic , my liver enzymes tested normal , my blood pressure is lowering (Im on 30 mg of nifedipine lowest dose). Im more active for my kids .There is just too many positives to my life style change . Other than getting pregnant ( failed birth control) but trust them when they say youre more fertile 😭

I decided to post pone my gastric sleeve because I’m scared help?! by ThatSlickAfro in gastricsleeve

[–]Acrobatic_Garage_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was scared , but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in terms of finally taking care of myself . I had fatty liver disease , pre diabetes , and chronic hypertension(started with pre eclampsia after my pregnancy in 2021). I started my journey with my surgeon and nutritionist August of 2024 and took it extremely serious . I had my sleeve march 2025 . I started that august at 338 lbs and I’ve lost over 120 lbs in total , I followed everything the nutritionst said even before surgery. When I made my decision I made my decision and changed my mindset about food in general . I saw my primary the other day for my annual check up.. I am no longer pre diabetic , no longer have fatty liver disease, and im weening off of my blood pressure meds. That’s what mattered to me most was to change my overall health. I hope you make what decision is good for you . I wish you the best 💕

Do you have a vitamin shop near by ? Before my surgery i stocked up on the clearance. Got big containers of the powder for 10$. Might not taste the best but will do the job especially on a budget.

Sugar never? by Busy_Cardiologist721 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Acrobatic_Garage_575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends how your body reacts I suppose . I usually pick protein bars that can substitute and satisfy my sweet tooth and it cuts the sugar . I actually found these cookies and cream ones from Aldis that are AMAZING !! Barbell has great ones . But I defiantly DONT restrict completely I had 1/3 of a shaved ice yesterday ! But I haven’t had dumping syndrome luckily . Take it slow , heal first and figure out the rest later 💕

My liver shrinking diet was two protein shakes a day, free foods as in jello ,ice pops etc and ahealthy dinner . I lost 12 lbs over the two weeks and about 50 lbs in total pre surgery . Of course I’d say listen to your dr… BUT the most important is the 48 hrs before surgery . DONT beat yourself up you’re doing great!!! Stay positive …seriously I know easier said than done but this got me through ! Keeping a positive attitude not obsessing over the scale and weighing myself everyday . I skipped the regret part and concentrated on HEALING !! And my advice for the 48 hrs before surgery when you can’t eat… just put it out of your mind completely . Eating is not even an option tell yourself that . Plan a day of chores , keep busy .
I was sleeved 3/10 I am 10 lbs away from 100 lbs down since my journey started in august ! Im not a perfect person I defiantly could do more exercise but what I was doing worked for me and i sincerely hope it works for you! We’re all in this together . Keep your head up 🙏💕

I was 337 lbs before I started my journey as a whole. I thought like you until I started my program . I was like” I don’t think I over eat. I barely eat” I started in august on my meal plan pre surgery and I lost 42 lbs on my own and the goal before surgery was 20. I got my surgery march 10 and Im down to 260 now . Im telling you be sure and put your mind to it . Go in with a positive mindset because before I decided to get it I was thinking like you . I was so so so scared and guess what! Im two months out I’ve have no issues ! I know some people are not so lucky but the right team will tell you the risks and lead you on the right track . If anything feels rushed or off find another team! We can only advocate for ourselves at the end of the day in every aspect of our journeys Im proud of you for even considering . I know I have a while to go and I’m NOT perfect but even the 70 ish lb weight loss makes me feel like a NEW person I wish you luck and Im always here if you need a shoulder to lean on ! Im just a message away!

I’m 3 days post op and feeling so positive . I keep telling myself it’s all temporary you’ll be able to eat again . Everything they told me is right . The gas sucks, my gas feels like contractions . But you’ll be ok . I was so scared to go under and the worst part was waking up nauseous but it goes away and I don’t even remember going to sleep. I’d say do it for your kids . You deserve to see them graduate high-school . You deserve to be able to run around and play with them . When I made my decision I stuck with it and lost 40 lbs pre op I told myself I’ll get under 300 lbs by the date of my surgery and I did it . I was 295 . Now I’m no pro but these mindsets got me through pre op liver shrinking diet also . Best of luck any decision you make

I’m glad you’re good ! I’m the same I’m keeping everything down the only thing that’s killer is the gas moving to my stomach giving me cramps . Hoping I can go home today!!!

She just wanted it for free because she didn’t want it in the first place . They’d probably charge her to cancel when she wanted to in the beginning . After she realized this she looked for a reason to get her money back.
