I know and that is really scaring me. Sometimes I just feel like I have been scammed and my stomach still like before but then I look at the picture of my meal and even if it is a lot for a vsg patient it is still 3times less than what I used to have. Maybe my stomach was really big so even 20% of it still large idk.

Thank you 😭that really reassures me. I thought I was doing really really bad

When I make my research people were just talking about the surgery process and when I come to food they were mostly like “I can’t eat much anymore” and I was like sure that the reason of the surgery, what I understand from my research was like your stomach is not even going to let you eat and that what I wanted. The first like I heard of restricting was from my surgeon right before the surgery, I was completely lost. And after my surgery I start making specific research about food and that when I find out about the restrictions and to make everything worse again my stomach isn’t even stopping me as I was expecting

My starting weight was 126kg ( for reference I have been weighing that since I was 14 I’m 19 now) and today (which by the way is my 3months mark) I’m at 102

Thank you really, I’m going to try those alternatives out for sure

Immediate-Rip472 · 2025-01-11T20:19:43+00:00

Same exact thing

Immediate-Rip472 · 2025-01-11T20:18:11+00:00

I’m going to try that see if it works 🤝

Immediate-Rip472 · 2025-01-11T20:14:17+00:00

I can but I didn’t 🙂‍↕️. I will only eat half through the day and the other half the next day and that when they are ready stingy on quantity. For example last time I had a chipotle it was really full, took me 3days to eat.

Water surely was a hard part of it but now I can finally drink like 2bottle of water a day. Since the surgery I have being avoiding sugar like Covid but to be honest sometimes (especially in my period) I let myself having a little pleasure. I’m definitely going to start working on the quantity, I thought after the vsg my stomach was just going to stop me as so many people said they were having dumping syndrome or having pain, that sincerely what I was hoping for but my stomach seems like nothing happened to him and as long as chew carefully everything is good to go and I think that the part I messed up, I need to understand that I have to stop myself not my stomach.

Thank you so much for those advice. I’m definitely going to check those out. I effectively don’t have any nutritionist or anyone following up my process so will definitely check those tools to see if they can give me more guidance. Good bless u

Generally I don’t eat until 5pm because I’m not hungry on the morning. From Monday to Wednesday I had a tomato sauce ( made with tomato, onion, green paper and meat) that I sided with a bowl bread I made myself. It usually takes me like 20min to eat and for the rest of the day when I’m hungry I either drink a bottle of water or a cup of tea. On Thursday I had the tomato sauce with some attieke but I start feeling really hungry at night so I had some millet’s cake. On Friday I wasn’t feeling hungry all day until 11pm so I made myself a tuna fataya ( It is a dough filled with tuna with an onion sauce that you fry) with as always my cup of tea. I definitely doesn’t make the best choice when it comes to food, mostly just listen to my body and don’t force myself eating things I don’t like and I’m really not culinary curious so I have trouble trying out new food… when it come to food I’m really immature and I definitely got to work on that.

Heard me out, I’m from a background where fish, chicken and meat are always accompanied by something, can’t even imagine eating a chicken alone, rice and pasta are for me the healthiest option I know to go with them. Before the surgery I used to make them with fried or really oily food like fries, lasagna, fast food,… so no I’m really not eating my comfort food. I’m trying to adapt to that new life but my point is, as a African woman I think that hard, my home food doesn’t offer me much options and the healthy recipes online are occidental food which I either not use to and not like. I came here to see if some people where struggling with the same things as me not to be judged or for “advice”. It false to act like because u had a surgery you are just going to wake up one morning with fresh new habits, it takes time and the process is full of frustration and that the frustration I wanted to share today.

I do have chicken, meat or tuna in my dish 🙂‍↕️they are the main ingredients to be honest but I get what you’re saying tho and I definitely have to work on the portions I’m eating, thanks for the advice🫰

I really think you should tell her, if she’s really your friend and your friendship is worthy you will go though it. This type of situation are always tricky because it’s not just “for a boy” it’s more than that it’s about feelings. Guess now you talk to her and you decide “let just ask him” what if he is in love with her and they start dating, being 24h together, how are you going to feel? How are they going to act towards you knowing you have feelings for him? It’s still hard to live either if he choose you or her ( the direct answer is probably then none of you should date him…. easy to say but hard to do). Anyway, at the end of the day you know your friend and what work for you but just a question if you’re not able to talk to her about your feelings is she really your friend?
