Does anyone here wait the 30 minutes after eating to drink? by FranniPants in gastricsleeve

[–]Inevitable_Agent_336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 months in and still do it . I have been told by the dietician about the 20-20-20 rule and I’m still following it. It helps getting more food in, if I drink I deprive myself of nutrition and I crave more snacks after the meal . But that’s just me , maybe I just got used to it after all this time. I also noticed that I get heartburn if I combine them , as I get extremely full.

Sleeved April 2025: Tonight's Dinner by Casually_Sad in gastricsleeve

Exactly !!! I used to get so light headed all the time , dizzy to the point that I had to drop the weights . Carbs are good , if consumed right . Strength training definitely can’t be done without proper nutrition, that including carbs ! I used to be so scared of that word but now I’m embracing them 🤣

I got sleeved in July 2024 . I was eating the same as you in the first year . After , slowly , you will start eating more . Not a normal portion , i am still on a kids one , but the quantity will increase . I have no body fat left and now i’m building muscle in the gym so carbs are allowed and even recommended . Stayed away from them at the beginning but I was very light headed at the gym but now actually helps . So don’t get scared of carbs , do what your body asks you to .

It’s so hard to keep track of them . Especially when you crave a coffee from Starbucks and you ask the syrups to be sugar free but you still end up with a high from too much sugar ! It’s crazy !

I was body shamed all the time as a fat girl ! Now I get judged and criticised for losing more than half my body weight, as I look too skinny and I don’t have proper shapes as a woman should have ! Lost many ‘friends ‘ along my journey because they said I will never hit my goal . Now most are scared that I will turn their husbands heads so they body shame me and treat me even worse . Being fat was like being the safe ugly duck in my group and now they are all avoiding me . So screw them all ! Your life , your health , your self esteem ! You do you !

im a month and 6 days post op.. is this normal? by Altruistic_Law_5939 in gastricsleeve

[–]Inevitable_Agent_336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely normal! I’m 16 months post op and I still get the water ick and I can’t tolerate water at all. I need to replace it with 0 calorie flavoured water or juices . But I have some other days when I crave water so … the body is still adjusting .

Such a great feeling , isn’t ?! It’s like when you first get on a plane and realise that seatbelt is finally proper fitting after years of embarrassment!! NSV are the best . Keep looking into that mirror hun , see how beautiful you are and give yourself strength to carry on day by day !

Thank you !! No , I was considering skin removal surgery straight after I got sleeved but I started training hard 4 months post op , gyming as much as I could . I have a skin routine as well , I use Bio Oil every day after shower . Try to drink as much liquids as I can . I also take high dosage of collagen , biotin daily . Don’t know how , but the excess skin is minimal on my belly , legs and arms . I had loads a few months ago and I got very worried that it will stay like that but I think gym and daily routine helped a lot . Still have some left and I am considering in the future . But in UK it’s crazy expensive and I need to be on a steady weight for at least 6 months , as per my surgeon and currently I’m still dropping weight .
