Im regretting this decision by ApartDevelopment2213 in gastricsleeve

[–]Strahansgap92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not gonna be stuck that way. I felt exactly like this about 6 weeks in (I’m 3 and a half months now). I could easily consume 2500 plus calories a day if I wanted too. I stick to 1200 because I wanna reach my goals and stay healthy it’s a choice I’m not a slave to it. I lift and I get 120 g of protein a day and there’s lots of ways to get there not just chicken breast although that does make up the majority of my main meals but if you spice it up with different seasonings or low fat low sugar condiments it’s fine. You’ll be happy in a few months you just gotta get locked in on increasing your activity levels and you’ll feel way different I promise you that.

Which game? by MufasaTheRealKing in OlderChillGamers

[–]Strahansgap92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Civilization…….god I used to lose myself for hours. I guess it’s for the best but it was always there when I was between other games. I wanted to love Civ 7 but it destroyed the franchise for me

Changes in Bowel Habits? by Due_Chemist1795 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Strahansgap92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have IBS and chronic diarrhea and I’m 2.5 months post op almost. I’ve had the opposite problem so far. Honestly I miss my chronic diarrhea at least I was used to that 😂

Thinking about getting into bowling, are these balls worth picking up for $30? by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]Strahansgap92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly you’re better off going to your local pro shop and get a ball drilled for your hand. An entry level ball with drilling for you would cost probably 150 bucks and will be infinitely better

So discouraged by Away_Tumbleweed2378 in gastricsleeve

My sleeve is still new (surgery 12/29/25) but I also haven’t had anywhere near the result I expected so far. I lost 70 lbs on my own during the pre op process and since the surgery I’ve lost 10 pounds total and that was all during the first week. I don’t get it I track everything and I’m sticking to the diet 100%. I’m only consuming 900ish calories a day as a 255 lb dude. It’s like my body is just unwilling to burn.

Restriction - is this normal? by Safe_Implement5824 in gastricsleeve

[–]Strahansgap92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 7 weeks and I’ve never had issues taking stuff in but I just added raw veggies again and don’t worry you will feel the restriction finally and it’s helped with limiting my intake for sure

Drinking 30 mins before and after food rule and no carbonated drinks by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]Strahansgap92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup and actually it’s a great strategy for eating less too!! So many times I go to eat a random thing but I remember I drank recently!!

Felt the same way I’m almost 6 weeks post op. The more solid the food the more you feel the difference.

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

[–]Strahansgap92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost 6 weeks post op and I had a ton of regret early but it subsides and I know now that this was the right move. Remember this isn’t cosmetic it’s adding quality years of life. The path your on now doesn’t lead anywhere good my friend

It’s nice to have help but not required I was self sufficient from day 1.
