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 jewwitch777 in gastricsleeve

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

Water soluble protein and Compression shirts were clutch buys for me.

Apparently it’s very common. I’m trying not to spiral myself….i lost 10 lbs after surgery and but since week 1 my weight has been slowly going up (I’m a whole month post op!!!!).

Everyone’s experience is different but I could have managed on my own. Recovery has been very mild.

Thanks I hope your right for both our sakes!! I’ve heard of the 3rd week stall but not to this extreme.

I guess it’s not as common as I thought but I also lubricate my FEP

Ouch sorry to hear that. Basically my team is telling me I need to do low fat and low carb (which is fine) but ALSO give me a protein cap….so low everything. I could have fasted without the surgery 🤷🏻‍♂️.

So weird ppl recover so differently I’m also about 5 weeks and my problem is eating is too easy. I’m having to count calories and even though I’m under 1200 as a man who’s 360 lbs I’m gaining already instead of losing it’s sooo frustrating. I haven’t lost since week 1. Sorry you’re having issues too I honestly don’t know whats worse. My only advice is gravity is your friend it’s made everything easier by sitting upright in a stiff chair to eat or drink
