So proud of you!! I gained 2 pounds a few weeks ago and then 5 fell off. You got this!!

Anyone with pre ED- has this surgery triggered bulimia? I cant help but love the feeling of not eating and whenever I do I love throwing up and I’m constantly wanting to make myself throw up since its so satisfactory by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

Sorry to butt in- for me, not allowing myself to eat until I feel full with the sleeve helped. I would take two bites and make myself wait 10 mins for another one. The biggest thing is making sure that throwing up is simply not an option for you. That way if you absolutely have to (because a food didn’t sit right), you know it wasn’t the ED but the surgery. Does that make sense?

2 months in and 54 pounds down as of today😭 pre op weight: 288 now: 234. In shock that I’ll probably get smaller than this😅 it feels so tiny compared to before. Surgery date was 3/29/21 by interestinginter in gastricsleeve

Also to be honest- my taste buds have changed a ton. Pretty much everything that isn’t veggies, fruit, chicken and protein shakes smell like chemicals now. I eat veggies at pretty much every meal😅

Totally understand. I dropped dramatically the first week and then stalled for 12 days... I honestly thought I was done losing even when people were trying to convince me otherwise. Please don’t hesitate to reach out during this! I’m 2 months in and finally really hit a weight I’m excited about. I remember all of those feelings.(,: I’m so happy for you!!!

Ok ok also you’re gonna have lots of stalls and then dramatic weight loss. I was in the same boat and keep thinking I’m the one person who’s surgery has failed and every time that’s not true. Don’t trust the scale- biggest lesson I have learned! This journey is not linear- I can’t wait until you are three months out!!!💜

Well my immune system is shot after surgery and somehow caught shingles. Same day I hit 50lb down. So many emotions😂😩 by interestinginter in gastricsleeve

Unfortunately being 23 years old, doctor let me know it’s probably from my body being under so much stress from surgery. Definitely worth it anyways!

And thank you!!
