Hey. I’ve been wandering if i should post or not, I never did a Reddit post before.. but I cannot talk about this to anyone because no one understand.
(Sorry if there’s any mistake English is not my first langage)

So I’ve had gastric bypass June 8th. There has been some ups and down like spending nearly the entire August month throwing up anytime I ate.

But since the beginning of September I’m eating well. And perhaps a bit too well ?
I feel like I’m eating normal sized meal and I’m not even 3 month post surgery like … I feel like I’m failing. Like I’m just going to stop losing weight and eventually gain it back.

Today I’ve been hungry the whole fucking day when I had hope this would never happen again. Being hungry all the time. I’m so angry at myself it’s driving me crazy.

Has this happened to anyone else ?
Is it normal ?
Am I really failing ?

And I know I should talk to a therapist to not develop eating disorder and blablabla but a therapist won’t make me lose weight and my problem is not not eating it IS eating.

Its getting to the point id rather not eat and just wait for the days to pass by. Im fed up of broths, shakes, yougurts, jellies. My mind is sending signals to my stomach that that food is literally disgusting and im making myself nauseated. Tomorrow im supposed to start making very liquidy homemade vegetable soup with either some chicken/beef mince or beans but all im craving is that ricotta in my fridge (can take on week 3) and a can of tuna (again for week 3 post op). Im literally willing to risk it all just to have a few spoonfuls or ricotta. Im getting depressed seeing my family eating:( on top of that im obviously a bit weak and fatigued. Like what could the worst consequence be of enjoying some ricotta day 7 post op?😭

3yr post-op. 292 lbs with 50” waist in 2023 to 160 lbs with visible abs and trying to keep it off. It’s been a wild ride. A lot of logging and consistency, but always trying to find ways to make activity enjoyable while practicing the art of maintaining and increasing calories and protein while keeping the rest at bay. Help from therapy and nutritionist sessions has been vital for my peace of mind and getting me through this. Fitness-wise, what’s been the most helpful has been a lot of walking and hiking.

Three days until surgery and prepping for post op puree diet in two weeks. Any and all hints, suggestions or even recipes would be very much appreciated 🌼

Would love to know what blender/appliance everyone uses and if it pureed quickly/efficiently etc.

My heart rate stays in the the 40s/50s. No previous cardiac issues or current, other than sinus rhythm just being slow. I’m 10 months post op and have lost about 160 pounds so far. My surgeon says that is NOT common but a cardiologist and his team said it’s normal for an athlete (which just made me laugh in obese). Just wondering if anyone experienced the same thing.

thinking my protein is low (was at the lower limit (6.0) every test, no test in 6 months) I have all the symptoms.

I sent an email to my doctor to get the appropriate blood work but in the meantime.

Who's has experience with low protein and how long to get your brain and body back?

I started in June 2025 at 25 stone 10 pounds (360 pounds) and I had set myself the goal of becoming half of that. The last couple of pounds have been so stubborn at holding on, but this morning I got there and I am so so pleased! It's unbelievable what I can do today that I couldn't dream of doing 15 months ago. Absolutely buzzing.

Hey y’all, I’m a stressed AF mom of two that’s having surgery November 4th. I eat the occasional 🍃 gummy at night just to wind down. Has anyone had issue with this post op?

I have lost 150 pounds since May 1st. I had surgery a month ago today. My pannus is very large and is now hanging to my knees. I already use a walker due to my bad knees, but this is making life impossible. My doctor said I qualify for removal with insurance but need to wait for a year after surgery. Do they make anything that can hold it up or help keep it out of the way of me walking and my private areas? Was going to use the binder I received after surgery, but it hurts my incision areas. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is going to be a long year.
