Topic: RE: Surgery problems?

I've done the whole logging thing. I look at the calories per serving of whatever I'm eating and log that.

I never get any cue that I'm full. And I can eat quite a bit if I want to. That's why I feel like the surgery isn't aiding me at all to lose weight. It's just like before I had the surgery... I'm trying to stick to 800 calories but not having much success over a long period of time.

I assume with most people the surgery plays a part in controlling how much you can eat making it easier to meet the calorie requirements needed to lose weight. I thought that was the whole point.

There is an article posted about it on the main obesity help page.

Topic: Going to obesity help conference alone?

I would like to go to the obesity help conference but if I am able to I would be going alone. I don't know what to expect or anything or if it would be too awkward going by myself?

Topic: RE: Surgery problems?

at 800 calories you should be losing weight. Are you logging your food and weighing/measuring portions?

I don't feel "full" the way I did pre-surgery. Many of us don't. Instead, I feel some discomfort in my chest - sort of like a pressure. Once I feel that, I know it's time to stop eating. Some people have even weirder "full" cues - like sneezing or a runny nose.

Topic: Surgery problems?

I had gastric sleeve surgery back in July and lost 30lbs during the post op recovery period but haven't lost anything since then. I've noticed there seems to be very little, if any, restriction to the amount I can eat. I'm trying to stick to the post op diet recommendations I was given of 800 calories or less but I screw up occasionally. And it seems the surgery isn't helping with the weight loss at all. What do I do? When I see the doctor I tell him what I'm doing but he seems like he doesn't believe me when I say I don't drink anything with calories in it and I'm trying my best to stay at 800 calories. Did they screw up my surgery? Why don't I ever feel full?
