Hello Everyone!
I am 6 months post op from Gastric Sleeve. I have been doing amazing until about 3-4 weeks ago, I am still doing well, but not as good as i could be. I am starting to crave sugar way more than I have been, and the cravings are intense. I allow caving and try to minimize it with little bites and very small portions and try to limit it to 1 time a couple times per week. However, it just seems to be intensifying.

My job is also very demanding and limits me to the amount of time i have about 75% of the day. Running a healthcare facility is amazing, but having a consistent schedule is something that never happens. Does anyone have any great, quick and easy meal prep recipes? Anyone tried a meal subscription service that follows the diet and tastes good?
 
How are you doing a year out? Great job at the six-month mark!! I had my sleeve on 1/27/25, so right after you. I have been catching myself getting into some old habits and I'm trying to regroup. I had to pay for my sleeve out of pocket (I was fat but not quite fat enough) and I'll be darned if I gain it back! My biggest struggle is diet soda, it is just my thing.
How has the last six months of the year been for you?
I did not know about this forum, I have my one year with my surgeon today and I was just looking some things up on google and came across it.
