  I’ve been contemplating the surgery for years. I finally went through with it on Sept 14,2020. Five days postop. I think I maybe dehydrated. I find it so hard to drink more than several ounces in a day of any liquid. I had sipped some egg drop broth yesterday to try to force in protein, and I could’ve sworn that I had exploded my pouch. So painful. Since my vital signs are fine I’m sure everything is ok. Lol

    I don't "feel" skinny/thin either but I know I am just by looking in a full length mirror! I remember one time I was in TJMAXX and passed a mirror and saw myself from the side. I had to stop and take another look because I couldn't believe that was me. Actually, I never felt "morbidly obese" either. I just knew I was by looking at the size of my clothing and the number on the scale!

    Same here.... I remember the first time i caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror in a mall.... i had to back up and i started crying ... I could not believe it was me. that was way back in 2012ish.... when i was 143#..... now at 120# even though the pants size says 0-2..I still don't see it. I know i have body dysmorphia

  I hate the feeling of coming back from vacation and having the impression of never having been on holiday after all after just three days of work or so.
  Interestingly enough I started losing a bit weight again? Or maybe it'll takes more time than I thought to gain the weight back after this gastrointestinal infection attack two to three weeks ago.
