LOL...Yes!

Don’t worry about the weight, it’ll happen. And the slow eating will be second nature after a while. The fluids thing is very important - sounds like you are off to a fantastic start!

Sounds great! How long ago was your surgery?

Before I support or condemn, I must know one thing: What genre of TV do you binge?

If they did a urinary catheter during your surgery, the biggest risk factor is infection. Damage to the structures during catheterization is very rare; possible, but rare. What you're describing sounds like 2 things/2 different symptoms: Urinary urgency and Urinary retention (the not feeling like you're emptying, then having to "go" more). You should see a doctor for both. Get checked for a urinary tract infection. Both can be symptoms of a urinary tract infection (among other things). My experience: They did not insert a urinary catheter for my surgery (I know, I asked). But, within about a month after surgery, my urinary issues were better. Before surgery, I dribbled and would easily wet myself if I coughed, sneezed, or laughed too hard. No amount of Kegels seemed to help. After surgery, I no longer dribbled and I these days it's pretty rare for me to have issues with coughing/sneezing/laughing.

It’s the best isn’t it. Did you keep looking at the size tag cause you just couldn’t believe it? I put on my ballet costume from when I was 12 & it ft. So freaky. Blew my mind cause I wasn’t an overweight child. Congratulations. You’re looking fabulous. And I think it’s time we reclaimed our bat wings. 😁

Wow that’s amazing ! I don’t remember the last time I was a size 6 . That’s definitely a goal for me.

I hit 50# weight loss ( pre-op and post-op). I am getting closer to Wonderland! Gastric Sleeve is making the difference and making this seem doable and I feel in control for once. HW 264 ( 10/30/20) SW 235 ( 2/24/21) CW 214 ( 3/27/21) GW 130 ( TBD)

OH! Thank you for sharing this! I will definitely try it. Sounds great and a little easier to go down. I feel like I've tried a MILLION types of protein.

The Last Supper. LOL. I went crazy with food funerals. And it was silly, becaue there isn't anything I haven't eaten again after surgery....just in small sensible amounts. If you need food funerals....go ahead and have them. But honestly, you eventually can eat about anything if you watch your calories and balance your day.
