You must be white lol
I have to shave EVERY SINGLE DAY if I want to be smooth. By the end of the day my legs have a good 1/6 inch of stubble!

sherriehoffer got a reaction from skye in Im Not Ashamed But Need Help Coping With Questions I Dont Want To Answer...I didn't mind telling anyone, friends family coworkers total stranger. I am proud of my decision and that is all that matters. We are doing this to be healthy so we can have a longer life span with our families. If someone in negative to you it's just because they are jealous. Stand up tall and be proud that you made the right decision for you. I'm proud of each and everyone of us. SLEEVED 7/16/12 DOWN 23 LBS . That counts the two week pre open liquid diet.

sherriehoffer reacted to clk in Not Able To Eat As Much In The Past Few Days.Yes, it's fairly normal. Don't backtrack. You have to learn how to eat with your new super restricted stomach. Make up the difference in your diet by sipping Protein shakes when you aren't eating.
I did not want to eat again until close to one year out. Now I can actually enjoy eating but it's nothing like it used to be. It's work to get your food in but it's necessary to keep trying.
At this point, your best bet is to take one or two bites, let them rest and go back for more if you can fit it. Learning to eat at a slower pace is hard.
Signs of being full vary but for me a runny nose still happens if I take a bite or two too many. So do hiccups. Once you learn your body's signs for being full, you'll be able to eat without discomfort, slimes or having to toss up those last bites.
Good luck. We all go through this!
