Being Umemployed After Sugery..?
I got fired from my job 10 days before my surgery. I think they fired me because they thought I would be out... Discrimination=lawyer. Currently fighting just to keep my unemployment. Either way, I am going bonkers in the house. Looking for a job, spending the summer with my son, and wishing I was out more. I want to be working !!!!

Soda
I went to a support group meeting and was told that it is very common for over 70% of people that go back to any kind of soda regain a good portion of the weight they lost. I was an coke/ soda drinker and I have chosen not to go te flat diet soda route. I want to keep my weight off. I was willing to give up soda and candy to be healthier the rest of my life !!!

1 Month/solid Foods
24 lbs is good for first month. When I moved to regular food I introduced 1 new food per meal to see how it went. I can eat just about anything I want that is low sugar, low fat. I stick to Protein, an occasionally have carbs in small amounts . Just as an FYI I am 7 weeks post op. I recently hit a stall in weight loss, just had my monthly so that may have added to it, expected it to happen, heard it does for everyone. I find I struggle with Water intake more now too

Please Tell Me.....
Your hormones are going to be released and it causes a roller coaster effect emotionally. We are often used to being down in ourselves. My confidence is building back up. I understand the "no where to run " feeling and always used food to cope. I try to stay busy. Best of luck !

Please Tell Me.....
I am 6 weeks post op and feel very good about what I can eat and the process. I have gotten dehydrated and I have had food stuck in my throat. It's all a learning process. Nobody said this would be easy , I'd it was we wouldn't be here in the first place. Be patient , I will all come together

Post Op Gas
Drinking how liquid helped me alot. I had horrible gas pains for almost 3 weeks. The hot liquid helped me as soon as I drank it. It wasn't a cure all, but between that and walking it sure helped

Tummy Issues
That is the "pudding" as I call it. It lasted a little while . Maybe 2 weeks. I remember the first day I had a "normal" poop, I opened the bathroom door and yelled it through the house. Lmao. This to shall pass, you are all doing great. I am a month out and go about 7 times a week. Some days 1, and If I miss a day, then 2x the next day.
