Totally normal. It should go away in few days.

You have to really make an effort to do this. I try chewing 25 times if it is a solid.

It takes a while to get used to. My nutritionist says to eat one meal over 20 minutes. Now that they look so small it sometimes seems hard to do.

Anyone that is about to get this surgery. Please practice eating and drinking slowly. You will be sorry that you didn't. I didn't practice and have paid several times for eating to quick. You really need to practice when you are really hungry and really thirsty, when we tend to drink and eat fast.

My surgery was 3/4. Pre surgery diet and weightloss since is 53lbs

While I was on it I started hearing things. Basically like an auditory hallucination. I quit taking it after the second day.

Great job!!

You look great. Why are you in the hospital?

Nothing but walk. The first few days are rough. But it gets better each day.

I was up 9 pounds after surgery. It's IV fluids. You'll be down in a few days.

When is it okay to drink beer again? Please don't lecture me on not drinking and how bad it is and blah blah blah. I'm not an alcoholic but I do like my beer occasionally. Thanks.

I'm down 40lbs and guess who poked his head over my belly after sex yesterday!! F*ck yeah!!

Huge difference

I take trazodone 100mg. I don't have any side effect like that.

At least your still having it. You have a date. Stay positive

Here's what I got from my NUT

It gets easier after a few days. You will start to feel indifferent about food.

After day four I could eat cottage cheese, oatmeal, grits, egg whites, apple sauce. All in 1/4 cup increments.

I'm 14 post op. I'm on full liquids right now.

Why don't I feel full after I eat?

I can't lift anything heavier than 5lbs. I've broken it often. It's not realistic.

You've lost 80% of what you wanted to lose. That's pretty good!! What 20 more pounds?!?
