Ok this is TMI but I feel so gross that maybe some one here will understand. I am on vacation right now so I haven't been drinking Water as consistently and I left my fiber pills at home. Well I hadn't gone in three days and I felt like Rocks were sitting in my stomach. Boy was I right. I just had the most painful BM and there was lots of bleeding. It was so much backed up and so hard I can't keep going like this. I don't want to get hemorrhoids . Before surgery I was very regular and now it's a pain in my ass, literally.
Ok I will try you suggestions. Thanks. Sorry for the details.

Today I are at Baja Fresh and ordered the skinny wahoo fish bowl (no rice sub more Beans though next time I think I will sun more veggies). It is 3 pieces of grilled mahi 2oz each and a bowl w cabbage, black beans and this really good mango salsa. It's so good. With out the rice it came to 459 calories and it lasted me three meals (lunch, snack and dinner). It's gonna be my new go-to if I have to eat out.

Unfortunately some people have befriended the fat us so they feel better about themselves or to have support for themselves without knowing how to give it back. I had a friend who once told me after I lost weight, "but you were my fat friend. You made me look good at parties". I never spoke with her after that comment and sadly she didn't realize she even said it and when I confronted her years later she cried. I know she didn't mean to hurt me but it was a glimpse into how people pigeonhole fat people for comfort. The way I see it is when I'm at my happiest (working out, feeling healthy, in love, proud of myself, productive) I want others o be happy and feeling good. People who are unhappy want others to be unhappy with them. I only gather support from happy positive people. Good luck.
I do think you will inspire others to lose weight and that is flattery not insult.

Lately I've been on a kick of an egg sunny side up with imitation crab meat. Mmmm yum.
I love Greek yogurt. I have also been loving a shake: Greek yogurt, ff milk, fruit and sugar free raspberry Torani Syrup.
Or a Protein shake w powder, ff milk, Peanut Butter, and sugar free caramel syrup. Mmmm

I agree with everything everyone said. What I would recommend is acknowledging you will have the first month be emotional (whether you're mourning the loss of food, a body part, freedom to eat, hormones out of whack, exhaustion, dehydration). Expect to have some emotional feelings of overwhelmingness and if you don't, great! But remind yourself this is normal and it will pass! You are losing a huge part of a major organ... That's a loss your mind and body have to accept with time. After about 4 weeks I felt back to normal and working out only made my mood better!!! I Zumba, swim and run and I sleep better than ever! I'm only 6 weeks out and not too long ago I was where you will be. I had no libido for 2weeks and thought it ruined my sex drive. No!!! My body was just healing!!!
Please take care of yourself and listen to your body. sleep if you need a nap! Drink if you need it! Take little trips out. Don't overdo it but don't stay locked up either (I obsessed with what I couldn't eat when I wasn't busy). You will feel great in no time! Month 2 is exciting! You can do it!!!!!

Should I be able to drink 4oz of Soup and feel satufied and not overly full? It seems like I am able to eat more than others my same timeline (week and a half out). I can drink lots of Water without any bad feeling. I sip and not gulp but I can do sip after sip. Anyone have initial confusion with what the feeling was asking (hunger, full or thirsty)? I worry I am able to drink too much:0/ I just ate a cup of egg drop soup with no problem.

You look amazing! Poster child for the sleeve!!!
