Hopefully works!

Thanks all. I'll try and add some more. 9 months today

Thanks Melissa. It is nice having mum with me but boy is she funny! She's definitely the bossier one and making sure I'm drinking. I would say once a fortnight I feel bad from being dehydrated. And today happens to be one of those days. So I got the telling off, I guess that's why she's the mum haha I'll actually post her pics too

You look amazing!!!!

Hey Melissa, Thank you! Mum wasn't feeling too great and she wasn't able to drink very much of anything. Which I'm sure sounds like a hard thing to pick out when everyone struggles but I guess in comparison to me she just didn't look/feel too good. I tok her to see our doc who don't a ct scan and blood tests. This picked up the clots and At the beginning she we on injections but now just warfarin tablets with weekly blood tests to check the INR levels. I will say though, she is 135lbs, 49 years old and even with that complication I don't think she regrets anything. She's pretty much at her goal weight now. I hope that helped x

So I thought I'd share my thoughts now that I'm 7 months out. Firstly 7 months goes fast! Like too fast! I'm fine no complications to share, though my mum who had surgery 3 weeks after me. She ended up getting clots and is now on warfarin. But I believe that's more to do with surgery in general not specifically wls. I think I've been bad, I don't think I've ever got in the recommended amount of Protein or liquids. But I try. I know I'm almost always dehydrated which doesn't feel too great. I don't have any restrictions on anything I can't eat but of course 5 bites and I'm full. I haven't been that active on here but if any one has any questions, I'm always happy to help! The pics are from before surgery the day after surgery and some random ones over the past 7 months. With the most recent that was take 2 says ago whilst getting ready for the work Xmas do
