Squizzo

Ya I've only pooped once in 2 weeks and that was about a week ago. It sux! I'm only 10 days post op. Not sure what is safe for me to take so early

My surgeon just shot me a look but wasn't upset. He said for me to maintain my Vitamins and follow the orders of my ob. Which I haven't gone to see yet. I'm 7 weeks and 3.5 months post op. 50 lbs down. Good luck and don't stress about their reactions. U did everything u Cld to avoid it. I even took morning after pill right away and was allergic to it.
This happens to a lot of women though... all that estrogen I guess lol

You might want to try the ring. U don't have to remember to take it daily and I lost weight on it even before my surgery. Def wld be careful with pills as pp said. I ran out of my ring prescription and we used condoms till I Cld get in to Dr. One fell off and I took the morning after pill next day. I was allergic to it. Covered in hives and swollen face and neck. Anyhow, it didn't work lol. I'm happy to be having another baby but really was trying to wait a year. U will b super fertile. I hope the pills work but consider the ring. It sits where it needs to and delivers the meds and your fluctuating weight and hormones are less likely to interfere. Hopefully.

What about going back to 2 Protein Drinks and one small meal? Even at only 6 weeks out, I stall when I eat 3 meals and have to keep going back to drinks with one meal in order to lose. Don't beat yourself up. Get back on track and be proud you haven't gained. You've lost a lot. Surgery isn't a fix all but is definitely a great tool and it will always work if you work it. (((Hugs!)))

I had a friend in high school who told me not to lose weight because I'd look like an alien cuz I have big eyes. I thought it was funny but made me get an idea of how hard it is for other people to accept change. When I lost a lot of weight my senior year from doing aerobics, I had a girl truly concerned that I was going anorexic. She asked me if I was eating and I said "are you serious? ! I had both lunch hours a day and was eating both lunches!" I loved that metabolism! Lol
Is definitely hard for people to be as excited about it as we are. I've even had friends get jealous. It is what it is. They have their own battles and I have mine.
You look awesome and thin but totally normal. I did not see your before and would think nothing but envy if I bumped into you! So happy for you. And ilk prolly be posting a similar thread in about a year lol

So glad glad u don't HAVE to get a c section cuz that wld suck! So excited for you!

Cottage cheese was on my full liquid diet and it helped to feel like I was eating real food. I also had soft cheese (like cheddar) that chewed up really smooth and went down nice and easy.

I am almost 2 weeks out and have not had an acid issue whatsoever. Free things gave me heartburn before and they no longer trigger it at all. I am worried it might develop though... I hope not!

I'm not looking forward to my next bm. I've only had one since surgery and I'm 9 days out. It was extremely painful. Not sure what I can take for it this early but considering coffee

Try not to stress. Sorry you didn't get to prepare for this. There are some people who find ways to eat a lot in small portions throughout the day and gain a lot back. Hopefully you won't want to do this. As a foodie, you can still enjoy many things but in small portions. Most important is that you mostly sick to a Protein first approach. I love not feeling hungry and am able to make better choices because I'm not being controlled by my stomach brain. With that, my head brain sometimes wants to eat for no reason. Something I will have to learn to overconfident. I'm very happy to have this surgery and I think when you take off some weight, you will feel to good to overindulge. You have a low bmi and hopefully you won't have saggy skin. I think weight training might be your new indulgence. As you shed fat, you can tone and define what you initially wanted corrected in the first place. Relax and use this tool and I wish you the best!

I'm wondering if it would be ok to juice during the liquid phase. I would think raw juice wld be safer than processed broth. Is it unsafe cuz of the acid? Wondering if anyone knows.

Farms that produce raw milk are under strict supervision of the USDA. They sell raw milk at many stores and there are many more good things for you in raw milk than there are in pasteurized and homogenized.

I was vegan when I did raw but wld love to add raw milk next time around. Sooooo fricken yummy!
I don't know where u love but I used to live near Santa Monica and they have a few raw restaurants. If you're ever there, u must try planet raw or euphoria loves rawvolution. Heaven!

Ugh! I know what u mean girl! I lost 100 lbs and all of a sudden people were nice to me and for once, my family was treating me with respect and even calling me pretty and all that nice crap... It was sooo nice... Then I gained it all back super fast and I tell ya, I had more confidence as a blissfully ignorant fat person than I do now as one who got to step on the other side briefly and flung right back into this horrible reality. Fat people get treated like crap!
Anyhow, you must learn to let go of all that baggage and live the life you've always seen yourself living. I know it's hard... I know it's not fair that these guys never got to see the real you under the fat and I know you feel pissed that you gotta try to find a decent guy who (even though you're never going to gain that weight back) would love you anyway. It's so unfair that we can't find mr. Right while we are chunky... But as time goes on, I'm wondering how much of that is my fault.
You deserve to be happy. You always have and you will find an awesome guy! Cuz you are awesome!
