Congrats! I love the pics, I remember your pics from the hospital now your all over the sky, love it!!

Down 51lbs, my body is shrinking like crazy...I feel like I'm disappearing...it's a little much some days...I feel like the wind will blow me away!

Sounds awful! I'm taking Senna and have been since surgery :8wks post op). I suggest getting some and crushing them up with some yogurt...tastes a little weird but much better then that yucky stuff your currently taking. Good luck and welcome to the other side:)

So after 8 wks post op the hype about my surgery has gone down which I'm grateful of however now I feel left to fend for myself. It's been me this whole time but there's a sense of loneliness that seems to come through and I give up eating anything right or at all...which scares me. Only lasts a day and then good but still...ugh

7wks post op and down 45lbs and I'm starting to notice all kinds of changes, for instance how much more space I have to clean things up down town, lol. Also, the space entered my belly and my thighs...well there's actually space there! Own side is I'm clumsy as hell, like I'm learning how to walk all over again...it's all kinda cool

Winnipeg!

August 15th

Didn't think the aches, pains and the extremely limited diet would ever end but it has! I'm feeling great, love limiting myself too, feels like I'm in control again. Sending each of you love and prayers and remember be kind to yourself no matter stage your at, especially those that are years out and possibly gaining. xo

Congrats!!! Yay!!

You guys saved me today! Wow my gilt was setting in. As for obsessing about the scale, that's definitly not my issue, I use the scale to help me determine what my body is doing. When I gain a pound and a half that means something is going on, for example Water retention or whichever. I think the scale, like the surgery, is a tool in itself. When I'm curious about weight gain it's because I'm interested to know what's going on in my body, not because I'm demanding weight loss. I've been so focused on surviving after surgery that once I started eating normally'esk I got really freaked out. Good to know my system and body is stronger then that. Thanks to ech of you for saving my mental health. xoxo

Moontime possibly...who the hell knows

His wk I started eating between 1000-1200 calories...which is normal diet for loosing weight and somehow I gained! Granted I've been eating some things with sodium in it which could have caused the weight gain...very strange. Hating this who process at the moment.

Feeling a strong sense of flat affect since I was triggered emotionally yesterday. I have eaten 3 bit size chocolate bars in 2 days and a handful of chips...I'm getting my moontime (menstral) soon I'm sure but man I'm having a hard time filing my stomach. I almost vomitted for the first time today eating chicken and veggies cause I was eating so fast. I have been feeling this way once every few wks...I understand that mental health can go down after surgery but I guess I didn't anticipate these feelings. I'm 5.5wks out...tell me it gets easier. Signing off hopeful..

Welcome to the loosing bench, it gets a little crazy on this side but the journey is worth the destination. Rest up and get to walking as soon a you can:)

1 pain killer for 2 days after post op, otherwise nothing since. (5.5wks out)
