ELI.p.m

I'm 22 , would you have done it my age?

Super cold too I started feeling it after losing 20lbs. It's normal I guess since everybody experiences it on here

It's because of the ketones I saw a YouTube video about it might appearing on light skinned people.

How old are/were you the day of surgery?

They put a tube down your throat so you might want to think about that too mines was really sore the first 2 days.

I had cough and phlegm, but I had the surgery anyway. It was hell trying to cough after surgery. My abdomen hurt SOOO much everytime I coughed/sneezed. If I would have known it was going to be painful I would have put it off , but yet I'm real cry baby.

I couldn't eat a thing for the first 5 weeks not even a bottle of water aday . I was told it was because of the swelling. I was petrified to eat anything outside the guidelines because I was so scared to be in pain ( even water hurt the first month). When I got discharged my husband got pizza right before picking me up and the car smelled horrible and I threw up. I've gone out to restaurants just for the social part I get appetizers and can't even finish that but I had the same thoughts as you " omg I used to be able to eat appetizers dinner and deserts with a 12 oz soda even more ." I used cry about not being "normal" and I thought !will food be a challenge forever! I was jealous of the portion size they would be able to eat Now (12 weeks postop) i cant eat almost anything chicken nuts,toast, salads but of course 1/2 cup portions usually, MAYBE 1cup if my stomach lets me. I'm not saying it's 100% better because I'm not I have struggles almost everyday. Still learning ..... But it WILL get better I promise. MY normal is better healthier and I feel energetic. I think about it this way. I used to be in pain (had a hernia) tired AND fat and now after some few struggles finally getting skinny. Which is better??

My first stall started at start of the 3rd week. I had lost 25lbs before the stall and it lasted 3 1/2weeks. Iam now 12 weeks post op and havent stalled since.

What are you eating or what were you eating at 10 weeks out and How much????

Wow !! Congratz to all that went to work right after surgery. I am a stay at home mom, it took me about 2 weeks to recoup well enough to take my kids to School in the CAR! ... I guess everyone's diff ... 4 weeks to actually get out the house. 7 weeks out since yesterday, If I eat my protein and water I have more energy than before surgery. Eat the wrong stuff I feel weak and sleepy ALLDAY.

I also do what @@Elode did I never put anything in the blender it's grossed me out the first time. Iam sticking to soft foods or just chewed my food until it's purée ... Then swallow. If you can shred your chicken like into a tuna fish consistency it's ok too. Just try them minutes apart when it's new food and texture so you know if you ate a non-painful amount. Hope this helps... I would give you ideas but they said them all ✌️

Thank you melting m ???? its been going better getting the most water I can, really trying hard to get that protein and staying away from the wrong foods. I already see the diff in my mood and they way I carry out the day...best of all my body ✌️???? hope everyone is doing good too. it's never late to change ????

Every days is new day to change a bit more for the better ????

I really liked your quote it opened my eyes and try to see the good and not the bad of this surgery. I've had so many break downs and regrets. Hopefully Iam Soooooo over it. Time to stop lingering in the past. ITS JUST FOOD!!! ( what I tell my self )
