You do realize that when you post on here you are essentially asking for thoughts and feedback, right?
If you don't want thoughts and feedback, then post the picture on Pinterest.
NO ONE was even remotely trying to be offensive or insensitive to you. At all.

I don't think anyone meant any harm, they were just letting you know about their experiences and what they took.

Oddly enough, but out of nowhere the last two weeks I am, as well. Surgery was 3/23/16. So a year after to you I guess
I'm getting my Protein, Water and vits in so wth? Lol. Have one brewing right now. Getting tired of waking up with a headache every day Tylenol doesn't work and ibuprofen - my drug of choice- is now a no no.

I realized mine when I went to my grandson's graduation from kindergarten. I haven't quiet come to grips with my feelings about it though.
Here it is:
I looked around the auditorium and suddenly -out of nowhere realized that I was no longer the fattest woman in the room.
I'm a bit ashamed of the thought.
I'm a bit amazed of the observation.
--and I'm more than a wee bit proud of myself.
Confused? So am I.

I had RNY June 24th. A week after I had 9 days of cluster Migraines with aura. My surgeon assumed I was dehydrated & I was infused with a liter of saline. So far no more since the infusion! (Knock on wood) if you are continuing to get them, I don't know.

I no longer move far to the wall in hallways to let people pass.

Didn't lie about my weight when I renewed my driver's license for the first time EVER.

Your recovery sounds a lot like mine. By the end of the first week the fatigue DID kick in, but I allowed myself to rest and then got up and moved by walking as soon as I did. I was walking a few miles by the end of two weeks. Never had an issue with liquids, or keeping food down.
Since the first month- I'm now just past 3 months- I completely re-hauled my front landscaping myself, started at the gym with a personal trainer, and kept moving. So embrace what you have, listen to your body and enjoy the new you! I've dropped 73 lbs since March 23 and hit 199 today!

Lol my wife and I had surgery the same day. I was in a living hell, and as I'm dry heaving very loudly, I can hear her ask the nurse "is it weird that I don't feel nauseous or sore at all??".. I literally wanted to kill her lol. So anyway, you're good. Everyone's different. Be happy.

Congratulations!!

Hi June buddys Hope everyone is doing well. I met with the surgeon who will be doing my hernia repair as part of my procedure. 9 more days for me. I am definitely having a nesting instinct thing going on.

I'm home from my surgery after one night in the hospital. Some nausea and vomiting from swallowing crushed pills but I'm doing better than expected.

Today is my one week surgiversary. I have lost over 9 pounds in the last week and more than 27 pounds since the beginning of my pre-op diet!

I am getting so excited. Pre op testing tomorrow morning and surgery Wednesday morning. It seemed like 2 weeks would never end when I started the liquid diet and now I am so close. I am packing tonight and shopping for post op supplies too. Just trying to keep my mind distracted. Other good news is that my replacement fit bit came in today! I have missed it this past week.

My surgery is today too

I drank a lime Margarita with a Corona dumped in it. From a straw. It was delightful.

If you want beer then have some beer once you are healed up inside

That's one of the all time greatest post!! I'm freaking out a little myself & do glad I read that! Thanks!! Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

You should be able to eat anything BUT if there is a food or three you can't? You won't miss them.
I used to love rice, Pasta, ice cream, soft bread. Now those foods make me feel nauseated and shakey if I eat more than a bite or two. I no longer want them.
Most of us have a drinking story, right? In high school, senior beach week, I drank so much peach schnapps, I puked for two days. Now I can't smell it without wanting to vomit.
It's just like that, but better.

I used to drink wine. I can't now because it is too acidic and gives me horrific heartburn.

I do like a vodka/diet cranberry or diet pomegranate or a whiskey with Coke Zero. Now that it's summer, though? I love a cold beer or three. Sometimes the carbonation is uncomfortable, sometimes it is not. I do have a much better time of it if I pour it in a glass to allow some of the bubbles to some to a head.

My doctor cautioned against alcohol for two reasons. First, it's empty calories. Second, people tend to eat more with less inhibition when they are intoxicated -- and usually not making good, healthy choices. Good thing about beer for me? After even one, I can't eat for at least an hour. I'm totally full. Two, I won't eat for several hours. Three, I won't eat for the rest of the day.

A bonus? I burp like a sailor and it's quite awesome.

I just started my liquid diet. I have to be on it until June 17th. I'm going to imagine the gnawing feeling in my stomach is fat dissolving in acid. Yeah, that's what it is...

Hi!! I am at Baritrix Clinic in Ypsi!! I am so excited, had my 2 week meeting, it is almost go time!! ????
