@shelterdog64. Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Doc said it appeared ok but that he has to go back and look at everything and write up a report. It still feels like things are stuck and bc of that it makes me puke or just feel uncomfortable.
Also, my stress level has been through the roof. I started back to work today and while I was so excited I had no energy after 5 hours. Also, yesterday was a terrible day. I found out that my fiancées brother was found dead. He was only 30. July is a tough month for me as my sister passed two years ago in July also

I've definitely hit slight stalls. I'm in one right now where I havent lost in about a week. I'm definitely hitting my Protein goals without any issues but I'm not hitting my 64oz Water goal. I've only hit it total about 3 times. I do consistently hit 50+ oz a day tho. Drinking all that water feels like a job. It's hard. I know it'll all eventually happen tho and more weight will come off. I finally go back to work this week so that will help. I also have to go get my procedure done tomorrow to see if I have a structure bc I always feel like something is stuck in my throat/esophagus

Since I've had my surgery, I've definitely learned a couple things about myself.
1. I am used to eating EXTREMELY FAST and it is very difficult for me to slow down enough when eating
2. I am still having major head hunger issues! I feel like I'm STARVING and dream of food, but when I actually eat, it's like 5 bites and I can't eat any more.
3. I sometimes miss overeating. Isn't that crazy?! I miss being able to take those big huge bites, or eat an entire bowl of Pasta. I think that is part of this process, letting go of those unhealthy relationships we used to have with food.< /p>
And the final thing I've learned is that I have more confidence with every pound I lose! Down 21 and feeling GREAT!
What have you learned about yourself so far?

Hi! Little late to the group but better late than never I had my surgery June 23rd. I've lost 33 lbs total so far but 15 lbs of that was on my pre op diet. I'm still on liquids till Thursday then I go to puréed foods & I can't wait!! I've had several dreams of real food! I couldn't stomach the premier Protein shakes after surgery they just felt heavy in my stomach so GENEPRO and fair life chocolate milk has been my savior. I'm over the sweet though! And have to admit I may have licked a potato chip just for some salty goodness! I know it's horrible but I didn't eat it! Glad to join the group and loved reading all your posts!

Hi all!! I'm new to this!! I had surgery he 23rd. They told me I could go through a slew of emotions after and boy are they right. I'm currently going through the regret phase. I know it will get better but it's hard. I had my gallbladder out at he same time so I'm having a lot of pain and getting the fluids down is soooo difficult for me. I had my follow up today and had to go to the hospital for 2liters of IV fluids. My roommate at the hospital had bypass and we keep in touch for support and she has been feeling great! This is tough stuff and definitely not easy! A lot of cramping.
How are you all doing? The support we can give each other is huge and I love the whole concept of it!

I completely understand. Also going through so many emotions and completely regretful. I'm so incredibly weak and tired. I have zero energy.
I'm also very emotional.

Has anyone out there that has gotten the procedure had heightened emotions since? Literally everything gets to me and I cry. I cry bc I'm cold...bc I'm alone at home, because I feel like I'm not fun anymore and can't do fun things with my fiancée anymore right now....I'm just an absolute mess.
