Just me again Im just at the end of my day 13 post surgery and had a few not so good days. I think I tried to move on a little too fast and tried foods that weren't liquid enough for me. I was feeling so good and wasn't nauseous or in any kind of pain to talk of so I thought I would try some fish pie. How silly of me! It was either too rich as I put some cheese in the sauce or it was just a little too thick.Anyway next day was spent mostly on the loo! I've gone back to Soup and my tummy has settled. I can't believe how full I feel after just a couple of mouthfuls too. I am losing weight too 10kgs since my surgery 15th Nov and I can really see it myself now!

The only thing I am struggling with is getting exercise in I feel quite weak still possibly as I'm not used to doing any at all and also as I am tiring easily because of the food intake. However I did go for a short walk today so I'm chuffed with myself. Onwards and shrinking - bring it on!!

Have a great week folks and hang in there!

@@startinganewme - Enjoy the ride. Terms to know:

NSV - non-scale victory

Stall - the inevitable point where you body catches up on fat loss and readjust your metabolism and causes you angst for a few weeks thinking you are doing something wrong. Stalls happen, don't sweat it.

Hormone Rush - Since hormone's are stored in fat, you might get some strange emotions or urges you have never felt before. It's normal, but it may explain why you want to have sex more often, in strange places, with strange people.

Panic Points

Not pooping for a week to 10 days post surgery. Ehm, it will all come out in the end. You will worry, but don't.

New attention from people, which may bum you out because you feel like the same person, but people are treating you differently. Eventually you will find your new normal and the feeling passes.

I'm sure others can add to the list. Congrats.

Oh my goodness thanks for making me giggle @ OKCpirate. I read your reply out to my hubby he didn't know whether to look pleased or not about the hormones!!!!!!

Hello everyone! Just found this app and it's brilliant! I'm 7 days post surgery after a gastric sleeve. I think I'm doing pretty well so far I'm only really struggling to take in enough Water etc. I find drinking slowly and sipping often is the best for me. I'm looking forward to giving and getting support on here.
