    I love it, gender Fluid is my favorite flavor of this. I identify as a man today and a woman tomorrow, and a demiboy an hour later, and then no gender 3 minutes later but only for 37 seconds!! Fantastic!!

    Lol that's not what that means at all. You are really foolish. You are making yourself look stupid.

    Drinking while eating flushes the food through without digesting it, that will cause malabsorption. I think it might be wise to call your doctor. I hope you feel better soon.

    The research actually shows that drinking liquids with meals does not effect nutrient absorption. Your intestines are very long and effective at pulling the nutrients out of food. The issue with drinking fluids during meals is that it doesn't stay in your stomach as long and so you can feel hungrier sooner. This was also a question that I asked my surgeon.

    I'm just starting on soft foods but they really hurt to swallow. I'm chewing a lot. I never was a person who drank anything while I was eating (I would chug a bunch of Water about 4 times a day) but now I can't get through a few bites without washing it down! Is it normal for it to hurt? Will that go away? Am I totally sabotaging myself by drinking while eating?

    It's def weird, I felt very weird getting total knee replacement - having bones cut and metal parts. That you can feel at least lol, but poof 85% of your stomach, it's like David Cooperfield did a 'slight of hand' trick with a black tablecloth. Presto!

    This is exactly how I feel. Sometimes I wish my abdomen could be see through for a moment so I could just see what's up in there.

    I think it is silly to restrict to men and women only. People are people. When you do that you might really be missing out. Don't assume that a woman (or man) might not have insight into your specific topic. We have spouses, siblings, etc that help us gain experience in all sorts of ways.

    Thank you all for the well wishes.
    im still feeling great, every time I get up I'm doing 10 or more laps of the ward, blood pressure is low, but not too low, blood sugars have normalized following the surgery. All I can say is that the team whose care I am under is amazing.

    It's wonderful that you are feeling so good! Congrats!

    Congrats to you! I have surgery in 42 days (but whose counting?) [emoji4] I will also have to have a hiatal hernia repaired, I'm nervous about having most of my stomach removed AND repairing the hiatal hernia. I have read where people feel like they can't get a deep breath afterwards. Sounds like you were feeling pretty great after surgery! How are you feeling today?

    I had my sleeve and hiatal hernia repair on May 16 (also an umbilical hernia repair). It was kind of weird feeling to take a deep breath but nothing to be worried about. Just use that plastic gizmo they give you to practice taking deep breaths and it gets better fast.

    Please, don't snub me. I simply posted a picture of my food and all hell has broken loose.
    I have done nothing wrong.
    So pls, just stop

    I think I really took this situation to heart and have been thinking about it. I'm a sensitive person and i care deeply about things and i just felt like this needs to be our safe place and that person made it feel less safe.

    Makes me sad. I feel like I have been so hurt as a child, teenager, adult for just being me and doing my thing. Its caused us all to be so self conscious and afraid to be ourselves. We can sometimes forget that people can be fragile. We have all been guilty of being insensitive at times but take the opportunity to step back and evaluate where toy we're coming from when you said what you said. I don't really see the point in criticizing unless there is a focused purpose to foster important and meaningful change. I really don't see how the comment would fit anywhere in that criteria. Just approach with kindness.
