You did it once, you can do it again. Best wishes to you!

I haven't experienced that, but it makes sense because you are ingesting less fats and oils.

I do the same thing. I now eat with a timer from my phone.. Even if its banana pancakes. Next bite if its a soft food is 1 min, if anything other its a min of 2 min wait and then when timer goes off, i will decide if i need to add another 2min to the time depending on how i feel.

It happened to me last week, I'm 4.5 months out and still forget to eat slow at times, you will feel better soon. Take care 😉

I stupidly ate my lunch too fast today because I was busy at work. The last bite gave me an unbelievable pain in upper abdomen. Really intense. I ran to the bathroom and tried to throw it up, but I couldn’t. I felt a little better though, because the gagging must have moved some stuff around. About 2 hours later I took my Vitamin pills and started my shake, and while I don’t feel pain, I still feel pressure and just a weird sensation, and it is uncomfortable to drink. Can stuff get stuck going down? I mean, it can’t still be stuck because I took a pill and drank but maybe I kind of bruised something? Never again will I rush to get those damned grams of Protein in. I’m 2 .5 months out and sometimes I feel normal and forget that I am early in the process and healing. I was stunned at how bad that hurt, it was scary.

By the 4th week I was able to eat soft food, but even at 2 1/2 months grilled chicken gives me trouble. Moist rotisserie chicken is easier, dark mat is easier than white. Try fish, that is easier.

Wow, you hit the loose skin jackpot, no one would ever know that you aren't just a naturally thin person, you have not one bit of loose skin!

I'm willing to take out loans if necessary. For once in my life I want to look good. I'm older and obese for most of my life, and even though I'm not that far along I can already see a dramatic difference in my breasts and I know skin will be a huge problem for me.

So I know it is recommended that you stabilize your weight after reaching goal/max loss before getting skin removed, but is it possible to do breast implants sooner? I know I am thinking pretty far ahead here because I am only about halfway to my goal weight but my breasts are so small now and they look weird and I am extremely self conscious about it. Can you get implants as soon as you reach goal?

You may want to talk it over with your plastic surgeon. ask what will give you the best results.
I'm envious of those that can afford plastics. For me it's about a good bra and Shapewear.

A lot of this, for me, was hormonal. After about three weeks I started to feel normal again. I have bad days, like raging head hunger and urge to eat everything in the house yesterday, but those are occasional and manageable. Right after surgery I was super emotional, anxious, depressed. It felt like extreme PMS. I am 8 weeks out now and feeling pretty stable. Good luck.

You can tell the truth without discussing your surgery: Portion Control, low carb, seeing a nutritionist, etc.

American bias comes out when mentioning Medical Tourism, but from what I can see the facilities are far more state of the art than the ones in the U.S.

Only my husband and mom know and I don't plan on telling anyone else. People are ignorant about the surgery and are judgemental about it, and I don't need negativity, nor do I need anyone asking a million questions. I don't like discussing my personal health issues with anyone.

Somehow I lucked out with a private room, which I was not expecting. I am extremely private and introverted and it was a pleasant relief. I did not vomit after my surgery, and when my surgeon checked on me, I told him I was well, and "I haven't thrown up or anything" and he said, "Well, you aren't supposed to!"

I simply said I needed surgery and filed the paperwork. My surgeon gave me a very discrete note which just said I was under his care, was having surgery and would need up to 4 weeks recovery time (I took 2). One supervisor asked, "Can I ask what kind of surgery?" which was a little out of line and rude, but she also kind of thinks we are friendly and we really aren't. I just said, "Female thing," and sounded uncomfortable, so she stopped there. It is no one's business, and they can think what they want. There are all sorts of surgery and medical issues that people don't want to discuss. WLS is nothing to be ashamed of, but neither is a vasectomy, or hemmoroid surgery, but people wouldn't expect you to talk about that.

I am so very sorry for your tragic loss.
