Have never regretted having the surgery. Probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I've been stalled between 149-153 for a little over a month now. I'm really hoping this is not where my body decides to stop losing weight. I'm about 9 months out. I have been more diligent with tracking and have upped my exercise once again in order to break through it. I have faith. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I 'patiently' waited about four months. Finally had a drink and...... it was a terrible idea. Felt terrible. Instant regret. Even now at 9 months out drinking is no longer fun. The buzz comes on quick and leaves quick and you're left feeling sober and sick. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sorry to dip in here but I've been feeling incredibly light headed/dizzy lately. I read thinking it had to do with water intake but now I'm thinking it may be carbs. Did your NUT mention what a good carb ratio looks like? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Things get better with time. For quite a few months post op, I just didnt want to eat at all because it was such a process. After about 6 months post op, things started to get better. Still dont get a whole lot of pleasure out eating (which is a good thing. Food should be nourishment, not comfort or happiness) but have now gotten used to it. It just doesn't bother me like it used too. You'll adjust. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Looking fantastic!

Often stomach acid is mistaken for hunger right after surgery

Gum can allow air into stomach and can also causes a blockage if swallowed. Best to abide by the rules outlines by your doctor, especially for those first couple of post-op months.

Yes. Whenever I have a drink, I get buzzed very quickly. The buzz lasts about 15 minutes and then I am sick. Drinkings has totally lost its appeal now.

First week of IF completed, I did... okay. I'm doing 16:8 and it's really easy for me to refrain from eating in the morning but once the evening hits, I'm like...I need food. However, on a positive note I hit a new weight low today Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I've decided to jump on the IF bandwagon to try to shed my last 10 pounds. Any advice for how to combat morning exhaustion? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app
