Oct517 got a reaction from pintsizedmallrat in PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Lock down the guys/gals rooms by gender!!
I feel like this thread should be shut down because it has basically become a place where transphobic people feel the need to spread their hate.

Oct517 got a reaction from Krimsonbutterflies in Costco. Does anyone go there for pre op food?
The Premier Protein bars in bulk are the way to go!

Oct517 got a reaction from Alwzla8 in Sneezing and Other Weird Signs Your Pouch is Full
I get hiccups very often now which was never a thing pre-surgery. Its definitely associated with eating and drinking but not necessarily a "you had enough" sign. I think it just has to do with the new layout of the stomach and the way air gets trapped/moves throughout.

Oct517 got a reaction from Bastian in I don’t want to eat
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.

Oct517 got a reaction from GreenTealael in The Maintenance Thread
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?

Oct517 got a reaction from FluffyChix in Your stall story
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.

LOL yeah, I've been doing a lot of ab exercises to help with my back issues. I almost couldn't keep the grin off my face when I was able to do 3 sets of 10 of incline bench crunches while holding a 25 lb plate. And the fact that I can actually start to feel them is just so damn cool LOL.

Oct517 got a reaction from Orchids&Dragons in Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
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

At the end of the day, our outward appearance is just a shell that we use to masquerade the parts of ourselves that actually matter. If you're looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself, you're looking at the wrong parts.
Also I'm sure your PCP is correct and that you look great! We tend to be harsher on ourselves.

Oct517 got a reaction from BlueAngelEyes in Are sugarfree mints ok to suck on with sleeve ?
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.
