Hi there, I’m in Mobile AL. I was sleeved on 5/10 and I’m slowly getting used to this new way of life. 5 weeks out and I’m 50lbs down. It’s been a wild ride so far!

Good morning, I'm from Georgia and I had my sleeve done October 17th. So far I'm doing good, trying to get rid of a rash and starting to actually sip more Water than before.
Congratulations on your surgery[emoji255]

Tell him Thank you for showing his 'True Self' yet again. He has toldvyou before exactly wjat he thinks about you snd your weight...what are You waiting to hear from him??? There's nothing that you can do or try to do to make him acknowledge this decision of surgery. Focus on your surgery and then as you heal...make time to push him out of your life along with the carbs you don't need. He's not supporting you, so why keep him around?? He sounds like people who want to see you fail and that is no longer an option. Focus on yourself, stay Prayed up and stop worrying about him.

"My favorite new exercise will be jumping to conclusions... If you keep trying to undermine me"
Or
"watch me run all the way to the O.R."
Congrats & don't let anyone try to steal your possibilities

I agree with Sweet. I'm only 25 days post op and EVERYTME I eat it feels like something is in my throat a and yea although it doesn't hurt...its so uncomfortable and with me it last for hours on end. I usually just try to go to sleep and pray its gone when I wake up. My doctors told me to just try to do liquids like broth n sugar free Jello for now. I even had my throat xrayed to be certain nothing was lodged in there (it wasn't) I wonder will this ever go away. It makes me so miserable and uncomfortable

Tripple yummy looking! I cant' wait!!! I don't know what's gotten into me but lately I've been watching all these youtube bariatric, whole30 and Keto cooking shows. Today I just bought a Instapot and a Air Fryer to get ready to eat again. I'm not craving anything, but just want to eat healthy from the start.

Yep! Same here! Had surgery about 3 weeks ago. I have not really enjoyed the taste of food since. Everything (even things I enjoyed before surgery) has just kind of tasted meh. It's a weird feeling but definitely helps with mental cravings.

Almost 4 weeks post OP and I have pretty much an aversion to everything. I used to love spicy ethnic foods. Now the only thing I enjoy the taste of is ice water... Everything else just tastes "off" to me. Granted I'm still on a soft diet, but I haven't found anything that doesnt leave me with a bad taste in my mouth and nausea afterwards...

Get your Water and fluids in Luv! There is a market for dried apples not for dehydrated Peaches! Also keeps wrinkles away!

I will say I had this 2 month period of being dizzy to the point of falling sometimes, but it wasn't as soon post-op as you are. I agree with the hydration comment, however I'll throw in my experience: my surgeon ran labwork, all came back normal, and he said, "well sometimes this just happens" and that's all the explanation I got! So maybe if you have a follow up soon involving blood work that can help provide some reassurance if things all come back normal.

I'm 40 and had mines October 17th. I admit that I never thought about having surgery until earlier this year. After a horrific 2017, I put on so much weight and I'm happy that I made this decision for the betterment of my life!

Water intake is still a bit low. I've graduated from sipping to at least 2 gulps here and there. But then it feels like it's stuck in my chest all day...

How's your Water intake? I know I get dizzy if I stand too quickly, even 7 months out. But ensuring you've got proper hydration is the first step in making sure you are doing ok. That and Protein intake this early out from surgery.

Don't feel alone, you are far from it!
It's a tough change, but it's well worth it, just keep reminding yourself as to why you wanted the surgery!
