Lost&Found

Thank you! That makes me feel a bit better. I guess I need to slow it WAYYY down. Maybe one day we'll be out of the woods!

I had surgery January 9th, 2019 and to date have lost a total of 138.4 lbs. It's really been an amazing transformation for me both physically and mentally. In hindsight, there have been no real negatives post-surgery, except for my most recent issue. I'm almost 6 months post-surgery, and I'm still having a really hard time eating enough food. Every time I eat, I have this really bad 'stuck' feeling, which I know can happen. I've slowed down my consumption, I don't drink liquids, etc...Basically, I'm doing everything I should be doing, but I quickly get full and/or nauseous and feel that way for about an hour after I eat. I've heard of some people being able to eat almost as much as they did pre-surgery and I'm just wondering what everyone's experience on the time frame of that. I rarely have an appetite and find myself often having to eat when I'm not hungry. Obviously, I know we're all going to have different experiences, but I'm wondering if there's anyone else who had a rough time with eating/feeling nauseous and when/if it got better?

I'm a little over 7 months post-op and I still get that fullness/pressure in my chest when I eat too fast or too much.
It takes me a really long time to eat, especially if I'm eating something dense. And when I say a long time, I'm talking maybe an hour to eat about a 1 cup (maaaybe 1.5 cup sometimes) volume of food. If I don't, I'll start to feel pain. And if I ignore it, I will eventually need to barf.
It has gotten better as time goes on, in the sense that my volume limit has (slowly) increased.

This is my first post here, and I'll start by saying that this post in no way is intended to be attention-seeking or anything of the like, but is rather coming from a place of concern. I had surgery on January 9th of this year, and only had minimal upper torso gas pains for a few days that eventually subsided. I felt virtually back to normal by day 3 post-op. I've stuck to everything my nutritionist/doctor have told me to do. At my 5 day post-op follow up I had lost 20.2 pounds. This far exceeded the amount that I or my family thought. I was pleasantly surprised, but that also seemed like a high number. My doctor told me not to worry, and that men typically lose weight faster and that my body is responding the appropriate way. A few days later I noticed I hadn't lost any weight, and had actually gained a couple pounds. I started my work out plan the day after surgery so I was a bit discouraged by this; I chalked it up to my body sort of 'righting the ship' so to speak, and finally on the 4th day, I started losing weight again. This brings me to my current state. I am down a total of 42 pounds since January 9th (6 days shy of a month), and I'm concerned that this is way too fast. Luckily, I have a football build and I think there's be minimum long-term skin issues, aside from my lower stomach. Is there anyone else out there that last weight too quickly (and is this actually a thing?)
