kj5280 got a reaction from ChubRub in Things I won't miss about being fat!
I do NOT miss:
- Boxy clothes.
- My husband’s disappointed glances. Now he wants to touch me more all of a sudden :-). He never said anything out of line, but I don’t miss those occasional glances...
- Inner thigh rashes and zits.
- Hiding behind people in photos.
- Only liking photos of me taken from the neck up.
- Saving smaller clothing sizes for “one day”. Now I can actually wear them.
- Pot lucks & buffets. Yeah... no thanks. An all-you-can-eat place would be a complete waste of money for me now, anyway.
- Car seatbelts riding up around my neck.
- The waddle my walk was developing.
- Weak bladder control. I can “hold it” a lot longer now. As a result, I have less issues with odor after near misses. I know... TMI
- Hot flashes. Somehow they have disappeared. Interesting.

kj5280 got a reaction from Krimsonbutterflies in Newbie on my Journey ... did you keep your journey a secret
I told fewer than 10 close friends & family, and no co-workers. I didn’t even tell my teen who lives with me. She obviously knows I had surgery, but not the details. She sees my weight loss and notices I eat less, but none of it has “clicked” for her. I think it’s funny. One day when she is more mature I will tell her. I’ve been working from home since March, and one colleagues commented that my face looks slimmer on a video call. Explaining that I have more time to focus on nutrition, and fitness since I don’t commute 2-3 hours per day seems to satisfy any curiosity. I’ll save the comments specific to my surgery for the people whose opinions I value. I have to say, though... the people I have told have been supportive.

There are enough carb grams in your pre-op diet to meet your needs. Trust the process. Talk to your dietitian if you have any concerns. Lots of us are in the same situation. I felt perfectly fine, and now I’m 2 mos post-op.

kj5280 got a reaction from angryspice in Does anyone feel really tired after eating?
Yes! This happens to me often - like Thanksgiving dinner Tryptophan tired! Smaller meals help. Sometimes I eat half of my tiny portion, then eat the other half an hour or so later. I also am getting away from dense foods like beef. This seems to help too.
