Hey Nikki! I absolutely feel this. I had surgery on 7/1 and I’ve been very selective about who I told. My daughter and she didn’t tell her siblings, husband, sister and 3 close friends. However, I told my mom afterwards. I knew she wouldn’t understand. She never understands. 🤦🏾‍♀️ But she was supportive. People are mean. And honestly, it’s just none of their business. I told everyone of them, if I could lose 100lbs on my own, I would’ve. It wasn’t because I didn’t try! It wasn’t because I was inactive. It was because I couldn’t and it was getting the best of me.

It is a tool. It helps. You work hard even with surgery! And no one should judge or discredit that. ❤️

BLUV CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Good thoughts and prayers for an easy procedure!!!

YAY!!! Nothing but good things coming your way!!!! #liveyourbestlife

From what my doctor said that varies. I too, feel my hunger pains. But then I eat and can’t. I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I did not use meds when I came home. I was mostly sleepy. Lol! But I’m good now!

Every doctor has their way. As long as we are healthy and lining our best life.

I have not been able to eat an entire yogurt. I can’t eat an entire anything. I am also not allowed to eat grainy foods like COW or grits. Did you feel full or sick after the yogurt? Where did you have your surgery?

I had gastric sleeve surgery on July 9th and I'm down 12 pounds. I ate the 2nd non-liquid food tonight and it seems like I was able to consume too much. I've had cream of wheat (3 Tbsp dry) 2 days ago but tonight I was able to finish a Chobani plain nf greek yogurt container. I thought the sleeve only allowed for 4 bites of food? I'm almost worried that something isn't right with my surgery and I paid cash. Should I be able to comfortably eat a container of non-fat Chobani?

Congratulations! I was sleeved July 7th. I’m down 12lbs. I have bad spams when food goes down. What is exercise routine like?

Congratulations!! I was sleeved on July 8th and down 24lbs. You made my day by sharing how much you lost and giving me hope:) The Vitamins make me gag but I get them down. I agree this is different. I am in purée stage too . Getting a little tired is ground chicken and eggs but it is worth it! Please share any good recipes !

I’ve started chicken salad! It’s been going down well. I was putting it in my ninja but there wasn’t much difference so I just mash it up. That has given me a little variety. And o NEEDED it! My go to snack has been crystal light slushees! It helps fools and helps me get in my liquids! I did have a received bean dip one day and it was delish! Not really a dip but Beans and a little cheese. You are doing great! Keep killing it!

I just walk right now. I do some arm lifts. Once I get my clearance to work out, I’ll explore more options.

My surgery was July 1st. I am down approx. 30lbs. It’s been different. I had an allergic reaction to my Vitamins, but other than that, adjusting well. I am at the puréed stage and that has been a huge relief! I am ready for a real meal though! Hope everyone is doing well and are having success!
