  1. I was absolutely excited when my towel fit without the gap. It was a great feeling
  2. I've had a few a couple of times but it was fine the first time but the second made me sick. I don't plan on trying again
  3. I had the runs and gas and bloating also couldn't trust my facts fir the first probably month and a half but I was also on the liquid and puree diet longer than most. But it got better when I could eat actual food except I'm still pretty burpy and I get bloated sometimes overall I feel good.
  4. I am 5 months out after gastric bypass and I have been doing pretty good. Overall my family eats what I do unless it's a take out night but the sides are different I usually make a side like rice or potatoes or noodles that I don't eat but the rest I can. I was a big sweet eater before surgery so I thought that would be a problem if I brought any of that in the house for the rest of my family. But Christmas came and I couldn't take the candy in stakings and desert after dinner from them. So we had it and I was so worried before but when it came time I found that it wasn't so bad and as time came I got a cake or something fir desert fir them had no issues. The only problem I had was when my husband brought how cookie like a bunch of them and I made him take them to his office and put them away so I couldn't see them. Otherwise it's been fine
  5. I appreciate the response and advice. It's funny because as long as it's a lean cut of steak I handled fine enjoy it actually. I was always a steak girl but liked chicken and pork chops. But have been trying fish which I wasn't a huge fan of before but finding I'm enjoying some of it now. I also never thought what was going on was body dysmorphia. That is definitely something I'm going to look at.
  6. Thank you sadly I didn't take a picture of me pre op. But maybe I can find one close to then but I hated my picture taken so hopefully I have one somewhere. I searched for the liver puncture but couldn't find anyone who had that happen.
  7. Hi I have been reading through some of these to see if anyone has any of the same issues as me. This is the first time I'm writing anything. I had gastric bypass surgery on 12/2/21. I have had a lot of downs and some ups. I haven't seen anywhere if someone had the same complications as I had. They said that they scratch my liver but there was no bleeding so it was fine. But what actually happened was they punctured it in two places and my abdomen filled with bile and collapsed part of my lung so much pain. Then the bile came through one of the incisions. So gross. Had to go back in to surgery to see what happened that's when they found the punctures and put in a drainage tube also gross but made the pain less. I was down about a month and a half. Went through going through the motions of throwing up with nothing coming up for a month or so. Gas pains for about 2 months now I'm just super burpy which at times can be super embarrassing at times. I'm 5'6" started my journey at 290 and was 286 just before surgery and now I'm at 205 so I'm down 85 lb total and 81 since surgery December so I'm happy about that went from a size 19/20 pants and 3x shirt to a 10 in pants and medium shirt. So I know I'm doing good but there are days I look in the mirror and just can't see the weight loss. Does anyone else have this issue? I also can't stand chicken it makes me physically sick even the smell makes nauseated. Pork chops are also gross. And the crystal light I always liked can't stand. Also the only water I can drink without getting sick is smart water. So has anyone else had any of these things? Did anyone have their liver punctured? I know I asked a lot of questions but if anyone has any info on any or all would love to hear.
