no' date=' because i was swollen from surgery.

i followed my dr's and nutritionists instructions to the letter, as i am now[/quote']

I'm trying to understand.... So your stomach being swollen didnt allow u to drink/sip.. did u feel a restriction? Or u didn't have a desire to drink.

i sipped and i sipped for2 weeks...if i pushed it, i would get sick to my stomach, one time and i never did it again.

it was clearly (a sensation of what restriction could feel like)

i got full on a couple sips. now, just over 3 months out, 4 oz fills me up like at thanksgiving

yes, because of all i did to have surgery

why in the world would i mess it up by over eating/drinking shortly after surgery..major surgery.all dr's are different. more concerned with this persons health and not wanting them or anyone to rush

allow your body to heal and rest...i mean no harm or disrespect to anyone (cept mad :o )

The reason you do not feel hungry or thirsty is because your stomach is still swollen from the surgery. I somedays I have a hard time with tuna and I have been banded for 7 months (band being tight somedays). My advice is 1 call your doctor and tell him your concerns and 2 eat only 1 cup per meal, slowly, and drink slowly. The eating habit is a learning process. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Take care & good luck.

Ok. Got you. I haven't felt the "sensation" yet. I sip down broth, Jello sugar free popsicle and just added Protein drink to the day. I haven't felt hungry. I eat something because I know I have to. I haven't felt a thanksgiving full either. I've been content really since surgery.

if you are hungry, that is normal. those Protein shakes were my food until my insides healed

the more i healed, the hunger came back

as ajtex said, just because we can eat/drink more than we should, doesnt mean we should

Of course I'm not trying to mess it up. That's why I haven't pushed myself to the point to feel anything bad. I don't want to.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
