Hi all,

Had my check-up yesterday, and it seems although the eating issue is an issue, if you get all your Vitamins in the main thing to concentrate on is hydration.... I'm back in a month to check progress again, but no alarm bells are ringing at the moment.... Phew!!!

I had same problem, I finally had my gallbladder out and I am just getting to feeling right. I was sleeved in July and GB out in December. I still get sick if I eat too fast.

I am just starting week 6, and I was told by my dietician to eat with a teaspoon to make sure your not putting too much in your mouth so for someone to say they are only eating 6 teaspoons of food makes perfect sense to me. I am the same, if I eat its only 4-6 teaspoons but I try and ensure I have three meals a day so it adds up to extra. I do still get disappointed that I can't finish a meal even though its a tiny portion, if I'm enjoying the food but my tummy says no way I just stop. I've learnt not to push it as if I continue I get very sick. I do carry a water bottle with me everywhere or I forget to drink, this got me pass my stall and is a blessed relief when I'm feeling very dry, I constantly take sips x

I hope I have anyway, if I start to stall again I may just cry lol it was horrid to stall but I read lots of feedback on here and the main advice was drink...drink..drink. So I bought my Water bottle and carry it everywhere, sipping as I go :-)

I am 1 1/2 years out and it has only been a few months that the regular sickness is going away. But I still get sick once a week or every two weeks. I needed to identify what was making me sick, at first it was eggs and cheeses. I can eat them now in little doses. Breads seem to plug me up and I get sick fast, so I have learned to not eat the bread or have one small nibble. I also will eat flat tortillas, not pita bread. Eating too fast has been my problem also, I can't eat at the table I have to eat in front of TV to distract me from my small plate. Also make sure to not drink with meals, that seems to get me sick pretty quick.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
