Hello! I am new to this forum and I am so excited to have found a community of people who are on the same journey as me! I am nine weeks post surgery and have lost a total of 50 pounds. This has not been an easy journey for me. For 14 days post op I could get nothing in except water and only minimal at that. I should have been rehospitalized but it was Christmas and I refused to go to the hospital! I had to work closely with my doctor and dietician to get through it and am doing much better. Eating is still a struggle for me and I find myself having to often force myself to eat and trying new foods is also a challenge. I am terrified of trying bread! However, I am still so happy that I was able to have the surgery. I know that one day all this will have been worth it. I am so ready to get my life back and become an active and more involved mother for my children. I can't wait to explore this site and get recipe ideas and other tips.
