I have mostly great days. I had acid reflux issues the first two weeks but doctor gave meds and advised to sleep upright for now. Also nausea for the last couple days. I think when I was told about chewing slow and taking smaller bite I took it lightly at first. But you really have to learn your body all over again and really really slow down. I really wish I knew that I would be so lethargic, as I'm a fairly on the go kind of person. Since my pre-op diet, I've been lacking energy. But I am told it will get better by latest month 3 of post-op.

Hey I've had my good days and my bad days but over all i think I'm doing ok. My surgeon was Dr. Urbach, I have my follow up appointment on January 7th so waiting anxiously to see how much I've lost cause i really just trust their scale but if it matches up to what my scale says than I'll start weighing myself at home.

@@bigbattynatty thanks I've noticed that things are getting better as the days go by. It's still trial and error especially as I've entered the puree stage. Ypu had your's in november how are you doing besides the low energy?

That's good! Same here, occasional days where I feel nauseous or have gas bubbles in my esophagus but usually passed when I walk around and get moving a bit. I'm just really taking it day by day.

@@bigbattynatty Are you taking anything for the nausea and gas? Have you checked in with your doctor's office about it? I hear it happens fairly often and there's probably something they can give you for it or that you can buy over the counter.

I hope you feel better soon.

      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...
