Not one bite to eat... The head games are stronger than ever. I need to just chew something. Almost over..... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. :)

I planned poorly today and did not have a shake or extra Water handy. Returned home to finish up making dinner and simply had to eat some food... Two weeks post op tomorrow. So, I chewed and spit most out in the sink twice. However, I did eat some chicken, chewing it up real good. No damage other than berating myself for poor planning.

The first time I tried to eat a bite of anything it was Jello (sprinkled my meds on it) at about 10 days. Gagged so hard I had a huge anxiety attack and thought I was gonna die. I was scared to eat after that. But ate poached egg at 16 days and did fine. It's ok now. The head hunger has been defeated by knowing the consequences of eating too much or too fast. Learned the hard way.

I was sleeved on Tuesday and surprised at how little pain I had...other than the gas which was horrible! As for food I have to say I don't think I realized how serious my issues with food were until now. Just knowing that it's not physically possible that I'm hungry so whatever agony I'm in is totally head hunger and it's pretty intense. I've got another 14 days of Clear liquids and so far the issues I'm having the most are:

1. Keeping up with my Fluid. I'm pretty sure I'm dehydrated but it's rough. Feels like drinking is my job now. lol

2. Being around other people who are eating. My boyfriend has been amazing but he can't pretend he doesn't eat forever.

I know I should be over the moon ecstatic that this thing I've wanted for so long has finally happened but for some reason I just feel...blah. Anyone else experiencing this?

On the plus side...I'm down 16 pounds from my in hospital weight (which was about 6 pounds higher than my pre-op weight...I chalk it up to Fluid and gas)

Charm, I think maybe "anticlimactic" is how I would describe my blah... There is so much build up, but there is also a lot of work ahead for me, so it feels daunting. What a nice boyfriend you have, keeping food temptations low! Continued good recovery

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
