How many oz is everyone eating per meal at this point?

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

I know exactly how hard that is! Hang in there

I am 3 weeks off now, will be 4 on Friday and today is first day that I almost don't have nausea and was able to eat. It will get better, that I see now... I honestly didn't think it would...

liquid foods I'm having 4 ounces (thick soups). pureed foods, I'm having 2-3 ounces. If I have more than that, I feel sick. Not sick like dumping syndrome, but I feel sick like uncomfortable. It's hard to explain it. I don't know if that is what "full" feels like, but I am labeling it as I'm full. So I stop.

I had a hard time today...

I think I have been very strong since surgery. I came to visit my mother and she was making pork ribs with rice (her famous rice). I admit I wanted to eat so bad but ONLY out of fear of getting sick, I didn't. That isn't what bothered me. What bothered me was the thought of when it would be okay to eat rice with pork ribs. I know it's not okay now, but will I ever be able to eat pork? What about white rice? The rice I grew up with??! These thoughts kept getting longer and longer until I finally started crying. Sushi? Taquitos? I didn't think I'd miss food like this. I love pop corn. I love eating it with flamin' hot cheetos. When will I be able to enjoy that again? Sigh. Finally doubt set in.. Did I make the right choice?

I'm just having a rant... it's hard because the pureed food I'm eating now, I eat it so slow that I don't even enjoy it. Tiny little bites and I can't even taste. I feel so robbed.

I know it's for my health and when I step on the scale, it's worth it but I still feel sad sometimes.

Somehow it's bothering me that I can eat and drink amounts that literally feel like a lot compared to what I thought would be possible.

I'm a bit anxious about what eating will be like in a few weeks and months from now... :o

Does anyone have a achy feeling inside their stomach?

I think that comes from when your incision starts to heal and I felt that way if I did too much activity or stretching around, also if my undies were too tight

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
