Today I am 4 days post-op and still in disbelief this is my life. I am so thirsty, and I can't just go to the sink and drink a large glass of ice Water. That is not my life. I can't eat a piece of that pie leftover from Thanksgiving. That is not my life.

I am drinking coffee with sugarfree Creamer (pumpkin pie) and taking 8 pills - we'll call that Breakfast. Not really. Seriously I have to eat some food or these pills are going to hurt by the time I'm done...and they take well over an hour to take spaced apart enough. I made potato Soup and blended it to make it a cream Soup. I'm going to eat that or Tomato Soup (til I get cleared on Tuesday).

I'm not in much pain. Like a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. Mostly it's back and shoulder pain, and I wonder if that's because of laying on my back too much.

No, it's from the gas they fill you up with to do the surgery! Heating pad!

My best friend was sugar free popsicles they saved me from being dehydrated! I had so much trouble getting the 'sipping' tying down.. I started using the tiny coffee stirrer straws and I'm doing good drinking now.

you might want to check with your support team or dr about using the straws -even the tiny ones. we were told to not drink from straws as they add air and that increases the gas and stomach pain. good luck

It's amazing how much we are not centered around food anymore. I sat there last night watching my husband eat dinner I made then an ice cream sandwich then party mix then beef Jerky then another ice cream sandwich and I'm like wow I would have usually ate something every time he did. His metabolism is a lot better then mine and he doesn't really put on the weight. He has a gut that's it. But it just really makes u think about how much my life re was centered around food. Lots of luck to you

      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
