Updated Pictures of my journey

Hello everyone for those who don’t know I had RXY NOV 28,2017 yesterday was my 4 months surgeversary.. so Happy! If you wondering yes I’m glad I did.. I have had lil to mild complications but right now all that drives me insane is the constipation... but I think something is working out for me.

I’m 5’7 by the way.

I am 2 weeks post op. Things get stuck for me a lot,, which is super painful. I am having A hard time learning to eat slowly. Got any tips? What did you change for "drinking water"?

Stuck...aren’t you in liquid diet? [emoji848] and after liquid they gave us 3-4 weeks of purée .. so nothing gets stuck or hurts your new stomach .. .. what are you eating that you feel stuck?

Tips my first tip is your Protein intake and Water .. if you feel like it’s too heavy add water. I couldn’t swallow my pills .. so I kept drinking Centrum liquid Multivitamin. Biotin ( mandatory) my hair is falling but not as bad as I have heard. I did cut it tho. And pictures take picture .. for your before.. cuz I feel like I havent loose anything .. but when I see my old pics after surgery from month month .. I know that there is some changes. And lots of water. ( a friend of mine got so dehydrated that she lost conscious and hurt herself, she had VSG) drink even when you don’t even want to

About drinking water .. I just learned to not gulp anymore lol .. when I feel like a burp is about to happen I stop.. rest and keep drinking.
