This is the toughest stage, i went through the same thing keep doing what is working for you, as your tummy heals it will allow more to enter it. Some days i thought i was dying of hunger, but i am 33days in now and doing well. My tummy tells me really quickly what i will and will not eat again and how fast i will andwill not eat. This journey will be a lifetime journey. Enjoy the ride to reach back she share with other coming behind you.

Starting weight after 3 month waiting period 270lbs my weight now is 244lbs. My medical issues are getting better everyday.

Hang in there and when your not sure of something of course check with you medical team and you can always reach out to us. Surgery date was 2/20/2019.

I am going on 3 weeks. No one explained how much my endocrine system would be impacted and as a result the hormones, mood swings. I had soaking sweats, and was chilled to the bone!! Dealing with the pain, post surgery yuck, sleep patterns all askew, i was a mess!! Im a fairly logical person and my body's physical response really has thrown me.

i also had major alterations in my taste buds and smell. Everything smelled and ta sted bad. My Dr and medical staff have helped. Using some medication help forh sleep and emotional wellness has been a stabilizing factor, not a crutch. I can appro ach my nutrtional needs sooooo much better

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
