    I weighed in at 196 this weekend! Life is good! I can barely eat anything, I’m losing weight so fast, I’m a pound per day basically. How long does this initial weight loss last?

    You are a monster! Amazing job. My stats are approximately the same as yours but it took me a year. Although, I cant say that ive been perfect like you though.

    I'm doing great. I'm still on modified liquids with no problems. I have struggled a bit to get all my protein in (I just can't seem to fit 2 protein shakes in with my "meals") but I've hit twice and think I've figured it out. I've had no issues getting water in even on day 1. I haven't tried anything not specifically allowed by my surgeon in this phase. I expect he'll release me to stage 3 Wednesday and I am beyond excited for tuna fish (how sad )

    Hey 👋 Your stomach capacity may change over time. So the first 6 months may feel different from the next 6, etc etc Ah to be young and in love...You and your GF don't have to be on the same diet, but you do have to stick to yours. DO NOT switch to her diet unless your Surgeon agrees. So this is a where real life sneaks up on you and sadly can't always meal prep... When eating out, I ALWAYS ask for the plainest preparation possible (burgers: everything on the side no sauces, chinese food: just the meat and VEGETABLES- you knew that was coming 😅, mexican: no rice,chips or extra sauces & cheeses, etc.) This way i can try to estimate the cals in the food easier The hair loss is called Telogen Effluvium, consult- Dr. Google Body Dysmorphia likely will stick around maybe therapeutic treatment exist but I find photos help immensely because you can actually compare the differences Good Luck💚

    Girlfriend. You've just described a slippery slope. You are seeking it preferentially. And it's lighting up your brain like heroine. When a food does that to me, I flag it and red light it.

    Am I losing my mind...

    Treading lightly here because I don't know where you stand culturally\religiously BUT If I'm being honest the things I highlighted leap out to me as very controlling. Now that control is being lost you may begin to see a whole host of issues arise- none of which are your fault or can be fixed by you. My advice is to carefully and calmly watch while continuing on your path of health and happiness. The rest will end up as it should. Good Luck 💚

    Aversion to smells

    I had my bypass 6 days ago and a surprise hernia repair. I’m healing nicely but have some constant low-level nausea. Now things like scented candles, my shampoo, dryer sheets, etc. are bothering me. I also get these phantom smells - where’s that cinnamon coming from?? It’s weird! Anyone relate?
