I think the bigger issue here is that you have eaten chicken and chocolate. Practicing self control is going to go a long way with your success. In addition, now is not the time to test things. That one piece of chocolate could have sent you over the edge and made you ill for hours or even all day. You stomach needs time to heal, a tiny little shred of chicken could get caught on a stitch or staple and cause major problems, like infection. The 30 minute rule is so that you are not "full" of fluids when you try to eat and actually have room for the food. The 30 minutes after is to allow the food to stay in your system long enough for your body to absorb it's nutrients,a s the water will push it through your system faster. Not the end of the world if your forget sometimes but it may make you sick when you start more solid foods. Refocus, you can do it.

i dont think it is fair to cast your own opinion or feeling of contentness onto her.. both of you have different outlooks and thats okay - you shouldnt shame her for it.

Thank you! I get why people leave. After a while there’s not much more to say (unless you have a complication) but I stick around to keep myself honest. I update my weight every single time it fluctuates.

I’m certainly glad you’re still about @GreenTealael & your very wise advice. ❤️

various colors of poop is not unusual the first month or so after surgery. Fat malabsorption, iron supplements, some residual blood from the surgery - this can all affect it. If you're worried, call your clinic - but I personally wouldn't worry about it too much unless it continues after the first month or so.

That's awesome! I haven't bought any new clothes yet. Thanks to the oversized clothes trend I've been wearing my men's 2x shirt like a dress lol. I'm sooo excited to hopefully be able to buy from the 'straight size' section in stores! In women's sizes I'm a 1x, which is in most stores but my goal is to be a medium/large. It has to feel amazing to be able to just walk into a store & KNOW everything there is an option

I was definitely grateful to have the coverage from the body shaper! It could have been so much worse!!!

I love this! I never thought about it that way, but it's a great motivator!

Always verify with your doc, but I'd imagine during your surgery some blood very likely got into your system and it's got to come out some way. If it persists or you just feel something is off, call your doc and ask.

Poop is brown, why be worried? What exactly are you thinking? Blood? You poop would be BLACK and like tar if you had blood in it. It would be very obvious something is not normal.
