The nerves that were severed in your stomach have finally knitted back together. This is why you feel the full restriction now. Mine was about 4 months too. I still have a big restriction {whoop whoop } so I have 5 or 6 tiny meals a day. Otherwise my calories are too low to keep up with my busy new life

Don't be scared, its only liquid you are on. Eat tiny mouthfuls and drink tiny sips. Try not to swallow air with your food and drink. Try warm drinks if cold ones bother your new tummy. It will get better soon

btw - in the long run, it was worth the pain and discomfort. I have a normal-looking body again, and my clothes fit better. I'm very happy with the results!

Just curious, why you had three plastic surgeries? All to remove loose skin? What was the down-time while recovering from surgery? This is what worries me. The pain also lol

Thank you! I’ve been doing the water thing and that helped a lot. I’ll try less more often as well. Are there specific things you notice as being full or is it just any discomfort at all?

I have to agree. I don't think I will ever do the excess skin removal surgery. From what I read, it is more painful and takes longer to recover from compared to WLS. But never say never, right. For now, I will just try to get flattering clothes and adopt your attitude. Tucking my shirts helps which I'm doing now.

I whole heartedly agree. Plus those pop a gummie & lose 20bs in a week without diet or exercise ads too. It was all my fault. The call of late night social media scrolling & believing supposedly honest online reviews from real people.

Good luck all! March 7th. Hopefully we can all come back and share our experiences

I will never understand this bizarre notion people seem to have that an "easy way out" for weight loss is a bad thing even if it did exist. Like... why does it need to be a struggle to be ok? Do we need weight loss to be some epic f***ing crawl across a flaming desert of despair to be acceptable to people who aren't involved? Does my head in. Makes me inclined to answer "my own hard work" when asked how I lost so much weight. It's not anyone's business anyway. Also: you look AMAZING! Seriously. And that top you're wearing is gorgeous on you!
