onmyway180

I'm wondering if anyone is getting the same feedback as me? Some of my family members and some of my friends all tell me I don't know why you had it done, you look just fine the way you were. They are all thin and some of them I might add sometimes made me feel uncomfortable because of their comments of what I ate when I was 245.

Thank you The first night was difficult cause I couldn't take the morphine and I couldn't drink anything. But if your ok with the morphine then you'll be ok. Diet right.now is full liquids protein shakes cream soups lots of water. Its easy just be strong and ignore the head hunger remind yourself it's all in your head but otherwise you will see the weight.come off and you will find yourself smiling in the mirror Good Luck!! Keep me posted.: )

I'm 9 days post op and I've already lost 18 lbs. Is this too quick? I weighed 235 and now weigh 217.

Thanks Beth that's great info I'm going to share when they start with their criticism.

Exactly! !!!!! That's what I tell everyone I didn't do this for my Jean size and cause I want to be showing off. ..I did this cause I want to be able to be there for my husband, my kids and any future grandkids.

Thank you both. I wish you both luck. I think I will do that just smile and say excuse me and walk off.

They tried to do the something with me . My doctor had my file for four years cause I let everyone talk me out of it. Till finally I said I'm doing this for me and I had it done. My only regret is that I didn't have it four years ago. I just hate the dumb comments they give me now. Like if you have to be on a liquid diet then maybe you should of done that a long time ago without paying money to have the surgery.

I weighed 245 before I began my journey. During my pre op diet I lost 7 lbs. October 16th weighing 238. The surgery went very well. I was very very scared but was well taken care of. The first night was terrible I didn't like the way the morphine made me feel so I didn't want to take it and I couldn't drink the.liquid pain med. I went through the night in a lot of pain and with the.feeling like I was being crushed on the.inside. my nurse was awesome she.came in every 15 mins to make sure I was ok. She held my hand and said for me to.focus on the future. She was my rock that.night and I made it. Afterwards it went really well and now I'm on day 9 post op no complains except for head hunger. Lost 18 lbs so.far post op 25 total from the.beginning. The.only thing that scares me is how my body will look but we will see.

it wouldn't stop adding my thread lol thanks for the response I was just getting worried.
