My gastric bypass surgery was August 10, 2015. Its definitely not easy. Some days are easier than others granted, but some days i feel so well blah. Not hungry or thirsty either one The thought of eating or drinking makes me feel sick. i make myself at least drink something and take my Vitamins. Some days i can eat and drink fine as long as its in my Phase 2 diet plan. I have my magic bullet to thank for some of the meals i am able to eat. My food does go down easier now. It used to hurt to eat. not now tho. it doesn't feel exactly good either. But when i look at how my clothes fit me and how my joints don't hurt as much i know this was the right life choice for me.
