LoveMyBypass reacted to butterfyeffect in What Are Some Things You Can't Wait for POST OP?
I can't wait to go shopping in a regular size clothing store and know that anything I see and like, I can try on. I don't have to go searching for the largest size on the rack, and hoping they have it.

LoveMyBypass reacted to NeedaBreak4Me in Getting Called Fat After WLS
I have a little rant about stupid insensitive people who don't know how to keep their mouth shut.
Why do people feel the need to tell you that you are fat...
Its like .... what!!! No way! I never knew i was overweight.. i got my stomach cut off because i thought i was thin! I dieted for years because i was bored! I have spent the last month eating like a mouse because i have nothing better to do!
I had the sleeve 4 weeks ago... and finally it is starting to show physically.. so i was feeling so good about myself.. until BAM!
Some idiot at work felt the need to mention that i was "chubby" and that i am lucky i don't hurt myself.
Mind you i am 5'7" and 216 pounds.. and a size 14... i thought i hold my weight really well.... even my surgeon said i don't look what i weigh...
I just wanted to punch this guy in the face.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Nope you are not the only one... I was not on laxatives but still had that happen to me, I thought I was going to pass gas and well... It wasn't gas... Was not fun! Can't trust the farts!

Yep, exactly. I'm in the bathroom yelling for my 14yr old daughter to find me clean underwear. Luckily I don't embarrass easily, but it is not fun in the least. Gonna give it the weekend and then call my doctor if it's no better. -

These are my goal jeans. I have them where I can see them in my room. Size 11. I know I will make it beyond this, but right now, this is my goal. I looked damn good in these jeans once upon a time. It's just a small sacrifice in exchange for a healthy life.

I want to give a shout out to all of us with surgery this week...we are awesome! We are making it through a holiday eating nothing! I am so proud of us. Just think ahead to the 4th of July and where we will be size wise and what we can eat.
I was able to get all my Protein in and liquid. I went to the pool with my kids and got some sun on my face...of course I didn't dare get in. I am feeling pretty good. I have a follow up with my doc Tuesday and hopefully will be cleared to go back to work! @@Lana R I hope you get to feeling better. Maybe try a different temperatures for your liquid. I love Water but since surgery it doesn't like me.

I took the smallest morsel of brownie into my mouth and it really didn't taste good.

@@sarahb309 I have been feeling the exact same way so this morning I made sure to get my Protein in by adding the nectar to my crystal light and that really did help with the loss of energy, but I still struggled with the thoughts of food. My NUT only allows Clear Liquids the first two weeks so I am struggling a bit. I actually broke down and licked a couple BBQ chips today which i am not proud of, but I did it and just being honest. It actually helped with my craving because I was tired of the bland taste in my mouth. Although i did lick the chip that is as far as I will go because I dont want to sabatoge my new way of life. Hang in there dear, we will make it!!!

I have been feeling that way to. It is a holiday weekend, people are grilling and the pool opened. I have been pretty mobile so I went and walked around the mall....I am now not just dreaming of what I am going to wear I can see a goal in site. That has made it so much easier for me today. We only have a few weeks where we will feel like this and when we can eat real food we will feel better. Hang in there @@sarahb309 we are going to look fabulous soon!

LoveMyBypass reacted to sarahb309 in May 24 Surgery Day
I am extremely grateful for this opportunity, but I can't help but notice feeling regret right now... I have been extremely weak and tired and essentially house bound... You don't notice how much revolves around food until you can do that stuff any more... Any advice or words of encouragement?

So glad that it helped. My NUT Said everything has to be thinned out at this point. I had 2 oz of Greek yogurt thinned out with milk and added Protein powder for Breakfast. It took me 45 min to eat it, but it was delish and settled well. one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Glad to hear it! I am also not supposed to use a straw. That kind of bugs me, cuz I LOVE straws. I've been trying to stay away from them, must admit, I've still been using 1 or 2 a day. Hasn't bothered me, so I figure if that is the worst "cheating" I do, I'm still pretty good! -

Has anyone else dealt with dizziness, and severe lightheadedness? Like enough where you actually feel like your going to pass out and the room spins?
