So awhile ago I made a post about a few things: 1. People making me feel bad about having the surgery and 2) having some issues with being really tired after eating. For the update about the first topic: I deleted my instagram and immediately I felt 100 times better and I am back on track of with my weight loss! I started walking again, drinking more Water, and I also have been learning how to avoid the hate comments I tend to get from my family. As for the second one: I see my new doctor on the 6th but I went to an urgent care because I felt really bad and I was told that I could have celiac's disease so I am to keep a journal of everything I eat now and record the reactions. I am also going to finally see my new bariatric surgeon in two weeks! Also, today I am buying a digital scale and some whey protein! ???? I want to say thank you to all the wonderful people who've replied to my post, you all are amazing. ????

Today I walked up to Walmart, which is a good half a mile away from my apartment, and I had subway for dinner. I took about 30 minutes to eat and I waited 15 minutes to drink my tea. No problems, I felt fine that is until my mother came to pick me up around 9:45pm. As soon as I got in the house, I felt like I was going to faint and my whole body felt sore. So I sat down for awhile and stayed awake but around 12:45, I got cravings so I had half a Protein bar and 15 minutes later I had half a Protein shake. Right after finishing my half of the shake, I got that fainting feeling again and I felt extremely tired, more tired than I've ever been. I also feel weak, lightheaded, I have some chest pain and my arms are so sore. Back in Feb to the end of April, I was having a lot of extreme fatigue to the point just walking to the bathroom was making me weak and tired, I slept nearly all day and all night but, now in May, up until now, I was feeling a lot better. I also used to get the extreme fatigue after eating back then but the ER doctor and my doctor never addressed it. I know when I went to the ER back in April for (tmi) constant bloody and loose stools, I was told I have a "small and slow" lower gi bleed that could be causing the weakness and fatigue but they didn't admit me. I have not had any bloody stools since the end of April and I am still waiting to see a gi doctor and waiting to see my new surgeon again (had the surgery in Nebraska in September, left at the end of November to move to Flordia) because he's booked soild. :/ Anyone experience any of this, the fatigue, weakness etc?

I'm 7 1/2 months out, I was told to start walking right away by my surgeon, I was even up and walking in the hallway the following day after surgery. I've been walking all this time but I really wanted to try something to add to it.

Ah, that's good to know! I hate to sound silly but I just really had to ask.

I'm worried that something might come loose or I might damage something.

I dance a bit for fun but I thought it'd be really cool to dance for exercise! I listen to a variety of music like jpop, kpop, jrock, hip hop etc so there's so much I can dance to. I'm just worried about my stomach.

Thank you!

I'm so happy for this, I feel so good! I'm going to celebrate the best way I know how...drinking a decaf coffee! How much weight have you lost so far? [emoji5]

I know I was told by a tattoo artist that I should lose weight before getting any tattoos. :/ living my life like it's healthy

lol I find myself sometimes drinking out of a straw but then I take it out, I'm just so used to it. living my life like it's healthy

Oh, I just did some research: you can fill up a picher with fresh or frozen fruits of your choice and pour Water over it. Let it sit and then drink it. I read that it's really good! living my life like it's healthy

LOL "how you doing". Ahh yeah you're right but these guys just annoy me to no end. I pretty much just blocked all of them. living my life like it's healthy

If you do, please tell me how people reply to your losing weight. I haven't been in high school in four years. living my life like it's healthy

My fb is on private but I just added them because I assumed they just wanted to be friends on fb and not talk to me or w/e but then they send those messages and I just gag. I never dated any of them, so they're not exes. I honestly don't have time for it myself, it just makes me sick and has sort of been happening since 10th grade.

I use great value Water Enhancer. They're usually only five calories and they taste amazing. living my life like it's healthy
