I traveled for the first time since surgery last week and I didn't experience that. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs). Current weight: 158.4 lbs My profile picture is not me. It's my "FITspiration" body.

Thank you. I'm so mind-blown about how little I can eat & to see how much I used to be able to eat. I'm losing a lot faster than I expected, but that's a good thing. I hope all is well for you too with the weight loss surgery. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).

I'm 3 months post-op too. I can only consume 2 to 3 1/2 ounces of protein in one siting. I get full very easily in just 3 or 4 bites? I can't eat a whole egg (scrambled). So food-wise I'm still consuming small. But what I am happy about is that I can gulp my water & iced tea. I'm more thirsty than hungry now. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

WLS is a tool & everything after that is mental (for me). It takes discipline to have successful results & not go back to old habits. You should see a therapist before surgery, then you can be more prepared. Good luck. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

I got tired of protein drinks after, altogether, 6 weeks of liquids only & having them 3-4 times a day. This week I'm 2 months post op & ever since I was allowed to eat regular food, I've had eggs for breakfast everyday & a lot of variations (vegetable & protein scrambled, hard boiled, over easy, etc...) I'm sick of eggs now. To the point where I just don't finish my breakfast anymore. What do you have for breakfast besides protein drinks & eggs? P.S. before surgery I never ate breakfast, I'm not a breakfast person. I just made my coffee & go. Now that I'm post op, it's crucial for me to have breakfast & I lost my taste for coffee [emoji853] Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

My experience with carbonated beverages: I can take a sip of my fiancé's soda & be fine. I even had 4 oz of a root beer float. Both occasions I was fine because my stomach was empty. One time after I ate, I had a sip of my fiancé's soda & I ran to the bathroom & threw up. The carbonation made the food come up for whatever reason. So, for me, carbonation is okay with an empty stomach. But I don't consume much just 2 to 4 fluid oz. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

It's happened to me when I first started eating solids. My stomach would hurt, I threw up, and needed to lie down. I was told it was dumping syndrome because I ate too fast or maybe the food I ate had too much of something in it (sugar? Salt? ....). Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

I agree. I was focusing on studies, work, walking, & socializing better (like without food & alcohol). Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

My info is in my signature. I'm 3 months post-op & 20 lbs away from my goal. For me, I responded fast & had no major health conditions getting into surgery. I was just obese. I also had less than 100 lbs to lose. I walk 5 days a week & have a physical job. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

I had that maybe my 1st week. My nutritionist said I had to up my protein to 60-80 grams to help me feel more full. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

If I lived in South Florida, I'd so be your friend! I know this is cliche but I do believe true love happens when you least expect it. My fiancé found me 12 years ago when I didn't give a rat's a$$ about love. I think when you live life for the moment, things will just fit. I never done online dating but for me, I'm way too "old school". I've met people online (for friendship) & from my experience, people aren't always what they "post" to be. I couldn't do online dating if it were an option, but that's just me. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).

I never heard of this card. When I go out to eat with my fiancé, we split his plate & now going out is cheaper. LOL. I like having left overs too since I barely have time to cook.

For me, I was fed up with being obese. I am already healthy so the surgery was for prevention. But of course vanity is part of it too. I wasn't always obese, only the past 9 years, I missed my old sexy self & I want to look hot for my man too & not cover up during sex since I was so insecure being big.

I'll be 46 years old in 15 years. My goal is to have financial security, have 2 kids, & feel I haven't missed out on anything. Just happy & healthy with my man & kids.

I was emotional the first month post-op. A lot of emotions from "regret" (because of the pain) & missing food (4-weeks post op liquids only). It's passed fully after the 2nd month and I feel better than ever now. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).

It depend on your body and what your dietitian says to you. For me I can't consume much at all because carbs are a no-no for me. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

I've read on the boards (not my experience) that when you work out a lot & don't consume enough protein & calories, your body stalls because it's like being in "starvation mode".

I weigh myself once a week, Sunday mornings. The reason why I gained weight before is because I didn't own a scale & didn't keep track of my habits. I find myself being more conscious (weighing weekly, weighing my food every time I eat, tracking my bowel movements, etc...) has helped me greatly loose these first 50 lbs post WLS.

I bring food I don't need to make like: Sandwich meat, hard boiled eggs (prepared days before), cheese, tuna from a can, & sometimes order cheese burgers when I don't have food to bring, just remove the bread.

After surgery I was on liquids only for 4 weeks. Week 5: Puree. Week 6: soft foods. Week 7 to rest of my life: Regular healthier foods. Minimal carbs, small portions. I've lost 50 lbs so far & only in 2 1/2 months post op. The miserable phases are worth it. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.
