I had my surgery on Nov. 13, 2017 So far I have lost 15 lbs. It would be nice to bounce thing off of someone who has gone through the surgery a few months a head of me.

Hi Biddynz, Of course you can. I'm not sure I can describe it. At this point I don't eat until uncomfortable but it was definitely a learning curve for me. I have slowed down, I think that was the biggest thing that helped me. I seem to lose interest in the food before I get full at this point. I think in the beginning you want to eat like normal. When I overdid it I would get that sick feeling and it would feel like the food wasn't going to go down. I can't handle that sick nauseated feeling so I think that has slowed me down and I'm more conscious of chewing my food well. I think it gets easier the further you get away from surgery.

Hi Ruby, I haven't had any trouble eating, the hardest thing for me is being able to tell when to stop before I get to full! The last couple of weeks it has gotten better for me. How about you? I seem to be at a stall right now the weight loss has been slow, I definitely indulged over the Holiday.

Hi Ruby, Thanks so much for your response! I'm now down 26 pds I've been stalling a bit. I'm having a hard time getting enough calories in. I'm pretty sensitive to a lot of foods at this point and they still want me eating soft foods for another month. I am taking the Ursodiol to avoid gallstones. One of the side effects is food sensitivity and nausea. Have you experienced this?
