Sorry for the delay in response, the taste is a little off for me now, but i just add more water to drown out the taste i dont care for right now.

This is the toughest stage, i went through the same thing keep doing what is working for you, as your tummy heals it will allow more to enter it. Some days i thought i was dying of hunger, but i am 33days in now and doing well. My tummy tells me really quickly what i will and will not eat again and how fast i will andwill not eat. This journey will be a lifetime journey. Enjoy the ride to reach back she share with other coming behind you. Starting weight after 3 month waiting period 270lbs my weight now is 244lbs. My medical issues are getting better everyday. Hang in there and when your not sure of something of course check with you medical team and you can always reach out to us. Surgery date was 2/20/2019.

Good luck!

Best of luck,you will be fine it wasthe best decision i made.

Follow up apt i am down 37lbs now and it feels so good! I am not going to pull out any small clothes until my 3 month check in in June. It will be here sooner then later.

I did get the extra time off and i am glad i did. Knowing how much you can eat is different with each meal you eat. I am glad i have the extra time to explore.

Outstanding!!!

Praying for you today and look forward to sharing your journey as we move to a better life Thank you, i hope you are doing much better.

The 27 lbs down is from my first day walking into the clinic for my first consultation 9/19/2018 to 3/3/2019. My starting weight was 283 9/19/2019 and my weight this morning 3/3/2019 is 254. i have a positive LOSS of 29lbs. YAY!!

Praying for you today and look forward to sharing your journey as we move to a better life Thank you! Surgery day has come and gone, i am home from the hospital here is what it was like for me: Surgery day and after: Surgery 2/20/2019 I never got scared as i got close to surgery time and even when they wheeled me in and put me to sleep i was not, i think my will to be healed from so many medical issues was stronger then the surgery. In recovery: I remember i was not talking much all they got out of me was a head nod i was not i a talkative mood. After recovery: i really dont remember the ride lol. My family was waiting for me and even then i did not have much to say even though i heard everything that was being spoken. After about an hour in my room i then started speaking. My belly hurt, i got meds for that, i never got nauseated in the hospital and i drinked my water like a trooper. Well i dunked the four small cups thats all. The next night, i understood why i was a trooper my belly was still full of medicine so i was not sensing that i was full. Oh, baby, but, the next day everything changed!!! It was hard getting that water down. The next day i did not want to walk either. The Nurses on the floor did not make me walk as well. I got the will yo walk on my own. I started having feelings that i was getting a cold. They had to give me meds for it. My doctor was a little annoyed thinking i was sick when i got there and i told him i was not. He told me his OR was cleaner then my house....(i will address that with him in time). When i got home after two days the cold symptoms were gone. It seemed like it was something my body was reacting to maybe my internal fear.... Home: i had a tough time getting water and meal shake down. All my liquid preparing made me sick to look at it. The pre packaged protein shakes made me sick to taste and to look at and the power shakes just the same. Now all of these things i loved prior to the surgery date. I could not get the water down, my BP was low low and my urine was dark. I had to figure out what to do with out having someone rush me back to the hospital...I got my BP some by adding salt to my popsicle. I starting drinking water omitting the protein shake since my water hd 20 grams of protein in it. I never called the doctor because i did not want to renter the hospital. Let me digress, dumping is real, when i was trying to get my protein and water in before the shakes turned my tummy upside down with a thought i had a dumping episode. It was horrible and it lasted over four hours. I have been drinking this protein water which had 20 grams of protein in it and i feel better. I am down 10lbs and my BP is better. I see non scale loss as well. My two week follow ip is in two days 3/5/2019 and my soft starts 3/7/2019. I feel good today. I am scheduled to return to work on the 14 if March, but as a supervisor i am afraid i will go back to old habits if managing my agents and moving about the office and lose track if my water intake. I am trying to this of how to explain this to my Doctor Tuesday for him to request me to be off an extra week. Today: I burp alllllll the time. Oh, i forgot to tell you i did not even like the smell of the chewable vitamins anymore yuk yuk. Health changes: my left side of my leg swelling is GONE! I have walked around the house with heals on and i have not been able to wear real shoes i 3 1/2 years!!! I am super excited about this change. Well i hope all of this makes sense. Best decision Imade for me! I can see change in my face. I will take a body shot at my Doctors office on 3/5/2019 and post.

Praying for you today and look forward to sharing your journey as we move to a better life Thank you!
