My lesson learned is that no matter how prepared I thought I was for WLS..I did not know anything until I experienced it myself...And I am still learning!!!!!!!!!!!!

I learned just how important Water is. Two weeks of fatigue, pain in my side and back, shoulders that felt like I was carrying weights on each, Constipation, headaches, and a 2-week stall in my weight loss. After my doctor told me I was getting dehydrated and all my symptoms were related to that, I started drinking my Water and 2 or 3 days later all my symptoms were gone and I lost 3 pounds.

If you are out shopping one day, and your tummy starts to rumble, immediately head for the head. Do not let yourself think it will go away in a few minutes.

I've learned to really take my time to eat and to not be distracted while eating. If I don't, I eat too fast or too big of bites and it all comes back up.

I've learned that I need to remind myself to feed the kids and family!

I have literally skipped a meal here and there, then wondered why every one was so cranky!!!! Oh that's right, mommy forgot to feed you! OOOPPPSSS!
