Bodies are weird!! Let’s talk about it...

What changes have you noticed since your surgery? Any fun unexpected surprises?

Bypass: 9/1/17

HW: 262

GW: 160

Kept asking my husband " Give me your hand... feel this". "what the hell is this" It was my new exposed bones that I had not seen or felt in quite some time.

The weight that I held in my face no longer smoothed out the wrinkles and age lines.

I thought all women were an hourglass shape. I found that my bone structure is an inverted triangle. Wide shoulders and narrow hips.

I had made a mattress impression from my high weight. As I shrunk I could no longer sleep comfortable. Bought a new mattress. I was still having back pain...My husband suggested a chiropractor (never been to one) He took X rays. I had to laugh, I had scoliosis and never realized it until I lost weight...

Never thought I'd click "Like" on someone having scoliosis! ((hugs))

That my diet now adds up to only 850 to 1350 calories per day and that I simply peter out a lot earlier.

On top of my seven to eight-and-a-half hours regular sleep, I seem to need a further 1.5 to 2.5 hours of daytime naps.

It's not a negative ... but I do work for 2 to 4 hours four days per week and I have have three evenings where I am locked in to long-term social activity groups.

I try to get a late-morning or post-lunch siesta to maintain my afternoon and evening focus.

I sneeze if I eat too much 😂

Haven't had my surgery yet but my mother had a bypass 14 years ago and to this day if she eats a bit much her nose runs and she sneezes.

I get hiccups and burp from the first bite and runny nose. Also now everything is VERY flavorful (sweet is gross). Eating is a chore vs I used to think about food all the time. Now it's something I have to do.
