2 month update
Apr 18, 2010
I am steadily losing weight, though it is slower than most folks on here. I can tell the difference in my face and my clothes. I started at a tight 22 (refused to buy 24 but needed to!) and am wearing my 20's quite comfortably. I also am ready to give my 2X uniforms away and am wearing my XL that I've had for a few years. I feel great! The first few weeks when I started on solids (soft foods) it was difficult to know how much you REALLY need to chew and I threw up a few times . It is nothing like vomiting pre op. There's no gut wrenching, toe curling hurl...you just "get rid of it". You'll know when you aren't going to keep something down because you get a sharp, wavelike pain in your stomach and you keep swallowing saliva. Eventually you learn that when it happens it's just better to hurl then to try and keep from hurling. I haven't done that since the second week though and tolerate absolutely everything now. It's a learning process and I am reading as much as I can.
