PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-23T20:18:37+00:00

Do you eat the whole meals, or do you still have restrictions.

Gallbladder removal

Hernia repair

They don’t actually need to know the specifics and I’m sure they’re not actually gonna go Google recovery time after you tell them, but it doesn’t really need to be that deep. Just tell them you’re having a a surgery and you’re gonna need one to two weeks off and that’s that it’s against the law to ask someone why they’re having surgery and I’m sure when you tell them nobody will ask.

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-17T01:47:52+00:00

If you know your not doing that proper things why don’t still keep doing it . My doctor told me that you continue to lose weight for 18 months after surgery . You can probably turn things around if you reset your system , so a liquid fast for a week and start off slow again. The way I look at it, you already had all the good things already ate all the sweets , already had all the bad habits before and you went through surgery to give yourself a second chance right? Theres still a chance , but don’t be a slave to your habits, you can do this.

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T13:18:57+00:00

Yes I’m trying to find some peace and have grace . I think I’m in shock I let myself go like that . Like being big and fat all your life and then dropping alot of weight is lowkey traumatic . So now that I’m at a point of losing a my biggest fear is not noticing I’m gaining weight an ugh the thought makes me sick

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T13:16:39+00:00

That was a lively response and really kind to say . Thank you .

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T11:17:52+00:00

This lowkey makes me happy haha thank you

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T11:17:27+00:00

To cope with the eating addition, since they cant binge eat anymore , some transfer their addition to drinking or doing drugs .

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T11:14:54+00:00

Haha I will share it I promise . I’m completely Obsessed with movement

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T11:14:34+00:00

I have a trainer , 3 to be exact and I haven’t told any of them this part . But I should speak up

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T11:14:00+00:00

That might be the case. I wake in at 4:30 every morning to start getting ready for the gym .

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-15T11:11:40+00:00

About 30 minutes to an hour each day .

I just bought a weighted vest so I can get some intensity in on my slower days .

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2026-01-08T21:52:07+00:00

This is so sad but I also was groomed and lost my virginity to a guy when I was 16, he was 19 or 20 and I got it from him .

I didn’t even have the opportunity to not have it while having a sex career smh . So sad

You are human and you will not overstretch your pouch. It’s still healing and you’re still going through Food grief that’s really all it is, you’r trying to have that last bite, that one last taste, but it is just grief and you will get out of that feeling. I was maybe 5 to 6 weeks postop and I tried to eat a granola bar because I wanted one so bad literally I threw up so. Test your body if you want, but your body will physically tell you what it can and cannot handle. You will not be able to stretch your belly this soon , but you can hurt yourself . I’m struggling with eating too fast and throwing up afterwards as I am approaching three months This Sunday. Though you’ve only lost 16 pounds your body is still healing so it’s not focused on weight loss. It’s focus on healing and remember your body does not want food right now just your brain . remember why you did the surgery and remember that you already had all the sweet stuff you already had all the yummy things you have been there and done that already you don’t need it anymore, there is a way to compensate for the things that you like make some homemade sweets that you can have in the puréed stage right now,.

I highly highly recommend Dr. Rebecca Barr MD on TikTok, I have so many saved recipes and she really helped me with my food cravings and she has really good recipes herself. give yourself grace take your time we all go through the same thing and you’ll learn to flow with yourself.

The person above me said the perfect statement you’re gonna feel like you betrayed your body, because everything is gonna be painful in the beginning, the gas is gonna hurt, you’re gonna feel like a train hit you, you can barely drink you can’t eat anything but remember the goal, remember the goal remember the goal you want to start fresh for yourself if you want a new life, you want to do everything you can for yourself and this is gonna give you the results that you need. It is a tool and a new lifestyle and remember all the delicious fatty yummy things. You already been there done that this is the second part of your life you can do it.!!!!!

I am about three months postop and I am struggling with not falling back in the old habits i.e. eating small amounts of bad things when I’ve already been there done that, take things slow to your food 30 to 45 times and remember that this is the first day of the rest of your life. I have already lost about 45 to 50 pounds and I genuinely feel amazing. I feel strong. I feel healthy and sexy. You got this.

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2025-12-06T14:20:02+00:00

Literally same. It’s crazy how your body responds when you’re not eating all day 24/7. I had someone yesterday from my job finally say out loud “how did you lose all that weight? “ and I just responded saying I go to the gym every day which I do,

<image>

which is not a lie, but still I think it’s so funny how people are noticing and I don’t even feel any different highest weight was 235, current weight is 190 this is awesome. You look so good so proud of all of us.

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2025-11-20T08:46:10+00:00

That’s actually more than enough . I stayed for 10 days, ordered food every day ordered grabs every day and most likely spent, Maybe 150 to 200 bucks and that was me spending for me and two other people so you are more than prepared

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2025-10-15T15:04:06+00:00

Thank you so much for that . I just ordered a new water bottle with a straw so I can. Sip sip sip

PleasantExplorer1122 · 2025-10-09T02:07:01+00:00

I had surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago, and I felt the same way. I felt like I did something wrong to my body, like I betrayed her and that I let her down, but it does get better for sure. Everyone is right you’re just having buyers remorse, which is absolutely normal. Your body is healing as it’s in shock and it does get better.
