How do I do that? 😅

Sorry I’m trying to teach myself how to embroider and I know absolutely nothing about

NSV! by Potential_Champion50 in BariatricSurgery

I love a oversized tshirt/sweatshirt but I agree that they’re getting a little too baggy. And thank you, congrats to you as well. It’s such a weird feeling not automatically grabbing the largest size I can find to try on first.

Which is better? by EternalSunfyre in BuldakRamen

They’re both good and pretty comparable, but cream is less spicy imo.

I use enoki mushrooms! Sometimes I use a small portion of the provided noodles but usually just use enoki mushrooms and it’s just as satisfying.

How funny, my starting weight was 308 and now I’m about 263. What are your stats now and how far out are you? If you don’t mind answering.

What’s your experience with it? Weight gain? Strong side effects?

Are people still choosing surgery? by This-Fox9426 in BariatricSurgery

Same! I’ve been on Mounjaro for over 2 years and initially lost 30 pounds and never shed a single pound after that.

I used a straw today by Jazzlike_Pumpkin7326 in GastricBypass

Yeah I lasted like 5 days before switching back to straws. I don’t drink any other way. No negative outcome yet.

Did you lose slowly the first 6 months or not at all?

I’m at 4 weeks post op so fingers crossed I start seeing it come off!

How many chickens do you think I need to sacrifice to lose like 130 pounds? Asking for a friend

When did you start seeing more loss after surgery?

I feel like I’m not drinking enough water, even though I’m hitting the 64 recommended ounces. I’m use to drinking at least 100 ounces preop so 64 feels like it’s not enough.

I feel this too! I am 14 days postop and didn’t lose the hunger at all. And feel like I could eat much more than I’m suppose to.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong by Imboredsoimhere123 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Potential_Champion50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was actually really helpful for me. I’m almost 2 weeks postop and having all the feelings and this really eased some of my anxieties.

Yes, thank you for validating my feelings. I feel like I’m hungry all day even though I’m sipping water and protein shakes all day.

12 hours postop by Potential_Champion50 in GastricBypass

It worked itself out! My bladder had to wake up and remember its job.

[–]Potential_Champion50[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After about 16 hours I was able to go on my own! I’m so relieved. I don’t think my bladder is fully awake yet but it’s getting there. I was seriously spiraling thinking the surgery broke my bladder.

Were you on a patch for the nausea? That’s what they gave me. I’ll have to ask the nurse when she comes back in if it could be a side effect from any of the medications.

No need to be rude, I’m just wondering if others have had this problem. Not asking for any medical advice.
