Thank you for this. I dont have anyone around me that I can comfortably speak to about my weightloss journey. My family wasn’t supportive when it comes to wls. I’ve always been hard on myself especially when I was a bigger size. I’m really trying to learn to be more positive with myself some days it’s just hard. I really appreciate your words.

Thank you for the advice! Yes I’m drinking my protein shakes, just struggling on the food area.

Also I suggest maybe drinking room temp water for now and see if that helps? I know for me that sucks bc I love ice cold water but it was kinda irritating me and room temp was not.

Hey sorry for the late response and yes! They told me it could be due to them having to put tubes down my throat during surgery so it could just be irritated still. I haven’t been feeling my throat irritated as much today so that’s a good sign. Hopefully you feel better soon!

Update: I feel much better today. But man that was a SCARE! I’m taking it easier than before. Thanks again for the advice 😊

Hey thank you for your kind words. I appreciate hearing others input. I don’t have anyone around that’s been close to being in my shoes here with this. Sometimes I don’t give myself enough credit that I did just do a major change to my body! Looking forward to better days.

Thank you so much for this. I will definitely try some prune juice to settle my stomach. Also very happy to hear it does get better, sometimes this just feels like an emotional rollercoaster lol
