Hi Everybody!
Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm so glad I found this site! My name is Shelbi, I am a mother, wife, and photographer. I have three beautiful little girls, and an amazingly supportive husband!
I am 15 days post surgery. It has definitely been a roller coaster ride. Most days I think to myself "what have I done!?!?" Thank God the scale is going down because this has been so tough!
My highest weight was 305, I weighed 287 the day of surgery, after one week of the liquid pre-op diet. As of today I was 268, yay! I am 4lbs from what I weighed when I got married 3 years ago! One set of twins and another little one within 3 years really did a number on my body, and weight! I all but gave up that I would ever lose anything. I can't wait to see how well this is going to work for me!
Today starts week three for me and I am supposed to start trying soft mushy foods, and really soft cooked foods. One of the things on my list was thinly sliced lunch meat such as turkey or chicken. I ate one piece, chewed chewed chewed until it was mush and I thought it went really well. Then about 5 minutes later I had to go throw it up. I know I am still very early out but PLEASE someone tell me this will get better! Will I ever be able to eat again, like a meal with my family? I realize it will be a very small meal, but not being able to eat even a really small slice of turkey meat seems really scary!
Anyway, I'm happy to find this site, I hope its helpful in my journey, and I hope I can meet lots of new people going through this journey as well, so I don't feel so alone!
