Step back to intro myself...
My first posts were looking for help which I am grateful I received. I'd like to introduce myself now.
I am one of those living a lie. I'm always acting like my 300+ lbs does not bother me. I am just happy to be alive and relatively healthy. While in private I have cried and just been miserable. I started seriously considering the surgery after difficulty getting pregnant. I've been married 9 years. I wanted children more than a husband.
I have been reading the forum and have found comfort in your posts. I also had problems with the protein shakes and powder. I just could not get them down. I found that my family did not seem to understand that at all. They seemed to think I was being a baby and should be able to get it down. I understand to them it seemed like such a small amount to deal with.
I am now 15 days post-op (Gastric bypass-lap). I am so thrilled with mashed potatoes and cream of broccoli and potato soup. Sugar free popsicles are just a little ray of sunshine. I have my 2 week follow-up on Friday. I do not know how much I have lost. I can't wait. I can see it falling off. I am walking most days on the treadmill. I walk outside on the other days. I don't get hungry which is new for me. Most of my day used to be focused on where to go to lunch at work.
I look forward to reading more. I hope to help others as you have helped me.
