Hi OH Family :)

Whats weird things do you have going on with your body now that youre PostOp? Me personally my belly is always talking. When I'm hungry, when I'm not hungry, when I finish eating. And its so funny because people are always like "Tennille eat something." So what are your new and weird body issues. I gotta be honest though...I wouldnt trade my belly singing for the 73lbs I've lost PERIOD.

lol

Yeah my stomach sounds like world war 3 is going on sometimes. The wierdest part is there is no discomfort at all, just noise. As far as other things going on, I fart like crazy now!

lol w/ the farts. I know of people who have that problem! Do they smell? The one girlie I know who has that problems has odorless farts which I thought were urban legends but I know we've been in an elevator together and absolutely  nothing lol

my tummy also talks. but not that bad. the most extrange thing has happened is that i`m not aware yet of my body.

1.-when I have to go trough a tiny space  like between tables in a restaurants I think i wont fit and i go the long way. but lately i`m trying to go trough that kindda spaces and I definetely fit haha. so I can  now follow my friends when we leave a restaurant or a bar. is weird.

2.-also now i have the need to croos my legs everytime I sitdown. bf that I was not confortable doing it. mm what else.

3.-My food taste changed.

My tummy talks to. for some reason it seems louder then pre-op.

I have a ghost butt. like mariana was talking about. I feel like things are going to touch too when i squeeze through small places but they don't.

My tastes have changed. Some spicy thing I didn't used to be able to eat now I can but then other things I used to be able to eat the spices have become more prominent and I don't like them anymore. it's weird.

I also hiccup really loud. My grandma used to hiccup like that when she was alive now I do it. Its my full signal.

I sit squished together as much as I can. with my knees up or legs crossed or pretzel style. its become my new thing I didn't used to.

a little venting... does anyone else get advice from family and friends about what you should eat after surgery when they don't know what you should eat??? but they think they know and they act like they know whats right and give advice on it or tell you not to eat something or form it into a question? My family and friends do that a lot or they get annoyed when we are trying to go out to eat and I tell them to pick somewhere and they say I don't know what to pick because I don't know where you can eat... Its really frustrating to me. Sorry about that.

For sure. I'm not a horrible eater! I'm really good on veggies and protein...and I cant really do much carbs but when I do its normally like a 150calorie bag of chips that I won't finish. Well one of my coworkers saw me going to get one and she snapped at me. Like "What was the purpose of having the surgery? Dont come looking for me if you fall out and start twitching!"....over a bag of chips? I just smiled and popped one into my mouth and walked off. What a *****! Its one damn bag of chips that I cant finish anyway!

I also do the pretezel sitting. Right now as I type, I am indian style...something I havent been able to do since I was 16 maybe??? I'm 27 HOMIE!

lol

But the hiccup thing? Awesome signal...completely awesome signal! lol

 I'm a total belly talker....sad thing it happens during when I give lessons and my kids just stare at me like I either farted or there is something really wrong with me.  

I am amazed by my clavicals and wrist bones that now stick out more than before.   I am also amazed that my rings are super loose.
