Worked my sleeve over the holidays..

So I am over a month out. I went to see family for Christmas and I was really worried! My mom plans every meal and is a true cookie pusher.

 

I didn't want to tell my family about my surgery (too judgmental and harsh) so I told them I was on a strict diet.

 

I did really great, I was really surprised! I nibbled at each meal and fed the baby when I needed a diversion. I got my protein first and then had a dessert about a half hour later if I wanted it. Some people commented "aren't you going to finish that" or "are you not hungry" but I just shrugged them off.

 

So when did I have issues? Twice! We went to eat Mexican (my FAVORITE) and I ordered tacos, knowing I would only eat one...my husband didn't feel like sharing that night. I only ate one and 2 chips, but I ate WAY too fast. All of a sudden - slimes! I had to rush to the bathroom to spit out all of the saliva. I felt better after about 5-10 minutes though.

 

Second time, we were at the airport hotel just me and my husband. He ordered take out and I had some. Again, too fast and I got sick. I didn't so much vomit as it just came up - it was really odd but I had read about it before so I wasn't shocked.

 

I lost 4 pounds over the holidays. I am getting used to the sleeve and actually starting to like it. Before now (on liquids and mushies) I was feeling some regret. I just felt like why did I do this and what was I thinking and that I'd never eat again!

 

Now I am understanding to eat as slowly as I can. I understand what a portion size looks like. My husband is finally catching on too - lol - he bought me some food that was just a HUGE amount last week.

 

My baby started walking and saying a few words. He gives high-fives and points to different things, he dances and is just so cute! We had a really really difficult time having a baby and I feel so happy that we had him here, thriving, at Christmastime. I have more and more energy every day to play with him. I know it will only get better.:thumbup:

That's so wonderful. You did great through the holidays. I understand about the "creeper" food coming back up. It's not a normal vomitting episode, it's just such a weird sensation.

Hope you have a good New Year ! ! !

You are doing GREAT! Thanks for sharing your stories. I could cry when I read about you feeling some regret earlier. That is where I am and I am so struggling with feelings of cravings. I am so happy to read your blog! And yay to your little one! Little ones are so good for the soul!
