I'm almost two months and can barely eat anything either. Not only that, it hurts to eat! After one bite ( which is small and I chew to bits) I immediately feel full and get that pain in my throat and between my breasts. I literally have to force myself to eat. My doctor told me itstill might be spasms to try a low dose of Valium, but I really don't want to be on meds...anyone else have this problem?

I was sleeved a little over a month ago, July 18, and am down 30 pounds, I am right at 200 lbs. Clothes are falling off and I am definitely looking better. My problem is, I miss food! I can't find anything that doesn't hurt, even though I chew it beyond recognition, and I just don't enjoy eating. Also, it takes me so long to eat everything is cold after the first two bites. I manage to choke down a shake in the morning but I can only manage 2 Oz. Of food one for lunch and 2 Oz. At dinner. I became overweight because food, going out to eat, and just sitting around the table talking with my family was my biggest sense of enjoyment. I don't ever want to go back to gorging myself but I guess my question is, will I eventually be able to eat a small meal and enjoy it again?

Thanks for the encouragement. I guess I underestimated the emotional turmoil I would experience. I truly didn't understand how deep my dependency on food truly was. This has been the most trying time but I am glad there is light at the end of the tunnel.
