I feel you Frye. Today was a good enough day as any and I felt sad. I noticed my mood was irritable and I picked a fight with my boyfriend for no reason. This is a very difficult process and def not the "easy way out"! We are mourning the loss of a major organ!!! If we had to get our leg cut off we would have to grieve that as well. This is no different. And now we don't have food to help us cope like we used to. This surgery is a constant reminder of my addiction to food and all my cravings are heightened and in my face. Because before the sleeve I would have just given in and eaten the craving. Now I can't and I have mixed feelings about it. I get you. I know it's hard. I'm hoping its gets easier....:0/ either way its a battle, I'm hoping we are on the winning side.

I bought raspberries and smashed them and ate them. Delilsh. Or what about a tablespoon of peanut butter?

Yes I def experienced that. I just rested when I got too tired. Everyone on here says it will get better with time. I think our bodies is in shock with such little calories

I totally agree with you. I am 3 weeks out. I'm either drinking or eating. I just ate 3 slices of felt meat and two tablespoons of cottage cheese and I'm stuffed. I could not finish my shake this am because it finally made me nauseous. You have lost more than me. Since the surgery I have lost 7 pounds and average 600 calories a day. I feel like I'm doing it wrong. Then when I look back I had 1/4 cup of cottage cheese!!! It's frustrating.

Hi. I am 3 weeks out and I love Yard House's Ahi Tuna sushi (it's ahi tuna in chunks, cucumber, edamame, and avocado stacked up. No rice) does anyone know when I can eat this? Also, I have visions of eating a bite of a nice sandwich. Will I ever be able to eat a bite of a sandwich? It seems like bread is hard for people.

I'm trapped in a car with everyone eating McDonalds cheeseburgers, fries, chicken nuggets! I got an ice tea. I am secretly annoyed and talking to myself about how bad they are all eating but man this sucks right now. I had a protein shake this morning that made me feel like barfing at the end:( why does this make me so sad!? It's food!!!! Just food. Yet everything from Thai to Mexican has crossed my mind. ???? I feel crazy. (Rant over)

My surgeon told me I can use any BC. I am on the pill. So far so good.

Good luck to us both I guess. Lol. Maybe we can be their motivation to eat at home more. My boyfriend has been amazing and his son has taken care of me too. I am a lucky girl in this house of boys. Good luck on your journey BethXXX!

I was sleeved through Kaiser SouthBay on Torrance by De. Belzberg. A year ago he removed my lap band. I trust him completely and am feeling good 11days out.

Yeah you're right, lots of carbs and sodium. I think I will just stay away because pho is one of my comfort foods so I would rather just not have it. Does any one else get grosses out at the thought of puréed meat? The thought of it grosses me out.

This is so exciting! Thanks!

I was served 1/10 and I came home yesterday and felt good which was probably because the morphine hadn't worn off. Last night I woke up to myself dry heaving because I had nothing to vomit up. I woke up three times to vomit and it hurt so bad to have my wounds move like that. Today I tried everything. I walked. I slept. I drank Water. I took meds as listed and I just feel so irritable like my skin is throbbing with cakes and pains and everything grosses me out. I'm scared this feeling won't go away and I have done setting irreparable. Can anyone tell me they have felt this way the first couple nights and now they are better? I have heard people say they didn't feel any pain ever. I need to hear I'm not the only one because right now I feel miserable and just want to know it won't always be like this. Please.
