Hang in there yall. We all had the surgery for a reason or more. Please keep that/those thing(s) in the forefront of your mind. We must learn to retrain our thoughts, actions and desires. We now eat to live instead of living to eat. The sleeve is our tool, friend, constant pal to help us achieve the things we had trouble doing. For me, it was overeating that I needed help with. Although I am only 2 weeks and 1day out, I have changed my focus from food being the center of my life. I have gone out to Breakfast just to spend time with my partner and it did not bother me because the focus was on sharing time and not the food. I know tgat evemtually I will be able to eat again but my tool will be able to help me not overeat if I use it.
I am sorry that the lady at the party was so insensitive with her statement but in my case that statement may have had some truth and thus the reason I got the sleeve was to help stop me from overeating and getting help conntroling the amount I could wolf down.
Please be careful in the choices you make when you decide to cheat and limit those things as much as possible. My go to cheat has been cheeses nips because they pretty much liquidfy. It was not something I am proud of and I know that if I made that a daily go to, eventually that high carb junk food will get out of hand. My biggest fear is going throigh all of this and ending up gaining all my weight back or not meeting any of my goals. I won't be able to blame anyone but myself because I dod not use the gift I gave myself...my sleeve.
