Hi all, I know a lot of you are going to jump down my throat here .. Ie I'm going to die or bust my staples .. I was sleeved April 22nd .. 2014. Two weeks ago tomorow .. I thought having the sleeve would make me not want to eat .. I was so WRONG Soon as I got out hospital I was hungry I lasted the first 10 days on liquid and Iv skipped the puréed stage eating very chewed food instead.. Thing is since I had op I feel no restriction.. liquids or chicken or pizza or crisps... I did feel bit full after Greek yoghurt but that's it! Firstly I'm worried I'm going to die coz I can't stop resist food still... And secondly I worry Iv no restriction at all... Even thought maybe they didn't take my stomach .. No pain or nausea since the op .. Just three scars and a£5000 dent in my bank balance. My psyche has referred me to the eating disorder clinic ... I'm unsure how long it will take I feel so well like I could eat anything I hope I don't give myself a leak ... And I also hope I haven't wasted all that money just to lose 15lbs ... Even had a slight gain this mornng I believed I'd do well with a sleeve and I was committed but I don't know what happened .. Expected to feel differently bout food but I don't.. I still desire to eat it! Strongly

I was told on my pre op tests I had barrets esophegus ... Which increases my cancer risk by %5 a year.... I'm waiting on my biopsy ... At 26 it's unusual to have it so young... I think maybe anxiety is making me turn to food again ...
