I have done the same thing. So glad I am not the only one. My sleeve was done 7 mo ago and I was hoping to reach goal by Aug. You gave me inspiration though! Thank you for your honesty as it really helps me to know that I am not alone. I have a bad tendancy to drink after eating which I am ashamed to say. This is because I totally forget that we are not supposed to drink after eating. Like just now, I had 1/2 egg w/cheese on 1/2 wheat thin. I hit the wall and am full but forgot the rule and had a few sips of my coffee. Will do better! I want to say I am so greatful to all of you out there! You are my life line.

There is so much good advice here. I had my sleeve the end of Oct-2014 and cannot eat much at all. I wish I could eat part of a hamburger but I am actually not wanting to eat. I feel very empty even when I eat; it is a weird feeling-almost painful For dinner I manage a few bites and in the AM I can tolerate a piece of toast. I can't possibly drink all the Fluid recommended nor can I tolerate meat very well. Talked with the surgeons office and they said it will take time. They said to just eat what I can tolerate for now. Currently having right side pain under my ribs. Do not know what that is about. All this being said, I am glad to have had the surgery and have gone off all HTN drugs. Like you, Sand... I do not exercise much. Busy working, and working. Don't pay attention to the people who write knee-jerk reactions. Most people do that when stressed. Means nothing. Appreciate you all! Still feels hard to believe that maybe someday I will reach goal!
