Random though: Hoping my calves will get slimmer so I can buy boots

Ok, this is great. I never ever ever could buy boots because my thighs were too big. Even the wide calf boots would not work. Last year I tried some on about 8 weeks post op and nope, still no go.
2 weeks ago I decided to try again. Imagine me sitting in the boot department on Macy's surrounded by at least 15 pairs of boots. They all fit! Every single pair and not the wide calf boots either. My husband saw how excited and happy I was he let me buy two different pairs. One black pair of leather coach riding boots and one pair of Marc Fischer brown knee high boots.
You will get there and it will feel awesome when you do!

I tried speaking with other people while eating but I thought I looked silly because everyone else were shoveling their food into their mouth haha. But I know, I can't eat alone all the time. I have to get used to this.
At lunch today I always put down my fork and went on 9gag on my phone while chewing that helped haha

Does your port ever feel uncomfortable?

Can it be I need another fill after 1 week. I feel I can eat too much

Give it some time. You don't want to get it too tight because it will cause you to get food stuck. Give it a couple weeks and see how you do. I found it helpful to eat very slow and stop when I started to feel full. It Is easy to get in the habit of eating more than we should and what is actually happening is the esophagus is dilating. I went through all of this for 11 years. Finally got tired of stuck food and vomiting. Converted to a sleeve May 28th. It may be helpful to weigh your food for a while.

Ate some unhealthy food this weekend Feeling kinda bad

Best advice I can think of is try not to beat yourself up over it. It is done and you cannot undo it. if you are like me, and you beat yourself, you will end up in that vicious cycle of "well I will start over again on Monday", etc. Start over now. Don't wait. One meal, one hour, one minute at a time. Learn from it and move on. (Can you tell this is something I have dealt with already and already discussed extensively with a counselor? ) One good piece of advice the counselor said, is ask yourself, what would you say to a friend that came and told you the same thing? Would you beat them up or be encouraging? Think of that and then give yourself the same kind advice.
