Thank you for your support! Just writing everything down made me feel so much better. I just had to get it out of my head and onto 'paper'.

Hello, everyone. I'm brand new here and in need of support from fellow sleevers. I'm five days post-op and starting to think that there is no way I can handle this new lifestyle. Will you indulge me as I just lay all my concerns on you? The fact that I can't freely drink as much Water as I'd like makes me so, so nervous. What if I get dehydrated? Will it take me four hours to drink four cups of water? Also, everyone said I wouldn't be hungry, but I am. This all clear liquid diet is kicking my behind. I know it's mostly mental, but I'm struggling the same. The prospect of another Protein drink, another half cup of broth... I've also become paranoid that I've stretched out my new stomach. Sometimes when I drink it hurts or bubbles. It hasn't even been a week and I'm feeling like I've already reversed the procedure. My main support flew back home today and I had a breakdown as I was mixing chicken flavored Protein powder into my broth tonight. Why did I ever think I could do this?! There's light at the end of this tunnel, right? I'll be able to eat normal food again, right? I keep dreaming of salads...a nice, fresh, green salad packed with vegetables and crunchy as can be. ???????????? End of rant. Thank you for listening!
