Today marks 3 weeks post op
I already can't believe all the changes that have occurred. I still have my ups and downs energy wise, sometimes I get a little attitude from my sleeve when I take too big of a spoonful at once, but I'm happy that I'm tolerating foods well and I'm continuing to slowly progress my diet.
I was thinking today about how just a few days before my surgery I was contemplating whether or not I should even go through with it. At that point, I was thinking maybe I could do all this on my own (even though I have been trying to lose weight for the last several years and have done nothing but gain weight). Well, it's been 3 weeks now and I have followed my diet to a T. Although I've had some junk food "fantasies", I have never been tempted to actually break my diet. Preop, the longest I could last was a few days, 4 days max, and I'd break and order grubhub. Yes, the sleeve is a tool, but right now it has been instrumental in my ability to stay on point. I would never have been able to do this pre-op. Trust me, I've tried!

I'm happy it's working out for you hon. The longer we go without the fantasies, the easier it'll be to just disregard them. One thing I've always noticed though. In my pre-op days, I ate pretty healthy even before the journey, but when I would stick to it for a while and then have myself something fried, etc. I immediately felt sick. Like throw up sick. So, I can only assume that it'll be the same with us now. We're going so long without all of that mess and if we decided to have some, our bodies won't want it. That's the only rejection I like.
