My 1 month update

[Brockcrawford 5]

Hey guys here is my story so far.....

Pre op i didnt do a diet because it was too short notice and on surgery date i weighed 326.2 lbs.

Post op day one i kept vomiting black blood and felt awful with gas pains and i had to walk which was painful but i was told it was to prevent DVT and help the gases.

I was discharged and did a 2 week clear Fluid diet which in i realised i could drink as much as i wanted which frankly scared me but my diet was Jello , New whey protien and allot of watered down Soup sachets.

I felt hungry allot but it varied from day to day and meal to meal. Specially when i went on to mushies.

Then came the clear fluids for a week which didnt really fill me up that much but it was better than the clears. I was gettong in about 600-900 calories a day and walking sporadically . At my 2 week visit my doctor was impressed with my weight loss but i asked him about feeling satisfied and that i had buyers remorse sometimes cause i never really hit that sweet spot and he said to wait till solids.

Week 4 i was on mushies. I had my first "full" feeling with amys organic chilli blended. It was a burping oh crap kinda feeling that didnt last long and it was after 4 or 5 spoons.

I was doing ok through the mushies then i cheated at the end with a kobe steak as a treat. The steak freaked me

out because it was a 5 ounce steak and i had 2 pieces of dim sum with it and yeah it felt kind of uncomfertable and

satisfying at the same time but then i got worried.

So far a month in and first 2 days onto solids, yesterday i went out with a co worker and i had to go to a restraunt and i orderd a steak since that was the best thing between what they had and i orderd the smallest steak which was 7 ounces and i ate it slowly but with no problems. But i felt pressured cause my co worker kept pointing out i didnt eat anything. I was amazed i could eat the steak whole!! Anyway today i can hardly eat anything and im very confused. Is it normal to be able to eat that much one day and not much the next? Is steak a slider? I didnt have anything else with it i.e sauce/ sides. Im now getting 800-1200 calories and my weight is now 293lbs.

The wrap up is i discoverd that i must be a compulsive eater and im dealing with that but its hard. 2nd is that i need to learn allot more about my sleeve.
