33 year old male here. i was sleeved one week ago today. At my highest weight i was 320 lbs. Today i weighed in at 288.6. Been a real challenege so far. On monday i was actually thinking i had made a mistake, but i feel better about my decision now. food has been such a huge part of my identity for so long, it has been a real struggle to just put it down. But, i am staying true to my surgeons directions, as hard as it may be. Tomorrow is when i get to start the soft pureed diet and i am soooo excited. Never thought i would be excited about tuna fish. Lol.

Hello Brandon and welcome to the forum! I was just sleeved a little over three weeks ago... I also went through the "huge mistake" phase and shed plenty tears of frustration! Glad you are feeling better though and it will keep getting easier from there! Best of luck to you on your journey!

Congrats on your success so far. I also have had to forge a new relationship with food. I knew my life was revolving around it in many ways (dinner with friends, dinner out period, Snacks, junk food) but this decision really pointed that out. I like the new relationship my sleeve forces me to have and I am coming to respect that I need to eat like a skinny person.

Good luck on your journey to health! You will be amazing!
