Looking for a Friend

Hi all! I got sleeved on 5/31 and I was wondering if any one would be willing to be a mentor. I'm doing pretty well pain wise, but I have this feeling that I'm not going to like the new me. I know it was something that I needed to do in order to be healthier, but my head hunger is getting in the way. All I want right now is a burger and it kills me to know I can't have one. I just don't want to worry about what I can and cannot eat for the rest of my life. Sorry, just needed to vent.

you're going to get through this! the first couple of weeks after surgery are the hardest I think.

I am 3 1/3 months out and now I have a burger (without bun) if I want one. ok. so I can only eat half of it - but that's all I want anyway. You will have other things you want and there are good choices as alternatives.

your profile says lap-band - but you had the sleeve? might need to change that in your settings if you can because it's a little confusing.

I agree with christinamo7. The first two weeks seem difficult because you DO have to worry about what you put into your system. Trust me when I tell you, I was a HUGE binger all my life. I could sometimes eat over 10,000 (yes, that's 10 THOUSAND) calories in a day sometimes. During my early 40's I decided to curb that though, and tried eating better for my health. Incidentally, I believe I am the main reason I developed type 2 diabetes, knowing it ran in my family (what?? Nobody runs in my family, badumbump). I stopped the major overeating, and went to just overeating normally, lol. I was 277 at surgery and that was almost five weeks ago. I was 255 at my one week postop. I don't know what /if I've lost more (I feel like it) but I don't care. I know I'm on the right track and I CAN'T overeat or I will vomit. I HAVE eaten one or twice to the point of "too full" and couldn't stand the feeling but it's NO WHERE near what I used to eat. Not to mention, I don't eat sweets, fried, bread, Pasta, etc and frankly, I don't want any of that yet! The second week postop I craved weird things like watermelon (still haven't had) and Brussel sprouts. I'm a weirdo. Anyhoo, my point of this is to say, you won't be thinking of what to eat as much as you do the first few weeks. You will just make sure to not your Protein so you aren't tired and remember at any meal time, nutrients (protein) first! This is a tool. Good luck!
