Three Bites Too Many

That's good to hear. I had that last minute freak out and almost backed out. I kept thinking, but I want to eat a small piece of cake with my kids on their birthday, without having to race to the bathroom. Or even go out to lunch with my friends. And not have to worry about something embarrassing.

So just throwing out a little story...I am almost one month post-op and I haven’t lost a lot of weight but am so super happy I had this surgery (sleeve)! I used to binge eat until I felt physically sick for no reason. I would eat fast food almost daily at lunch (and of course hide this fact - like did I really think people don’t understand my ability to eat mass quantities when they look at me and my xxl body?? Who was I fooling other than myself??). Lol but seriously I have no desire to eat 2 entire meals from McDonalds now (even took my child there today and got him a meal and got an unsweetened iced tea for myself and was content and did not feel deprived or as if I was being cheated by not being able to have fries - one of my fav things ever in my former food life!). I feel like this surgery helped not only my weight loss journey but also my mental state. Very grateful and feel awesome. Hope others feel the same! Can’t wait to see what the future holds!!! 😀

Nooooo!!! Really stop for a minute and realize what you are saying!! The surgery is AWESOME! It's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing--providing negative feedback impetus for changing your relationship/behavior with food. Aversion therapy. Give yourself a hug and thank your tool for making you miserable and giving you a teaching moment!!! Isn't it amazing that only 1 mini quesadilla from TacoHell gave you a horrible ride on the pain train? Congrats! 🍾

Wow that's a funny and positive way of looking at it (the pain from overeating).

Not with the sleeve
