Tired Of Food Running My Life

I was so looking forward to having to "make myself eat" after my sleeve. This has definetely not been the case. Im still hungry all the time. Im also upset that I have only lost 1 pound a week for the past 4 weeks. And this is after increasing my workouts from almost nothing to 3-5 days a week. I was so excited when I was in the gym that all of that hard work was going to mean more #'s off the scale. I guess not. Everyday of my life, when I see skinny women, I think to myself "is she hungry all

Im Hungry Every 2 Hours- Only 27 Days Post Op...?!?! Is This Normal

First, I want to say how thankful I am that THIS is my chief problem at this point. I really dont have any other complaints right now.

Im Scared, Pre-op

So I have done all of the pre-op requirments and am just waiting on insurance's approval for the surgery. I must admit, there are days that I think, "what am I doing?!" I hear and read horror stories about nausea after the sleeve, leaking suture lines, and bowel obstructions. I just had a co-worker tell me about a friend of his who said they were more miserable after the surgery because of all of the excess skin he now has. I dont even know if I should believe this, knowing how hard it is to wal
