Keep up the hard work, obviously, your doing great! I loved reading about your positive self body image! Your outlook on your body is one we can all strive to have.

OMG, that is so ME! I'm taking prescription meds for acid, plus additional Zantac, so I don't think it's acid. I'm hungry very two hours, like clockwork. I'm 5 weeks out. I'm obsessing that I'm eating too many calories and I'm going to blow this just like every other diet. I'm eating 1,000 calories a day, including protein drinks. But I do believe this is real hunger. I have gurgling, gnawing hunger. I eat, and it goes away. I'm still on mushies, and am eating mostly protein--egg for breakfast, a protein drink, something like soup, beans or mushed turkey for lunch, an afternoon protein drink, something like a T of peanut butter in the afternoon, then more mush for dinner, and at night before bed (so I don't lie there starving) more peanut butter. I'm also drinking lots of water. I DON'T WANT TO BE HUNGRY ANY MORE!!! I feel so cheated! I thought it would be gone forever, and here I am. I've lost only 21 pounds in 5 weeks, and I'm disappointed because I was hoping for at least 5 pounds a week in this stage.
I was so glad to read your post and know I'm not alone, but I feel for you, too. I see my doc on Friday and I'm going to ask him about it then.

I am 2 days out of being sleeved and the taste of the protein shake makes me want to vomit. I was hospitalized for 3 days because my blood pressure was high. I have not been in pain. I have had some serious bloating and gas pains. I am walking to help with this feeling. Good Luck

Thanks for the comments guys, It sure helps. What a process this all is!!! Im very excited, but im glad to hear im not the only one who was nervous.

I was just sitting here smiling the entire time I read your post because I empathize with each and every situation you describe. So many times I feel alone, and think im silly, for the way I think. Im planning a trip to Las Vegas soon and I DREAD the plane ride because of being stuck in a tiny seat next to someone. My best friend is a size 6 and when I go clothes shopping with her I feel so out of place, I almost need a martini before hand to deal with it . Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and so you know, your not alone!
