Nola_Loser

I never visit this site and I never post...I really wish I utilized it more but I have pretty much been "on my own" in this journey. Tomorrow I will be 3 months post-op and I'm really feeling weird about this whole situation. Bigest question/reason for this post: Is it normal that I feel hungry a few hours after a "big" meal? I mean I ate a lot tonight, too much in fact that I actually vomited after (that doesnt happen often, so please dont think thats the underlying problem in this post)...but here I am about 2.5 hours later hungry...but I can't decide if I'm REALLY hungry or if its my bad habits creeping back in?? Another thought, I feel like I am already failing at this...I am around 30 lbs lost since surgery which isn't huge compared to other's numbers, but I was on the "smaller" side before surgery so my doctor said that I shouldnt expect to see the drastic numbers others do. I guess I am looking for a little motivation/support/helping words. It's not fair for me to ask that of y'all when I have not been doing the same. I am going to make more of an effort to get on this site because I really talk to no one about this besides my closest family members...but they aren't going through this so it's not really all the support i need. Ok that is my vent for now. ** just to hold myself accountable, I know why I'm not losing more, it is because I have not been exercising like i should.

Thanks y'all. It really helps to hear from everyone and know that I can and WILL get through this. My gosh if this wasn't a life/death situation I'd never stick to this diet....but I will. I have to. I'm going to turn in tonight early....I think that's best right now. Thanks for the support again, it's really meant a lot!

I'm at my wits end right now and it's only been a week. I will have had my sleeve for exactly one week tomorrow (sleeved 5/15/11). I am about to be very over-dramatic and say that i am dying...i am so sick of Clear liquids. I am so "HUNGRY" i just want to chew on something. I don't know if I can wait until Saturday to just to start drinking milk, and eat pudding...wow I'd give anything for celery and ranch dressing right now which I would have been saying chicken nuggets before this. And then wait another week just to begin on sweet potatoes? It seems like eternity. I'm crying. I'm losing it. I know this is for my health, I know in 6 months I will be healthier, happier, and eating REAL food just not binging on it. I know all of these things but I am so fed up with myself right now and needed to vent. I am sick of popsicles. I am sick of Powerade zero/tea/vitamin water/etc. I'm sick of snowballs. I'm sick of all these sweet things like Jello. I just want a bite of real food. Anything. Sorry. I just really needed to have someone hear this.

Thanks y'all! I definitely think its a lack of movement...correcting that as I type. And I had my surgery at Crescent City Surgical Centre (by the Galleria) it was really nice there, I highly recommend it.

I was wondering how long the effects of anesthesia last. I feel so "full" in my chest and arms it hurts a lot. I assume this is from the anesthesia at least...I just feel so icky.
