Yesterday I was 6 days out & oh my goodness this was me. I scoured this site all day looking for threads that showed me others went through the same thing. I talked with a friend today that had the sleeve a year ago & she said this was normal. She said to try to keep yourself busy & I did today & had a much better day. What she said made sense to me. First-you will mourn things that were normal to you. I miss gulping-especially in 100+ degree heat. Second-everyday gets easier. And third-you just had surgery. Any major surgery is going to mess with your emotions, this surgery, having a baby, etc. Give yourself time to heal & take each day one at a time. Those are the things she told me & they helped me see a bit clearer today. I have to say-seeing your post tonight helped me because it affirmed what I was feeling yesterday. The psychological part of this journey maybe the hardest part of all!
