I am 8 months post op (vertical sleeve). I have lost 121 lbs. and doing great. I couldn't be more pleased with my results. I almost feel bad for writing this... but I miss eating. There are a lot of foods that I can't eat anymore, whether it be because its too high in calories or my body just wont digest it. I hate going out to eat or just eating at family get togethers. I really don't enjoy food anymore. I am constantly observing what there is to eat, if there is anything I can eat. Trying to count calories in my head. Thinking about is it really worth it to eat this or that. etc. After I eat like 2 or 3 bites I am full and I just sit and stare at everyone else just dive into their food. And family and friends are all like "that's it?" "that's all you are going to eat?" Don't get me wrong I love my sleeve & its totally worth it. But does anyone else have these feelings of missing food or almost being mad at people that can eat? I know I sound selfish and I don't mean to sound that way.

When I drink through a straw it makes my stomach hurt and I am 8 months post op. It might just be best to do away with straws for a while.

Thank You To Everyone That Commented On Here!

Thank You!

Thank You! You Can Do It!

Thanks! I went to your profile and you aren't far behind me on the weight loss! You are also doing a wonderful job! We will see 150 on those scales by this summer! WE GOT THIS!

Thank You So Much For Your Kind Words. I can't wait to see my scales say 199 lbs. haha

I had my vertical sleeve surgery August 5, 2011 weighing in at 321 lbs.! Now almost 8 months later I weigh 200lbs. (total of 121 lbs lost). My question... is this right on track? slow? fast? My goal is to be at 150 lbs. by August 5, 2012. Hoping I can do it. I try to exercise daily, but some days its hard because I am chasing my two year old twins around (which is also a pretty good work out). I feel like I should be losing more... Can anyone help with advice and tips? Please & Thank You
