I just made an interesting connection. The two times I've eaten a small amount too fast and subsequently had pain and threw up, I was stressing out because my husband was grumping around the house at me and the kids. While I ate the right food and the right amount it was awful. So this sleeve is supposed to be a tool to help us figure out how to treat food correctly. I guess my first lesson is that I stuff down my stress with food. In the past I would have chosen something like Ben and Jerry's and not been full until it was gone. Thank you sleeve! Now the grumpy husband is another forum.

Is anyone else frustrated with the difference in advice all of our docs and nutritionists give? Mine said you can never drink too much Protein, straws are fine, etc. I've been looking at various weight loss surgery programs and they really vary as far as food phases. I guess there hasn't been enough time to get a scientific set in stone pathway. Does that mean we all just cross our fingers that our doc/ nut have it right? Aargh!

My surgeon reminded me that this surgery has been performed for ulcers and cancer for over 40 years. That helped.

I'm getting through it all pretty well too. I think the positive thinking part is the best.

Good for you. I'm four days out any positive stories are the best! How are you now?
