Before surgery I had a love for food. You could always count ok me eating at a different restaurant. I LOVED food. I talked about food with friends, strangers, anyone who would listen. I am grateful for my sleeve because I am finally able to control my weight but I sometimes miss food. I have no desire to eat and if I didn't need to I probably wouldn't. Trying to figure out my Protein grams and ensuring that I'm eating the right combination of food has become a chore. I don't want to complain but maybe in a few months I'll feel like eating again. I asked a thin friend of mine who told me that she eats for nourishment but doesn't look forward to it. Maybe that is what the sleeve has done to me, turned me into a person who isn't obsessed with food but one who sees food as nourishment and a means of survival.

Today is officially my four week post op day, I am down to 252 pounds and I can fit pants that I haven't worn in years. I haven't had the time to really focus on myself, a friend was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor so I've been focused on his well being and not on my own. I am so happy that I have the sleeve and not trying to do all of this on my own. Honestly, I would have cheated and gained 5-10 pounds with the stress of the situation. Honestly having the sleeve has been the best decision ever!!!
