I love you people!!!! Everyone is so positive and helpful. Sorry to get so emotional...lol! I was reading the concerns of MRS.FullerRN and just the positive and helpful respones got to me. I'm all choked up. To Mrs.FullerRN....I am just about 1 month out from surgery...I too have many many doubts as if I was doing the right thing....my surgery was on a Monday-that Sunday I thought about calling the doctors office and leaving a message saying I was canceling my surgery. I'm so glad I went thru with it. I'm lost 35 lbs so far and feeling so much better about myself. I had almost turned into a hermit, never wanting to go anywhere because I was ashamed of how I looked. I don't think you will regret your decision if you have the surgery, but again it has to be your decision. I wish you the best of luck and health!

Thank you for your reassuring response. I know the sleeve is just a tool, but I was/am so hoping alot of my food cravings will disappear. I'm a sweet tooth maniac and hoping that this is the in past. Again thank you....it really helps to know that I'm not alone.. Also, don't have acid reflux....I had that big time before the surgery.....so far it hasn't returned!!

Hello everyone, I'm new to blogging here, but have been reading for several months. This site is wonderful. I was sleeved on July 8th. I had a pretty uneventful operation.....I felt very good when I woke up, never did feel sore or sick. I'm very grateful but my worry is......did the Dr not take out enough of my stomach? I know that sounds silly. When I awoke from the operation, I was hungry....growling in my stomach hungry. I've been on the pre-op diet of protein shakes 2 weeks prior, so I know that empty in the belly feeling. I'm just about 1 month out from surgery and have lost about 30 lbs. But more often than not I'm just so hungry. I've been faithful to my diet, but at times I just want to eat anything that I see. I can down a whole cup of yogurt or a protein shake...I feel slightly full. I have read that so many people take a sip/bite of something and they can't or don't want anymore. I was so hoping that the cravings would go away. Why am I not full...have I stretched my stomach already? I haven't eaten any solids yet and won't for another 2 months....I'm determined to keep on track...but I'm just so afraid that since I feel so hungry all the time that something is wrong. Is anyone else going thru this? Thank you.
