You're starting in the right direction. Reach out to people who are similarly situated. You may begin to enjoy the solitude.
Just don't reach in the fridge to make you feel better.
Good luck!

candyleo reacted to joellaramsey in 3 weeks post-op: Pizza and Pasta?!
I did this myself today I had a small cup of Beans and cheese from del taco and didn't stop until I also ate part of a steak taco and it got stuck and I had to force myself to throw up. I consider it a lesson and now I wont push the boundary again. I am also week 3 don't hate yourself just learn from the mistake.

Sorry- also you don't want complications. If you don't follow the rules who will you blame your complications on- yourself or the procedure? Sorry I'm upset with you right now. You need some tough love. I don't like your people right now for not caring more. Come here next time you get ready to do something crazy like that. We all would like a slice of pizza or a bite of dessert, and I am sitting here miserable on my liquid diet, but I'll be damned if I would go through all of this and cause myself harm for a bite of Pasta. It can wait.

Sorry I'm not sugar coating anything. You're 3 weeks out AND you know better. Why would you go through all of this to possibly damage a major organ in your body? It's not healed yet. You need to call your doctor and try to get some assistance and also the people around you need to be told don't do that and should be more supportive than that. It's not ok. Really.

Getting super excited. My surgery is Monday. Didn't have to do the liquid diet. Just 1200 calorie diet. And can even have a light Breakfast on Sunday. Can't wait. Keep me motivated sleevers!!!!

I confess:
I gained weight on my pre-op diet and had to wait another month for my surgery date.
I thought it was silly to have a requirement of weight loss before having the surgery.
On the way home from the hospital I was sad because I missed my best friend food and felt stupid for having done this to my body.
I felt as though I didn't have anything to look forward to any more on the way home from the hospital.
It is hard to believe I have gone a week without Food and even harder to believe I have another week before I can start eating one 3oz serving of Protein a day.
Against Dr. orders to not bend down and not to pick up anything over 20 pounds I bend down to pick up 2 of my dogs and carry them upstairs because one is too old to go up on his own and the other one is afraid to go upstairs. They won't let my husband pick them up or carry them.
I'm amazed at how fast my weight is dropping off and how much energy I am gaining.
Whereas before I envied people who had their whole stomach and could eat whatever they want, I now feel sorry for those people that do not have such a wonderful tool to keep them from over eating.

Some of these are really sad, though I can understand things being said in jest. Confession is disclosure of an offense. And an awful lot of these things are our nature, not our sins. I really really from the bottom of my pragmatic heart hope that you guys aren't seeing things like "I want McDonald's" or "I've eaten desert" or "I'm craving favorite foods" as things to incite guilt or emotional unrest. We're still humans, we're just humans with partial stomachs.

I confess that I really miss my "girls" being bigger already
I confess that some days I'm just plain lazy and don't do any exercise
I confess that I'm looking forward to trying nookie again what with all the comments about how it gets better
I confess that I could murder a glass of wine
I confess that I'm definitely one of those with oestrogen issues as I've become a complete sap

I had a very successful sleeve. Yesterday . Dr. Price also found a hiatal hernia and repaired it. So far no nausea and the pain is manageable. Had broth and a Popsicle for lunch. I. Walks twice this morning and will get ready to walk some more. Glad tone on the loser's bench!

Surgery went well. Thankful I had no nausea or dizziness. Pain isn't that bad. Seems more like sore muscles.
