I HATE cold food. Having to eat a small amount slowly is driving me nuts. Waiting between bites so it doesn't hurt is smart but cold food at the end is nasty. Hopefully this too will pass. 4 weeks out!

Eating slowly! I hate it! I just want to eat and get on with it!

Well, after 3 years on my own following the break up of a 30 year relationship, at the weekend I finally got naked with someone I have lusted after for years....
He didn't run away screaming at my wrinkly, saggy bits. I took my clothes off - ALL OF THEM!!!! And the world didn't end, he didn't laugh and I didn't die of embarrassment.
Something for me to add to my list when people ask how my sleeve has changed my life - I can do naked :-)))))))
Sorry if is is tmi, but I actually never thought at 52 that I could throw my clothes off with such abandon and without stressing -oh how I love my sleeve!

Good
- I can exercise for thirty minutes without feeling like I am going to die
- I love the feeling of loose clothes
-I have four sizes in my closet and enjoying getting to wear my favorites again
Bad
-I do not like having to eat/drink all day to get the Protein consumed
-it hurts when you don't chew your food enough
- Constipation -milk of magnesia gies me diarrhea. Going to try the Smooth Moves tea.
Still no regrets. Glad I made the decision. Hopefully most of this will subside in time.

Thx

The bad for me was learning how to eat at the right speed and right quantity as the dynamics constantly changed during the first 6 months. Lots of sliming and some throwing up during those early months. It was also hard determining what types of food your sleeve could handle after 1 month when most transition into solids. I never had trouble with eating and drinking at the same time. After 6 months, my sleeve chilled out a bit and became more accepting g of most foods. Today @18 months there is hardly anything my sleeve will reject except too large a quantity.
The good for me was no more high blood pressure (been 110 / 70 for several months now), no more sleep apnea (disappeared during first month), no more pre-diabetic conditions and a much fuller life with my family in terms of quality time and activities. food is no longer the boss of me and I have learned how to eat as an active athletic person of ideal weight.
