    Awww Coleen it'll work itself out with time. I know exactly what you mean and how you feel. I wish I could say that these feelings will pass in a couple of days and you'll be overjoyed. But I'm going to tell you this instead:
    It's hard to change your entire way of life. In fact it really blows at times. Let me tell you what the sleeve did for me. I lost weight - yes ma'am. I like my new appearance. It's been over 2 years now. In that 2 years I've been through every emotion imaginable. Some good and a whole lot of frustration and having to learn to fight off the demons that made me overeat and be fat in the first place.
    That was the real struggle. But I did it. I came to terms with my feelings, my shortcomings, and my dysfunctional mind that equated contentment with a big ole cheeseburger. For a good while I secretly hoped the people around me would choke on whatever delicious thing they were scarfing down. Then I was angry. Then I was regretful. Then I was sad.
    Then I pulled myself together.and found out that I didn't need my good friend food to be happy. I could be happy all by myself and actually come to like the person I was becoming. And now here I am telling you about it.
    You'll make it too:). Hang in there and work thru this process. You will end up feeling beautiful inside and out.

    Sheilawillwin got a reaction from purrfctangel in Feeling sick after eating   
    Hello i had my surgery over a month ago and take omeprolazole 40 mgs 1 a day. Been having alot of trouble with indigestion acid reflux . I woke up just this morning with not to be gross but i had ate fish last night also, and i had acid in my throat choking when i swallowed it burned my throat so bad. I could not swallow for over 30 min. I called my doc he doubled my PPI 80mgs a day he said if its waking me up this shld stop. Correct me if im wrong a cold ir frozen drink makes it numb/maybe burn and hurt. You are newer out of ur procedure so hv u called md yet and hv u started pills? Best wishes Sheila!
