Hey. I'm 25yo and had a sleeve done on the 21st of august. I'd say now that the first week post surgery is over I'm doing okay, for the most part. I joined here, because I'm hoping someone can help me! I'm constantly aware about times to eat, drink and what I'm eating/drinking. Since my diet is limited, and bland, and altogether unpleasant (due to beneprotein). I'm miserable, and not eating 6x a day like I'm supposed to. I threw up once already recently because I ate too fast and since I've been terrified of overeating. On the flip side, I'm terrified I'm not eating enough and making this worse rather than better. When I met with the nutritionist I understood the importance of adding the Protein, and eating right to regulate my metabolism, but it's challenging to say the least. I don't have an interest in meals most of the time, and when I do feel hungry i'm lucky if I get through a 1/4cup portion. So, what can I do to make this less of a pain in the ass? Is it really that big of a deal if I'm eating 3x instead of 6x? I'm open to meal suggestions too. I'm in the part of the process where I'm supposed to be on a "pureed" diet, and sensitive to salty/sweet foods. (I tried unsweetened strawberry/kiwi apple sauce recently and it was waaaayyy too sweet for right now.) I'm also finding that my muscles around my ribcage where they made a few incisions are tender constantly and have a mind of their own. Sometimes it's like I'm flexing, but I'm completely relaxed. Sometimes it's tight and has spasms, I'm even prescribed muscle relaxants (primarily for back pain) and those muscles are doing everything but relax. I'm uncomfortable most of the time and it's now encouraging the bitchy beast inside of me to come more often than I care to admit. It's not fun being sore, hungry, and sad. Someone help me please! Thanks! Bluues89

I had surgery on the 21st of august. I also, feel concerned about my weight. It's been 3 weeks and I don't go for a followup until September 22nd. I'm concerned I'm bloated and I'm dreading my period.
